Game Thread: Twins vs White Sox, 8/20, @ 7:10 CT

[Linus]

Cruz is the best role model Sano could have. Hope he is paying attention

[twinssporto]

This is such a nasty lineup. Impressive.  When does Buxton return?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Baseball, oblong.

[LaBombo]

 

Father Time appears to have passed on the House of Cruz.

 

And also Daryl's House... that guy looks amazing for 73.

[DocBauer]

Oh well...another run scored.

My new username.

My fee is just a beer.

This Cruz guy needs some kind of nickname for how good he is with the bat. 

any suggestions?

 

The guys in his car club just call him The Cruzer... because he likes fast cars and fast balls.

ARRAEZ!!!!!!!!

[twinssporto]

I'm glad we have a 2nd baseman ready for next year.  Arreaz is awesome. 

[DiscGolfer]

Actually Arraez needs a nickname for how good he's been.

[notoriousgod71]

First stolen base since buxton got hurt?

OK, we'll make it a Yuengling. Because that's... just... a beer.

Just did a peruse of baseball-reference.com and saw that we are the only team in the AL with five guys who’ve made 15 starts for the team and have an ERA+ over 100.

 

(The “for the team” is because Greinke gives the Astros five.)

[notoriousgod71]

Cron's game has some obvious flaws but I enjoy that he looks like he expects to get a hit every time up and is visibly upset when he doesn't.

[ashbury]

Those who have remarked that this team is too dependent on the longball, I hope are watching and enjoying this game.

ohh he's the boomstick guy, I like him.

Hey, Cruz’s ruptured tendon, welcome to TD.

 

Oh, wait...

[DiscGolfer]

Bases loaded numbers are improving after this game.

[DocBauer]

And Cron should be platooned why? Oh yeah, because he was a little rusty when he came back.

 

Pfft!

[operation mindcrime]

KEPLER!!!!!!!!!

[Mill1634]

POLANCO POUNDED!!!!!!

Your new name makes me laugh.  Love it!  If Buxton comes back I'm changing my name to Buxton's broken shoulder.

[DocBauer]

I'd seriously consider calling Cruz the BOOMINATOR

[IndianaTwin]

Please, please, Rocco, can I hit next?!?!?!?
