Game Thread: Twins @ White Sox 5:10 PM PST (7:10 PM CDT) 6/28/2019

[MVP Nick Punto]

You know, 6 outs used to seem like plenty to make up a 2-run deficit. At least Kip gets us off on the right foot (as opposed to the left). Now, please, no DP.

[Riverbrian]

 

I honestly don't wanna hear the "well they were tired from 18 innings yesterday" excuse. Offense didn't show up tonight and they didn't show up yesterday. No excuses.

 

I used that excuse at work all day today. 

 

I got myself a longer lunch break than normal. 

 

 

[jkcarew]

Castro has had a tough month.

To be fair, tonight should have been Garver, but 17 innings...

I know! Why does Rocco keep starting Garver in the 17-inning games?!

[LaBombo]

 

Obviously an upgrade from Class B to Class A License . 

 

Or from 'naturally occurring' to 'pharmacological'?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Bummer call on that 2-2 pitch!!

[Soft Tosser]

Ump really squeezed Bum-mer is that Arraez at bat

[jz7233]

Schoop and Castro are two black holes in today's lineup.

I’m so old I can remember when 17-inning games were character builders

[MVP Nick Punto]

I shouldn't get stressed over close hits like that. It's foul if it's foul by an inch or 100 ft

[bighat]

Ugly game for Castro.

[USAFChief]

I pinch hit Garver there. Cant expect Castro to have much chance against a tough lefty there.

[70charger]

Oof

[Riverbrian]

 

Schoop and Castro are two black holes in today's lineup.

 

That'll do er. 

 

Good night all. 

[Danchat]

Castro since June 5th: 42 PAs, 4 hits, 3 walks (.095/.167)

 

Seems like a lot of hitters are slumping at the same time right now.

[jz7233]

As usual I said earlier Castro really has only two style of strikeouts. He either gets strikeout looking at called meatball or gets strikeout swinging at dirt after looking at two called meatballs.

[twinsnorth49]

 Guess Castro didn't want to K three times swinging..

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Wow Berrios out for the 8th

 

Don’t see why not

[TwinsCD]

 

I honestly don't wanna hear the "well they were tired from 18 innings yesterday" excuse. Offense didn't show up tonight and they didn't show up yesterday. No excuses.

 

We all knew that they weren't gonna keep up that crazy HR pace but what's become alarming now that they're not hitting a ton of dingers is that when they need to string together a bunch of hits for a rally, they can't seem to do it.  That's not going to bode well when the end of the season comes around.

[jz7233]

 

Ugly game for Castro.

I have seen plenty of strikeouts from Castro like that. I am not interested in seeing him in Twins uniform next season.

[jz7233]

He looked at a meatball in the zone this time just like last time against KC.

[USAFChief]

I have seen plenty of strikeouts from Castro like that. I am not interested in seeing him in Twins uniform next season.

he's had a tough month, but he's done well this year. Jeez.

 

And again, he shouldn't be in there much agai st LH pitching.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

That'll do er. 

 

Good night all.

 

Don’t go, Riverbrian!

 

Everyone knows there’s only room for one black hole per galaxy

 

[JNess21]

Remember when scoring 6 runs seemed like an off night for this team?

[twinsnorth49]

Chargo the ballo

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I almost feel bad for Palka.

 

 

 

 

 

Almost.

[MVP Nick Punto]

Don’t go, Riverbrian!

 

Everyone knows there’s only room for one black hole per galaxy

 

I believe that's only one /supermassive/ black hole. Do we have any of those?

[mrtwinsfan]

ROCCO ????????

[USAFChief]

Now you take him out?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Eloy Jimenez.

 

Not looking forward to facing this guy the next several years.

[twinsnorth49]

Better get him out before the game gets away from you Rocco...........oh wait.
