Game Thread: Twins @ Chicago White Sox, 5/6/18 @ 11:10 AM PT (1:10 PM CT)

Gibson had 100 pitches, no reason not to leave him in. Sick of if, the starter gets thru 6 it's good    

 

Out for the Sun and the radio.....................GO TWINS!!!!!

 

[twins_89]

Pulling Gibson just because he got to 100 pitches bothers me. He was dominant today and should have been given the chance to get out of the inning. Instead Duke comes in and gives up the game tying hit.

It's a good thing you didn't marry me. 

On many levels.

I took a stopwatch to Wilson's last at bat.  All things consistent, he would have a 40 time of 6.31 seconds.

Mauer the crafty baserunner!!!1

Mauer the crafty baserunner!!!1

And Yolmer Sanchez not realizing he's supposed to look a guy back

[kydoty]

That play right there shows just how great of a baserunner Mauer is.  He knew no one was covering 3rd, so he was able to distract the fielder.  And if they went home with it, Mauer just goes back to 3rd and the bases are loaded.

[Jerr]

And the radio call on that last hit???? Way too much homer-ism and hype....now I'm out and counting on those here for the Twins Win !!!

Great pitcher name for the Sox -- "Bummer."

Been following here and on Gamecast, and gotta say, this is a fun game.

[ashbury]

That is a weird delivery by Nate Jones.

I remember reading about Rosario in the minor league forum years ago. He was promising then (pacing Sano for home runs) and now he is delivering. He killed that ball.

I like how he freezes the ball so that the hitter can get a good look at it.

[Blake]

by the way, I don't think Rodney is slow, per se, I think he's very deliberate but I don't see him as someone who screws around on the mound like other pitchers I've watched.

[Puckett34]

Clean inning.  Please Rodney

[adorduan]

Cleveland lost again too.  

[70charger]

Is two runs enough for Rodney? I'm pretty hungry for some chicken.

[ashbury]

Escobar shows his mettle on a difficult popup.

[glunn]

 

Clean inning.  Please Rodney

Has that ever happened?

[ashbury]

I like how he freezes the ball so that the hitter can get a good look at it.

Yeah, it would be a good strategy if he got by on deception and was trying to distract. But he seems to be a fastball pitcher. I don't get it.

[Nine of twelve]

Has that ever happened?

Yes. On Friday.

[ashbury]

Little bit of a shaky route for LaMarre but he's fast enough and got it done there.

[ashbury]

Yes. On Friday.

That was a rhetorical question.

 

Here's hoping for more than a rhetorical save.

[Nine of twelve]

Just getting on line now. Saw the Twins take the lead in the 7th but I've been busy otherwise. Happy to see a winnah!!!

[glunn]

Nice win, and solid game thread.
