stringer bell

Barring a collapse, I think the White Sox won the Central. Also, I think Abreu just won the MVP.

Who is 2.5 ahead of Cleveland? The Twins are 4 up and have the tiebreaker.

At least the non-catch didn't allow Dyson to reach. Need a couple runs.

The third ball in the air that hasn't been caught. Ugly game.

Gonzo might be slow, but he's surehanded.

Offense can take their share of the blame, but the defense didn't turn in a double play they should have made. Pitching staff allowed too many runners, that is, the bullpen.

ChiSox trying hard to let us back in, but the team will have none of it.

Chicago scored two without a homer. I think that seals it. Hello Yankees, at the rate NY is playing, probably at Yankee Stadium.

I'm betting that at least Abreu hits the ball and I hope they don't overshift too much.

Kepler goes through rough patches at the plate, and with the swing he has I have always thought he should hit for a higher percentage. The power last year made up for the relatively low BA, especially since he gets his share of walks. But, it is maddening to see the stretches of weak popups and Ks as he is going through now.

Plays not made when no error is charged.

There's a double.

All in all, I think the ejection is on Donaldson, not the ump.

No faith that the Twins can score any way than by home run.

I'd hate to see Dyson beat the Twins.

That's as good as a double.

Agreed. Also, I believe the team that produces runs without hitting the ball over the fence wins today. Given the Twins recent history, that wouldn't favor the Twins.

What's that, a single?

Looks like six from Maeda, who has been great again, but this offense..........is offensive.

Didn't Abreu used to be a rather chunky guy? He has certainly aged well.

Or they could be making room for someone like Kirilloff. I'm really surprised the guy outrighted was Littell.

OK offense, time for a crooked number. Lopez is better than he showed his first two starts again the Twins, but he's not that good.

White Sox vs. Twins--Without looking Anderson and Abreu have been great. Robert and Jiménez up and down. Engle, Madrigal and McCann pesky and Moncada, Grandal, Mazara and especially Encarnacion cold. To me, the two young outfielders have determined the outcomes of the games so far. Get them out and the Twins win the games.

So, with the COVID-19 protocols, what is being done with "around the horn"? I've seen the catcher both thrown the ball directly back to the pitcher and I've also seen him throw the ball to third. On the first out in the bottom of the first, Sanó threw the ball to Maeda after a ground out.

Scoreless first for the Twins. A walk and stolen base, but Cruz struck out with Polanco on second.
