Game Thread "Patience" Twins vs White Sox 6pm cdt 9/17/2019ad

[Aggies7]

You would know

Is this what we’re doing now?

[Bandit34]

 

Who cares?

Just chiming in with this because I cannot recall a team that has gotten so dominated by another Major League team. I'm sure it has happened but it is rather amazing.

Out of all the Twins pitchers this season I think I might be the most impressed with Duffey 

He very badly needed a year like this. Kudos to him for keeping his major league dream alive. Looks like he has a real good chance to be a good reliever for us if he keeps improving!

[LaBombo]

 

Out of curiosity, how many of you joined the game thread after the Sox tied the score?

 

Top of the 5th for me, just before the wheels started coming off.

 

So that wins me, what, the fun-size Baby Ruth bar?  Wouldn't seem fair to get the same prize as Aggies.

Twins hitters have been too aggressive. Marshall has not thrown anything close to the plate.

If Sanó can't launch one, I would like to see him bounce one where the second baseman used to play.

You were here before the game was tied. You also didn’t show up to pile on doom and gloom. You just came to pile on what you usually pile on

[LaBombo]

 

Sox broadcasters really like Duffey.

 

They're a little late, they probably could've had him for almost nothing when he was foundering in July.

[stringer bell]

Yup, that was a swing.

[Squirrel]

Too bad it’s not a realistic expectation for him to hit a home run every at bat

[stringer bell]

Third day in a row for Romo?

[Richie the Rally Goat]

if he can be 80% of what he has been for the last 7 weeks for a full season, he’s a top 10 reliever in baseball.

[Aggies7]

Now romo is hurt? We need to clinch and just chill for a week

[LVTwinsfan]

About the time that the Twins acquired Romo and Dyson their bullpen immediately improved, but not necessarily because of Romo or Dyson

[LaBombo]

Maybe you'll get to see this if the Sox try another bunt down the 3b line.

 

Oh, you were talking about batting, weren't you...

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Now romo is hurt? We need to clinch and just chill for a week

by “now” it’s been a thing since at least 2016

[Squirrel]

The Sox announcers are befuddled.

 

So am I.

[Aggies7]

Gotta wonder why romo is being left in if he has to adjust his delivery due to injury. He does get a K though

[Squirrel]

Sox announcers: psychological warfare pays off

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Out of curiosity, how many of you joined the game thread after the Sox tied the score?

I did.

 

But you know me...

[Squirrel]

Lol ... Sox announcers

[Squirrel]

I did.

But you know me...

Yeah, I don’t think Aggies retrieved his prize so you are welcome to it

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Yeah, I don’t think Aggies retrieved his prize so you are welcome to it

Baby Ruth? No thanks.

[ashbury]

I got back from a meeting and after taking care of a few things I checked the score. We'll probably pull this win out of the hat, but it's working out too difficult.

 

Now I gotta go grab some sleep. Hope our guys win!

I think a bit of it can be indireclty because of the Romo and Dyson acquisitions. Relievers knew that they needed to step up their game or else they would lose their spot. Healthy competition at play. 

[Aggies7]

Yeah, I don’t think Aggies retrieved his prize so you are welcome to it

You’d think a guy with over 10,000 posts here wouldn’t be offered doody for joining a thread late. And you’re a mod

[LVTwinsfan]

yeah I kinda think that too

[Squirrel]

Okay, that was an entertaining inning but in an excruciating kind of way.

 

Sox announcers: he’s pumped up. Congratulations on winning the World Series.

any questions

[stringer bell]

Romo battles through the eighth.
