Cardinals and Oakland also off tonight. This has happened a couple times this year for whatever reason, I remember a few teams not playing on a Friday in late June as well.

I just tread something about this and the home team can opt for this schedule. Most don’t, Friday’s tend to be good days at the gate.

Did Bert say "home run number 211"? 

 

Because Cruz has like 390 or so. Am I the only one who heard that?

I believe he was referencing the Twins' 2019 team total.

Ball is bouncing our way tonight!  Should be an error, after looking at it. Bad play by Gordon there.

Come on play Buxton and let Garver play 1B! This would be a strong lineup! Sit Gonzalez and Adrianza.

It was reported by several people that Buxton was scratched with a sore shoulder.

Ball's in Gordon's glove and drops out and they give Kepler a double.  Not how I'd have scored it.

It was certainly not an easy catch but I'm sure Gordon will say that it was catchable by his standards.

Polanco has been striking out a lot lately on pitches outside the zone. Does anyone remember if that was his problem the year that he had that long slump?

Polanco's had a chilly week. There were some pitches in his last AB there that earlier in the season he'd be mashing.

Love Arraez's aggressive nature on the base paths. Make them make a throw!

I find it interesting that aggressive base running now only occurs when the ball is in play but it’s the new norm, while stolen bases are way down league wide.

I know scorers go by the rule of 'extraordinary effort' when deciding between hits and errors but that ball was chest high even with the dive and it was in the glove.  Sort of like when a pop up is allowed to hit the ground because of miscommunication and they award a hit instead of giving someone an error -- annoying.

He’s been chilly since the All-Star break. He needs a couple games off

Johan Santana, all time Twins great, nice to hear him in the booth. Sounds like he's doing well and it's cool he came back to celebrate Nathan's Twins HOF induction.

Cruz gonna make it pretty tempting for the FO to pick up that option

Cruz will absolutely be back. Beyond 2020 will be a wait and see.

 

He is a good karma...much delayed...return gift for David Ortiz.
