GAME THREAD: 7/30/20 Minnesota Twins vs Cleveland Indians, 6:07 CDT

[Aggies7]

Well at least he threw a lot of pitches

[Don Walcott]

Donaldson takes the walk. We score a run. But it's probably Buxton's fault, right?

[Mill1634]

Leaving Littell out there to get through 9-1-2 is certainly interesting, but it would be huge if he can get through it.

[Mill1634]

He is out

[Don Walcott]

Nice tag, Miguel. . . but he's still terrible, right?

[Aggies7]

How could this possibly be taking this long

[Don Walcott]

AJ is hilarious. We should hire him.

[IndianaTwin]

That took way longer than it needed to. 

[Aggies7]

The fake fans look like they’ve from MVP baseball 2004

[Don Walcott]

 

That took way longer than it needed to. 

But at least they got it right.

[Mill1634]

I had fairly high goals for Littell coming into the year, but his first outing, coupled with this one, have not been promising.

[Aggies7]

Littell’ing on the edge

Maybe the ALDS meltdown was a confidence destroyer

The offspeed pitch isn't around the zone at all

[Aggies7]

How did that ball stay in his glove

[bighat]

Bux!

[Don Walcott]

Buxton gets that.

[IndianaTwin]

Buxton’s back!

[Mill1634]

Wasn't pretty at all, but those were 2 huge innings by Littell to keep this one at a 2 score game. Seems as if Rocco is fine throwing the front end of the bullpen with Bieber on the bump for Cleveland, and whatever happens happens. It makes sense, but no guarantee we aren't in the same situation tomorrow

[Darius]

Sloppy play from Garver. He looks terrible.

[Aggies7]

Bad night for blue behind the plate

[bighat]

I fear for any team going up against Cleveland in a 3-game playoff series. Look at what Bieber's doing to the best offense in baseball right now and he's making it look easy.

Yep. I'm betting on them to get out of the 1st round, maybe more confident than any other team in the entire league.

And that’s what scares me about our team especially berrios is going to be iffy.

Looks awful at the plate this year too. Garver, Donaldson and Sano haven't really done anything in the first 7 games. Whether that's good or bad is depending on whether or not the glass is half full or half empty.

[Mill1634]

Well, at least Bieber won't be able to complete the entire game. 

[Aggies7]

He should except for the timing of it. We aren’t close to solving him

[Mill1634]

He's at 90 pitches, threw 97 in his first outing. Maybe they give him a chance in the 8th, but I would be surprised if he goes deeper than 105

[twinkies8791]

don't think the top of the 8th will be good for Thorpe

[Aggies7]

Was really hoping Cleveland wouldn’t be a big factor this year but it appears they will be
