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

[operation mindcrime]

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????

I wondered about that too! The cardboard probably can't have his M&Ms and Nascar sponsors!

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

Sano. Not close. 

[LVTwinsfan]

So if a pitcher comes in with 2 outs and faces one batter you can change him. If you let him start the next inning can you pull him after one batter?

[USAFChief]

On the record: great decision by Baldelli not to try to squeeze another inning from Berrios.

[bighat]

Attaboy May, let's see some more zeros 'pen.

[Mill1634]

Romo for the 6th? 3 RH batters

[twins_89]

May is a guy I'd like to see the Twins extend before he hits free agency. 

[wabene]

Lurch is looking good

PSA: Kepler is no longer on pace for infinity home runs.

[howeda7]

Ugh. Hill scratched from tomorrow's start. Not a good sign.

Chief simulation level: novice.

I initially assumed it was your joke before I saw the poster name, but yes, not really curmudgeonly enough to truly capture your style.

[Shaitan]

 

Trevor May in for the 5 inning save opportunity.

These new 2020-only stats are weird.

FTFY

Give Ash a few years ... he'll get to curmudgeonly

Dunno. That would mean a remarkable change for the better.

Any other news there? You know why?

[bighat]

Bad start for Clippard.

Odorizzi and Hill both scratched while Bailey looked rough in his last pre-season start. The rotation is starting to worry me.

[ashbury]

I debated whether to even post, given no intention to stay up until midnight for this level of play. Glad to see the real Chief is here so that simulation is no longer necessary.

 

Game pitching simulation level tonight: AAAA.

 

G'night.

[howeda7]

Clippard needs to throw strikes.

Tweet from the MLB writer. Dobnak starting. No word on why.

It's cool. We'll make up the games in July...

You done good, ash...staying up so late at your age.

[operation mindcrime]

Way to go Clippard!

[howeda7]

Is there any proof that Clippard and Romo aren't the same pitcher?

[howeda7]

Speculation Hill's issue might be a blister. I guess that would be the best-case scenario. 

[operation mindcrime]

Nice hit Jorge!

[USAFChief]

Is there any proof that Clippard and Romo aren't the same pitcher?

Come to think of it... ever seen both of them on the mound at the same time?

Can't tell if you won or lost the debate, but i'glad ya posted it.

 

Maybe Chief is like Beetlejuice and won't show up until he's mentioned 3 times...
