Gamethread: Twins vs. Tribe 1:10pm cdt 8/2/2020ad

Not a bad try. Now at least Garver has seen some pitches and will have a fresh at-bat.

Dick says that Cleveland has lost its challenge but it depends on what they were challenging. If they were challenging the fair/foul call they lose it but if they were challenging that it should have been called a double then they don't lose it. I don't think Dicknroy ever confirmed which call was being challenged.

And on a related matter I have said before that I think the challenge rule should be modified. Overturning the call on the field should not require clear evidence to the contrary. Instead, I think the reviewers should NOT know the call on the field. The reviewers should rule safe, out, or inconclusive. (Or, as in this case, fair, foul, or inconclusive.) The call on the field stands only if the reviewers rule inconclusive.

Gets a 2nd chance next inning.

 

Our run game is almost as good as our walk game.

Right field foul line has been good to the Twins.

Baseball Reference says that Clippard used to pitch for the Yankees. Does that make him the Yankee Clippard? Can he play centerfield?

[Mill1634]

2 clean innings from Clippard...I'll take that

Do the opener stats count towards the bullpen's, starter's, or own stats?

Yes

Even if there are a 100 fair balls that should have been foul for the Twins I still don’t think it would make up for Joe’s in the playoffs....

Smeltzer makes me nervous. I don't know if his stuff translates to the big leagues. Hope I'm wrong...

[Nine of twelve]

The Twins have 2 runs with 0 LOB. Wonder what is the most runs scored by a team with 0 LOB.

[FlauerPauer]

Nice inning!

[Mill1634]

Smeltzer with a perfect 3rd on 9 pitches..me gusta.

I tried. It took me on a few unproductive tangents.

If Bauer were still pitching for Cleveland, both those Kepler at bats would have been outa there
