Game Thread: White Sox @ Twins 6/7 @ 10:10 am PT (12:10pm CT)

[Blake]

The Sox are just now cranking up the bullpen?

[Oldgoat_MN]

This is fun.

The Twins should do this kind of thing more often!

[Don Walcott]

Rosario just couldn't let Esco be the offense's hero again. . . so selfish.

[nicksaviking]

 

It's nice to be on this side of walking the 9-hole hitter

 

Yeah, can't give the pitcher a free pass.

 

Edit: Sorry, I was just looking at the OPS of both team's #9 hitter, I thought this was an NL game. My mistake.

[nicksaviking]

 

James Shields has great body language! He just looks so happy to be out there

 

Yeah, he's probably right this moment realizing that he's blowing his best shot at getting traded away from the White Sox.

[FunnyPenguin]

Darn there went the no no

[Blake]

I see the Sox third base coach has been watching Glynn and Adrianza.

 

Evidently, he didn't realize it was a lesson in how NOT to send a runner.

Are we done now with the "get rid of Rosario" stuff? I hope so. Best player on the team. 

 

I didn't predict Esco's surge, but I knew Rosie was gold. Not just his hitting hands and his arm, but also his total gamer attitude. I kind of wish they'd kept Rosario in the infield - he's a guy that would pull hidden ball tricks. 

[Don Walcott]

I'm at work, so I can't see the plays. How was Rosario's throw to home?

Pretty much perfect.

I can't remember much "get rid of him" of late ... There has definitely been some saying that it's buying high to offer an extension right now

Agreed, he just needs to clean up the mental errors. That's the only quarrel that I have with him at this point.

[wsnydes]

That was a waste of 5 minutes.

It stayed in the ballpark.

You need the IT department I have.

[slash129]

Who is this Narvaez, that he thinks he can run on the mighty arm of Grossman?

[Blake]

Sox must have non-refundable tickets because they certainly seem anxious to give away outs and go home.

Hit Wilson in the chest and he had to wait a second for the runner to get there.

[FunnyPenguin]

Wow, he owned Abreau

[gocgo]

Going for the CG!

[John Kelsey]

Berrios does not look tired one bit. 

[Puckett34]

Helluva game by Berrios

[John Kelsey]

Tip of the cap to Jose, great game by him. 

[slash129]

Way to go, Berrios!! Save the pen for the Angels!

[Blake]

 

[wavedog]

Jose going old school and pitching a complete game - great job and nice to see for a change!  

[gil4]

 

Garver and Wilson in the same lineup?!

 

See, I'm torn about that because I really hate the illogical fear of losing the DH spot. "Oh no, there's a 1 in 200 chance the pitcher will have to get an at bat!"

 

On the other hand, we're talking about Garver and Wilson, not Mauer and Redmond.

It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to have a pitcher pinch-hit for the catcher and then have Garver go behind the plate.

[Blake]

Way to go, Mr. Berrios!

[FunnyPenguin]

At least part of our young core is clicking!  Berrios and Rosario are some killer young players

[Blake]

One word: Molitor.
