Game Thread: Twins vs. White Sox, 9/1/20 @ 7:10PM CT

So uh, Wisler for the 9th?

[MVP Nick Punto]

Pretty sure you can always judge them.

 

You're just a lot more likely to be wrong.

You've seen me looking at book covers, eh?

[IndianaTwin]

Umpire seems to be generous side-to-side, but not up-and-down. 

[Crackedfungo]

Who knows.  I just don't think Rogers deserves another opportunity to lose a close one for awhile. Wisler is not intimidating to me, but at least he has produced this year.

[Crackedfungo]

I'll bet Romo has some spiders or last weeks food in that beard.  He might also be the guy in the clubhouse that is beyond odd.  RPs topping out at 85 gotta have something, and he clearly has a lot of junk

I don't think so.

 

But i'm all ears.

 

Any book covers ya recommend?

You called it. 

[howeda7]

Wisler. Really Rocco? Duffey can't go back to back either? 

[ashbury]

You're just a lot more likely to be wrong.

Than whom?

Haven't been reading much lately. If you like sci-fi, you probably already know Peter F. Hamilton, but if not, I like him. Also, if you're looking for short story sci-fi, HFY on imgur (40 posts worth, I think?) is always good: https://m.imgur.com/gallery/w3nA4

[Mill1634]

Alright Wisler, slide the door shut

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

Than whom?
 

Than yourself judging after the trade has played out.

 

(Did i get the context right? it was spread out over a few posts)

Actually looks interesting!

 

Though at a glance, i don't see any book covers there...

 

My query also prompted me to think what book covers i would recommend...

 

Still thinking, though obviously i chose a book cover as an avatar when i joined this cite.

 

Kids book, but i still really like that book cover.  Book's not too bad either...

[Mill1634]

Wow, great play by Ehire and Sano. Other than the mental lapses at 1st, Sano has been very good

[ashbury]

Survived a mistake pitch, there. C'mon Wisler.

[Mill1634]

Wisler just made Robert look silly on three straight sliders

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Nicely done, Adrianza!

Concur.

 

(beats getting ninja'd)

[IndianaTwin]

So, in northern Indiana, the only games I get to watch are against the Sox. But from I’ve seen, I think Sano has the potential to be a pretty good first baseman. Most of the mistakes that I’ve seen so far, such as ranging too far in the first inning, seem to be from not having enough experience at the bag. Conversely, I’ve seen some very good scoops. 

[ashbury]

None of our third basemen make that play except Ay-Ray, do they?

[ashbury]

[IndianaTwin]

I’ll say it again. Welcome back, Byron. Welcome back, Big Mike. 

 

And we’ll see you tomorrow night, Josh. 

[Aggies7]

New closer alert

[LVTwinsfan]

Finally!

[Mill1634]

TWINS WIN!!!!!!

 

Haven't been able to say that in a while, and it feels great to say it again. Pineda, was really, really good, and the "B" relievers were good too. Holding this lineup to a 2 spot is not a small feat. The lineup still wasn't great, but Buxton looked good on both sides of the ball. Getting Donaldson back tomorrow will be big. Loved the buttons Rocco pushed tonight. 

 

Until tomorrow,

 

Go Twins!!!

[Danchat]

Can't remember the last time a DFA pickup got a save situation a month into the season... and looked pretty good! 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

A lot as happened since the last win, eh?

[twinssporto]

I told you guys I’d will us a win! Buxton for the pick to click too. His catch put him over Cruz.

 

I love killing losing streaks. Please send payments to my Vimeo account.

Now that, sir, is a fine book cover!

You’re on for tomorrow night, right?

And while i'm lacking real book cover recommendations, False Colours by Richard Powell has one of my favorite dust jackets ever.
