GAME THREAD 8/24/2020: Minnesota Twins @ Cleveland Indians 6:10 CDT

... and a likely shorty from Hill tomorrow. Someone will have to wear one at some point. Of course, losing 9-0 to Bieber is the same as 1-0.

They should have a lot of guys ready to pitch tomorrow (Alcala, Smeltzer, Poppen,Wisler, Duffey), but they're short today. May is in now, Romo and Rogers will probably pitch today if the Twins have the lead, but then they probably couldn't pitch tomorrow.

I do not understand Rocco's love affair with Ehire

modern love

[LVTwinsfan]

Great pitch to get Ramirez

[SS MagicMark]

Rosie's doing a nice job cutting off the extra bases tonight.

[Sielk]

That's a lot of hard contact May has allowed so far.

[USAFChief]

Don't give in to Reyes

[Nine of twelve]

Why is Reyes wearing that thing around his mouth? It does no good to wear a mask if it doesn't cover your nose. He shouldn't even bother.

[stringer bell]

Too bad on the Santana at-bat, but May has gotten away with some bad pitches. 

[MNT1996]

6 more outs

[LVTwinsfan]

Maybe we could score some

[blindeke]

Karinchak is the one with the 1,000 strikeouts per nine innings in the minors, correct?

[jimbo92107]

May wasn't doing his semi-Japanese hesitation. Result: too high in the zone. He got lucky that Cleveland was in an aggressive mood. They pretty much got themselves out. 

[Aggies7]

Where are all these stud bullpen arms coming from? Sheesh. And they all look like nerds. This guy fidgets like a nervous nelly

[MNT1996]

Does Cleveland just have a never ending supply of great pitchers or something? I swear every year they have a couple that come up to the big leagues and just dominate

Eh... they have a real tough time developing position players.

[Aggies7]

We had the barista from Kansas City throwing 100 and now the spaz from Cleveland mowing us down

 

Lol that was a 55 footer in the other box that Miguel swung at

Yes this is the one. Geezuz.

[shortround81]

Karnichuk and his gross puberty mustache.

[jun]

This kid is going to a future closer for the Indians.

[Aggies7]

That’s not an ideal start

[IndianaTwin]

With his eighth straight game with an extra-base hit, Sano joins Nos. 3 and 6 in doing so. 

[FlauerPauer]

Twins are going to lose this game.

[jun]

Rogers in the 9th? It's going to be tough.

[Aggies7]

Rogers in the 9th? It's going to be tough.

I like your optimism

[Sielk]

We are hearing way too many sharp cracks of Indians bats.

[Aggies7]

Just so hard to fill 4 innings every night

[LVTwinsfan]

Romos annoying me

[LVTwinsfan]

Just so hard to fill 4 innings every night

yep, stretch out the starters, Maeda could have gone one more

[Vanimal46]

Thanks for following the unwritten rules and taking 2 pitches right down Broadway, Perez.

[Aggies7]

Rabbit foot romo
