Game Thread: Twins vs White Sox, 7/24 @ 7:10pm CT - OPENING NIGHT, BABY!

[bighat]

New 3-batter rule, they can't bring in a lefty to face Rosario here.

[howeda7]

I apologize for my ignorance, is the 3 pitcher minimum rule still in effect for 2020 or no?

[howeda7]

Eddie swings at a ball that would have hit him. 

[70charger]

Swung at the first pitch, way off the plate. Shocker.

[bighat]

I'd feel better if Dobnak started the next inning to be honest.

[Killer 3]

Some things never change

Eddie with three swings while not seeing a single pitch in the strike zone.

Look, I'm a fan of his, but the idea that he's clutch is bonkers. He's anti-clutch. The fact that he's good is entirely due to situations where things are pretty normal and he's not all up in his own head.

Fantastic bounce back inning...do we send him for the 5th?

[Killer 3]

Need more of that from Berrios

[sampleSizeOfOne]

A 1-2-3 inning from Berrios!

 

I like...

Pitch count is still low. Maybe he's hitting a stride?

 

I'd guess it depends on who's up next.

[operation mindcrime]

That was a great half inning!

Let's get some insurance runs!!!!

[70charger]

They were gonna give Hawk Harrelson an award at the Hall of Fame? Yikes.

[strumdatjaguar]

Do the White Sox have cut outs of fans in the stands - So where is the guy behind the plate with the annoying bright M&Ms jacket that he wears even during hot day games????

Berrios has thrown a lot of high stress pitches tonight, my guess is that even if he goes back out it will be with an extremely short leash.

Cannot stand that man

Q: Why did Cinderella get cut from the baseball team?

A: She ran away from the ball.

 

[bighat]

Awful strike 1 call on Sano there, for what its worth.

[Shaitan]

2020: more Sano K's or Kepler HR's?

That's on the coach for leaving her in too long.

Followed by two awful semi swings. Sano just doesn't seem fully up to speed yet.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Trevor May in for the 5 inning save opportunity.
