Article: Game Thread: Twins @ White Sox, 4/7@7:10pm CT

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

White Sox are throwing the ball all over the yard.  They kinda look like the 2016 Twins.

[Darius]

Buxton had to have missed a sign, right? How can you not have him bunt?

[Aggies7]

As good as the defense was in the first two innings, that's a rough few ABs for cws

[ashbury]

Ho boy, bad baserunning instincts by Grossman there. He who hesitates... makes it to third anyway on a bad throw.

[Vanimal46]

A run!!!! Yes!!!!!

 

I'm so positive right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jerr]

 

Thanks, I made it myself!

One could drink it, passed out on the floor lol

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

 

Does anyone else feel sorry for Buxton?  Or are we just angry?  I'm unsure how to process this right now. 

I feel sorry that he's inexplicably batting third, which seems to put more pressure on him.  But I'm also angry that he can't hit a dang baseball.

[nicksaviking]

That was a clean hit!

 

Man these scorers!

Yeah not sure why the pic uploaded that way!

[MNTSchmitt]

Nice we tied it up!

[Winston Smith]

 

Why is it called a Foul line, if it's a Fair ball when it hits it?

That's a fair question. I think the answer would be one of those unwritten rules.

Sano needs to be benched for the lack of hustle. He should be at 2B right now and not 1B. After this inning Molitor should bench him & put Mauer in. He needs to learn how the play the game correctly. That laziness is inexcusable!

I think you are forgetting that he's 378 pounds

Ya take it from the floor??? Kinda early for the celebration, for another win

Maybe he's getting a pass for turning a double into a triple yesterday.

It wasn't a great hustle by Sano.  But I don't think the Twins have the luxury of benching their best hitter, nor should they for just one baserunning play - IMO.

[AZTwin]

Impressed by the patience coming from both Kepler and Sano. They both worked a full count after falling behind 0-2.

Could be! It was only supposed to be 5% ABV but I get nice and toasty after two!

[Aggies7]

Nice AB anyways

He's running on the 3-2 2 out pitch.

Sano's done it twice now!  Nice patience.

They showed the dugout after Grossman scored and he did not looked happy

[Vanimal46]

Smoke break... see you in 10.

[Pardon My Dinger]

Sano's done it twice now! Nice patience.

Agreed. However, he's always done this. He strikes out a ton but he gets deep in counts. One of his powers, regardless of what Dick has had to say this week.

[nicksaviking]

He's running on the 3-2 2 out pitch.

So he'd probably get even more heat getting thrown out at second before Grossman crossed the plate.

[TNTwinsFan]

I'm just super impressed that the beer hasn't spilled!! How the heck did you get it not to spill while it was on its side like that?!

[Jerr]

Twins' top of the order needs to get going, been very unimpressive this year.

[Aggies7]

Oh oh it's magic

[TNTwinsFan]

Hughes at 89-90....no bueno...he's getting lucky on a cold, windy night. I bet guys start straightening out some of those pop-ups and they turn into frozen ropes come late April and early May...

[BoofBonser]

Momentum is shifting our way... let's take advantage this half inning
