Game Thread-Braves @ Twins-8/6/19 7:10 PM Central Time

Yikes. Not a great start for Jose. Still plenty of ballgame left.

[Darius]

Well, that got out of hand quickly.

[MNT1996]

Berrios doesn't have it tonight

[MVP Nick Punto]

Does anyone else have Pineda as the starter you have the most confidence in right now?

Not even close.  My nominee is on the mound right now.

No.

[Darius]

Need to answer with a bomba here.

[Danchat]

It seems like it's been since the Yankees series the Twins have been down by more than 3 runs...

[Richie the Rally Goat]

I have Pineda number 2

[MNT1996]

Cruz tied with Polanco for the Twins highest BA now. I'd call him the Twins Co-MVP with Kepler right now.

[MNT1996]

Really needed to score there

Eddie "I swing for the fences with men on base and don't just take what the pitcher gives me and, hey, maybe get a single" Rosario.

Yeah it seems like he's swinging for a homerun everytime up. Getting a lot of pop ups recently.

[jz7233]

Berrios is perhaps a solid #2 pitcher, he is not an ace.

[SwainZag]

Sano charged with the error? Hmmm... That's on CJ...imo.

[MNT1996]

Take away Buxton and the Twins really are a below average defensive team

[70charger]

A little tricky by Gonzalez snaggin' that ball backwards between his legs, but can't argue with the results.

[TwinsCD]

Great throw, Marwin.  You saved Sano/Cron's butts on that one.

[obtusebanter]

Gonzo got that gun.

*checks tomorrow’s pitching matchup*

 

*cries*

[TwinsCD]

Big difference from last nite -- Acuna & Albies are doing their damage at the top of the lineup.  Odorizzi was able to neutralize that and those guys are such a giant part of what the Braves do.

At least you won't have to watch since you seem to already know what's going to happen.

[bighat]

Berrios not at his best tonight, but in all seriousness he's still great and the best pitcher we've got. It's an off night for him and the Braves seemingly came ready to hit tonight. Twins on the other hand, can't do much against an AAA guy whose career is teetering on the edge of a cliff.

[Aggies7]

Berrios not very interested in holding runners close, it seems

[jz7233]

Twins hitters can't figure out Braves' pitcher while Braves hitters are taking batting practice against Twins' pitcher.

[Aggies7]

At least you won't have to watch since you seem to already know what's going to happen.

Lighten up, Francis, ‘‘twas Just a joke

[Darius]

Yeah, losing this pitching matchup is something that shouldn’t happen. Gotta have these, especially at home.

Maybe tomorrow’s mismatch will work in our favor

[Aggies7]

Donaldson, always crying about something
