Game Thread: Twins @ White Sox, 4/9/17@1:10pm CST

[Mill1634]

Great catch by Mauer

[stringer bell]

Gold glove play by Mauer.

[BoofBonser]

 

If the lead holds, I'd like to see Breslow get the 9th. 

Why?

[gocgo]

Big out there. Mauer flashing leather. Dp would be soul crushing here.

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Belisle looks terrible

[stringer bell]

Rocky outing for Belisle.

[glunn]

Someone should be warming up in the bullpen.

[diehardtwinsfan]

ugh... we need a double play here.

[Mill1634]

 

Why?

Because he hasn't got much work in and if you're up four why not? We have bigger issues on our hands now though. Duffey should be the 8th inning guy. 

[ashbury]

Sano really like to hug and caress his teammates

[glunn]

Whew, that was a much needed K.

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Huge K

[Mill1634]

I like going to Kintzler here. Ground ball pitcher. 

[glunn]

We could use one more K then one more insurance run then I can wash the dog.

[Bark's Lounge]

Kintzler needs to keep the BP magic alive here.

You should wash the chickens too while you are at it.

[Mill1634]

Wow.

[BoofBonser]

Sigh

[glunn]

That was bad.

[glunn]

Kintzler looks rattled.

[BoofBonser]

Can we re-insert Ervin in for the 9th? 
Thanks.

Breslow is my candidate for demotion if/when they go to 12 pitchers. I don't think the Twins need to cater much to him.

 

Huge break on the wild pitch not picked up by Anderson.

[Mill1634]

Got out of it only allowing one. I'll take it. Let's add on a few here. 

[glunn]

Whew.  Now we need 2 insurance runs.

[gocgo]

Not quite soul crushing, but I'll take it.

[NoCryingInBaseball]

Little damage...now on to teh 9th!

 

[diehardtwinsfan]

Let's hope for some runs, with Buxton getting an RBI hit. 

[Bark's Lounge]

I expected a run to be scored for the sux. Crisis averted.

 

The young bucks need to step up in the top of the 9th.

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Who do we think has the best chance of being a legit closer in our minor leagues. Romero?

I don't disagree with this, but I'd like to see Tonkin demoted before Breslow. It doesn't hurt having two lefties in the pen, although I think there are better LHP in the minors.
