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

[Blake]

Nothing like Duffey dominating both Detroit and Boston.

[PDX Twin]

The tortuga got us the lead. How about the emu for some insurance?

[twins_89]

The emergence of Duffey and May has really saved the bullpen.

[VATwinsFan]

Not that watching them is good for my heart, but seeing the Twins compete in one run games is a good thing to see in September.

[Blake]

 

Astudillo took 4 straight pitches...

 

[FLTwinsGuy]

Romo facing 1-2-3 shall be interesting

[wabene]

One of these free passes has got to pay.

[yarnivek1972]

Paging Ian Miller

[FLTwinsGuy]

Anyone know if marwin is going to be back sometime this century?

[yarnivek1972]

Why is Miller not in for Garver????

[LVTwinsfan]

Romo facing 1-2-3 shall be interesting

rogers for the third hitter?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Nice hustle Cave!

 

 

Buxton sighting!!!

[PDX Twin]

Buxton's faster!

[twins_89]

Sano and Garver have combined for 6 walks. It seems like the strategy is to avoid throwing them strikes and make Cave, Cron, and Schoop beat them (which they haven't been able to do). Luckily Astudillo came to the rescue.

[wabene]

I think I just witnessed a prudent dive into first.

[Nine of twelve]

Buxton in to pinch run. Do we put him in the outfield in the bottom of the inning? If so who comes out? Can Rosario still play 2B like he did in the minors way back when?

[FLTwinsGuy]

Ughhh

[PDX Twin]

Sure glad that we pinch-ran.

[John Kelsey]

****ing Cron

[ashbury]

It's rare I question any major leaguer's dedication. The injury he got takes time to recover. Fortunately in September we have others to step in.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

In my opinion, all dives into first are prudent

 

(just don’t jam a finger)

[yarnivek1972]

Cron kinda is a high GDP threat.

[wabene]

El Matador!!

[VATwinsFan]

Easy 1-2-3 for Romo or a Fernando Rodney experience?

[John Kelsey]

And here comes the only guy with a hit tonight, who singlehandedly won the game last night. 

 

What could go wrong?????

Why not take Sano out? Odds are his spot doesn’t come up again.

[twins_89]

I think the Twins really need to start pitch hitting for Cron in any clutch type of at bat. He has been brutally bad at delivering when it counts.

Weren’t a lot of choices left.

And move Arraez to 3rd with Adrianza at ss.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Romo for the righties, Rogers for the lefty.

 

Atta boy, Rocco.
