Game Thread: Twins vs Red Sox, 6/18/19, 7:10 PM

Get real. That was a very tough play and was probably a hit even if he makes the pickup.

In reality Sano should go back to the minors for a bit. He isn’t contributing to this team

[diehardtwinsfan]

1st and 3rd with no outs...

 

 

all the more reason to get these guys home... another hit or two followed by a bomba should make this game fun.

[70charger]

Is there some way for Garver to get caught in a rundown and Cruz to run backwards to home plate? And if so, could we count it as a run?

 

Asking for a friend.

[Aggies7]

You’ve gotta be kidding me

[notoriousgod71]

More splendid base running.

[twinssporto]

 

Ouch, bro.

We're family here. It's all in fun. I've had multiple Chevy's

[Brock Beauchamp]

He's been a 2/3 type for his career. I think him being a 3 going forward is pretty reasonable if he's truly rounding into post TJS form... not a bad deal for your 4th starter.

I think of him as more of a three in the mold of a Garza or Baker. Get him in the right year and he’s a two but generally, not to be relied upon year over year as reliably well above average (or healthy).

 

Whereas I see Berrios as a strong two (and Radke in his prime as well).

 

To each their own.

[DocBauer]

Are you kidding me??!!

[70charger]

Oof.

[Nine of twelve]

Big gaffe. Gotta dive back in.

[Aggies7]

Just simply no excuse. Zero.

[diehardtwinsfan]

so the real question... assuming the O doesn't blow the game open... does Pineda come out for the 7th?

[LVTwinsfan]

Pathetic

[Aggies7]

Twins haven’t looked like a great time in a while. Just saying.

[MNT1996]

Embarrassing

Well, I didn't see THAT coming.

[LVTwinsfan]

You have to hit the dirt there, lazy move by Garver

[adorduan]

Garver WTF?  that was inexcusable.

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

Anyone else feel like Rosario is DUE for a big hit?

 

That's your fault.

Mostly agree. Still think Berrios has real potential be a #1.

[DocBauer]

That's your fault.

Knew I should have stayed out of the thread and just lurked. (Sigh)

[Blake]

On the Garver pickoff: Where was the 3rd base coach? Was he asleep?

[MNT1996]

Random question. Do HBP's count in OBP? 

[Aggies7]

Unless he could have slid for garver, not sure there was much he could help with

[twinssporto]

Not sure Berrios is a number one but I'd bet good money there are at least 26 teams in MLB that would make him their number 1.

Did you miss the selection of stats in my repsonse to your post?  If you don't think Sano is contributing, and needs to go to the minors, than judging by OPS, so do Kepler, Castro, Cron, Buxton, Rosario, Schoop, and Gonzalez, as they ALL have a lower OPS than Sano.

 

Your dislike of Sano is clearly not based in any amount of rationality.

[notoriousgod71]

Loaded for Sano.

 

Who has faith that he even makes contact with a pitch?

[twinssporto]

DRIVE THE BALL SANO!!!!

[LVTwinsfan]

There goes the lead

[DocBauer]

With his work ethic, desire and great stuff, a little more experience, just have a feeling.
