Game Thread Our Twins vs. Red Sox 9/4 7:10 AM HKT (or 9/3 6:10 PM CDT)

[MNT1996]

 

Pretty sure that was a slider....and really wasn't an awful pitch.  

 

Did you see where he hit it? Perfect spot for Devers. 

[mrtwinsfan]

He goes right back to what has gotten him killed all year--  2  strike breaking ball- ??

[LVTwinsfan]

Let’s get some back

[FlauerPauer]

Dammit, Trevor. Wasn't necessarily a terrible pitch. Time to get back with the bats!

[stringer bell]

I know May has been very effective lately, but I haven't seen most of his good outings. Maybe I shouldn't watch when he pitches.

[MNT1996]

Well Twins got old May tonight. Let's not give him a 2nd inning Rocco.

yeah what’s wrong with you

[IndyTwinsFan]

Well, that was less than an enjoyable half-inning.

[FLTwinsGuy]

6 runs wont be enough

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Yeah, folk here were kinda pleased with that homerun.

there’s only 14 guys in the bullpen. No need to stretch anyone out for conservancy

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I was just commenting we were more likely to see Buxton in a close game...

[ashbury]

I've had the same general experience. The times I've seen more emotion from him, he does better. I usually don't want to play the pop-psych game on pro players, but I do have an occasional opinion on the subject.

[PDX Twin]

When was the last game with two pitchers wearing glasses?

[gocgo]

One would think that May would have learned by now...breaking ball gets whacked.

[ashbury]

Man, couldn't have a worse batter-runner to try to leg out that smash to third base, than Cruz.

 

Oh wait, I forgot Cron.

[Darius]

I thought that this series would be a great barometer for the true state of the bullpen.

 

Not a good start for May with another monster home run allowed.

[ashbury]

Yeah, folk here were kinda pleased with that homerun.

Did they show some appreciation for that long bomb by Sano, earlier?

[SwainZag]

Can't lose sleep on a HR from a guy like Devers, kid is a helleva player

[jimbo92107]

Just looking at Sano's shape. The gut is gone! He's back to being lean and mean!

[ashbury]

Practically gaunt.

Was probably also helped out by the weird layout of Fenway. May have been a foul in Target Field.

 

And noooo way that was a 430 ft home run if Sano's was only 460 ft.

[PDX Twin]

Pathetic.

[MNT1996]

7 sliders in that Sano at bat

[LVTwinsfan]

May still out there?????

[LVTwinsfan]

May has never been a guy that performed well under pressure, and the pressure is definitely on him now

[LVTwinsfan]

Lucky strike out... I’m ok with that

[ashbury]

Cleveland now leads Chicago 5-2 going into the eighth.

[SwainZag]

I least give him some credit.  He blew that past JD.

Boooo! Hiss!!  Big 3 run HR by Perez the difference maker
