Game Thread: Rangers @ Twins 6:10 PM 8/20/2021

Archer, for the most part, has looked pretty good so far, 1st inning notwithstanding. 

[RpR]

As far as fielding Simmons is still the best we ever had, but Leo Cardenas was not one only  of the best we had,  his years here were the best he ever performed fielding and two of his best three with a bat.

[h2oface]

Archer goes down that time! Called strike though.

[AussieG]

I take it all back, Correa is overrated ?

[LVTwinsfan]

The infamous Bremer “Don’t blame me” jinx.

Correa was his victim this time 

[h2oface]

As good as Correa can be, he sure blows a lot of routine throws.... like that one. Another throwing error. 

I guess I pay attention too much.

I'm surprised nobody has said anything about the hickey that Archer has on his neck. He must have spent some time last night in the back of a 71 VW Super Beetle...oh wait, that might have been me.

Correa with a LAZY throw.  That was an extra out that Texas was fortunately unable to take advantage of.

That also aged well (error in the fifth).

Wow Otto was at 47 pitches last I looked, if he were with the Twins, he would be pulled.

No, Simmons is not the best we've ever had, not even close

NO one was better or even clost to as good, period.

“Here’s a word from Tria”. Literally one word

BABAZA freedom

BABAZA wooo

[Squirrel]

Guess it's the night of shortstops to make some bad throws

[Parfigliano]

Cave gifted 1st base.  Watching him hit induces my gag reflex.

[mrtwinsfan]

Both Shortstops, showing off there 30+ million a year arms tonight

So what  he is on first base.

[RpR]

Gee I wish Cave had not gotten on first so we would have that icky run.

[Nine of twelve]

Arraez was born to hit pitched baseballs.

[Aggies7]

BABAZA woooo tie game 

[mrtwinsfan]

1  run last 12+  innings,  its a start ?

Really fun to watch hit. I wish he had a position he really excelled at. I think he is the worst at first. Just too short.

Just barely.  And then it was over.

[h2oface]

Archer done at 77 pitches. As inconsistent as Baldy can be, he is very consistent about when he pulls starters, especially Archer.
