Game Thread, Twins @ White Sox, 5/24 @ 1:10 pm CT

[David HK]

OK, g'nite all--  my work here is done.  Here's hoping Gibby keeps rolling, and the Sox keep that good team/ bad baseball thing going.  

To all who are at the game today, enjoy!  And somebody have an Italian Beef for me.

[David HK]

Ah, crapola.  Just when I'm signing off on a good note-  oh, well.  Zzzzzz.....

It took me about 15 minutes to read the original post.  I appreciate the effort that went into this and it was interesting to have a window into the complex mind of a devout fan whose perspective is vastly different from my own.  Thanks, always33.

Be well distant friend.

OK, let's get an insurance run here.  I need to go pick up breakfast, but would like a 5 run lead before I leave.

Once again I come to the game thread and have to go to MLB for a SCORE or DETAILS of the actual game

Definition of insanity.

Aw, thanks. I got kind of carried away and wrote way too much...never again. Guess I had a bunch of words bottled up inside of me as a result of being one of the most painfully shy people in the world in real life (this internet thing is all just fantasy, right?). But like I said...never, ever again. Unless I write a book. And it won't be an autobiography - though it may be about the Twins.

Byron Buxton flies out to right fielder Socrates Brito.
Jorge Polanco singles on a soft fly ball to center fielder Mitch Haniger.
Miguel Sano homers (9) on a fly ball to left center field. Jorge Polanco scores.
Travis Harrison pops out to shortstop Sean Jamieson.
Max Kepler doubles (13) on a fly ball to right fielder Socrates Brito.
Adam Walker II doubles (10) on a fly ball to left fielder Zach Borenstein. Max Kepler scores.
Mike Gonzales singles on a fly ball to right fielder Socrates Brito. Adam Walker II scores.
Carlos Paulino lines out to first baseman Rudy Flores.

Fantasy, bad dream......whichever.

MLB Gameday is a good dream today...though it's a nightmare when I don't have the radio on since it's so delayed.

[blairpaul715]

Wow, it doesnt have to be said if you are watching, but Gibsons ball is really moving, and his slider , if kept low is a fantastic pitch.......also he seems to be going in and out and up and down, if he pitches like this all the time, he could be a #2 pitcher, but he has to keep having some K's....so far today has been fabulous

[mnsportsgeek]

Well, if the past two days hold true, Gibson's day will be over after this inning.

[formerly33]

5 down, 5-1 Twins, 6 SO for Gibson.

[twinsnorth49]

Gibson is a great example for why it's important to be patient with Trevor May.

[blairpaul715]

Well remember now, we have 13 pitchers(unneeded) , so we have to give them all some pitching time, sarcasm.............................why 13 when we havnt needed our 12th pitchers much this yr, and after just coming off 2 off days.

[blairpaul715]

Another 2 runs for Chattanooga in the second inning, Harrison with a triple, imagine Buxton would have gotten 5 bases on that one

Because Stauffer earned his spot.

Why is not allowed when discussing the Twins.

[formerly33]

Game threads sure are quiet when Chief is gone...and Brian...and no Bark to humor Brian...and ChiTown at the game...I'm sure there are some other Most Valuable Posters missing here, but my mind is drawing a blank.

 That little guy always makes me wince. The Sox must look like this to him:

 

 

[blairpaul715]

Houston ahead of Detroit and St Louis ahead of KC and the minors are looking good so far today too

Weird, I was beginning to think the Royals would go 148-14.

[zchrz]

Sox announcers are in full out depressed mode lol, barely even call the game.

Now that is a sad thought indeed.

Kind of like that epic Hawk call where somebody (don't remember who) homered and he was silent. The umpires have been doing pretty good, so there was no need for his "NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!" call.

Ya I was distracted and just listening when we were scoring, I looked at the score and was rather surprised because all I had heard was multiple "umm welps".

This is what we say to Quintana. And it reminds me that we are also missing Ash.

[TheDean]

Hopefully that bloop gets Hicks going. Speed on the bases.

[Blake]

Just for the Sox fans I posted: "Jose Quintana:He Gone!!!"
