Game Thread: Twins @ Red Sox, 9/5/19 @ 6:10 CT

When Polanco gets back in the lineup Arraez needs to lead off and Kepler dropped down between Cruz and Sano or Miguel is never going to see another pitch to hit.

Red Sox ready for another double play and I assume Cave will oblige.

 

No double play this time.  Cave fooled them with strike out.

Umm... Fenway Park is oddly shaped because it had to be crammed into the space available to build in. They didn't have much space because Rhode Island isn't far away.

 

Yeah, the Pawtucket Red Sox own the territorial rights beyond the right field line. The parent club doesn't want one of their guys winning a game in the International League by mistake.

I would have just blamed Rocco

 

 

(Baldelli being from Rhode Island, as a matter of fact)

But not oblige obligingly, we hope ...

2-1, look gas Jake.

How many swings and misses for the Twins tonight? Seems like a lot.

[yarnivek1972]

Need a pick me up from CJ here.

[PDX Twin]

If Cron hits one off the monster, does he beat the throw to first?

I count 11.

6 walks in two innings. Awfully hard to come up with zero runs

I thought walks were supposed to cost a team.

[Blake]

Playoff baseball in September. 

 

Woot!

[yarnivek1972]

With these guys on base, a gapper ensures that one will score.

[Aggies7]

Thought he might get thrown out at first there lol

[ashbury]

Willians is a good guy to have up there when the pitcher has to throw strikes.

[VATwinsFan]
