Game Thread: 9/2/2020 Minnesota Twins vs Chicago White Sox, 7:10 CDT

[TwinsCD]

Woohoo...clutch hitting!!!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Rain in the forecast?

Yes.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Think the team missed Buxton and Donaldson much?

[MMMordabito]

The way this is going, I expect a no-hitter from Odo, when he comes off the IL.

[CTTwin]

Kepler scored running like he just pulled a hamstring or calf.

Yes

[wabene]

Glad to see Donaldson's bilateral leg weakness has come full circle

[ashbury]

Can the return of Matt Capps, in peak form, be far off?

 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Well, at least the ump is consistently bad.

[FlauerPauer]

We're not even out of the second inning and this game has already eclipsed an hour.

[ashbury]

So is the spammer who just posted, hint hint.

 

[ashbury]

We're not even out of the second inning and this game has already eclipsed an hour.

Not the plate umpire's fault, he's calling strikes like he has to get back to the office or something.

 

[FlauerPauer]

Rats. Hamstring injury.

[TwinsCD]

Just can't stay healthy.  Bux and Donaldson back and now Kep is down.  Come on back across the river, Lamont.

[ashbury]

Kepler scored running like he just pulled a hamstring or calf.

You called that one. Can't click Like, of course.

FFS Arraez, little leaguers make those plays.

In fairness, Arraez probably would have made the play on a 60-foot basepath, same as them.

 

[Danchat]

If Kepler's hitting the IL, it's time to bring up one of the OF prospects.

Play through it...

 

Make it not matter.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Setting up the infield fly rule...

[USAFChief]

Way too many of Berrios pitches are either center cut, or misses.

[TwinsCD]

And now the wildly inconsistent Berrios that we've gotten used to has arrived.  STOP NIBBLING!

[CTTwin]

Cruz has had a lot of at bats lately where he just doesn't seem to be seeing the ball well. I'm not in love with the big out to in shift of his front foot as pitch is thrown. Anyone else feel it's a bit exaggerated?

[USAFChief]

Every single base runner this inning is the direct result of the Twins, not the WS.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Share and share alike with the fielding miscues...

[ashbury]

Way too many of Berrios pitches are either center cut, or misses.

I thought he was better, in the first inning or two. But, yeah.

 

[ashbury]

Share and share alike with the fielding miscues...

NO !

[wabene]

Yes!!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Out of that half inning. Couldn't come quick enough...

 

Been wondering, what with the extra inning rules, can a good 2nd base pick off play become a game changer?
