GAME THREAD: 9/15/20, Minnesota Twins @ Chicago White Sox, 7:10 CDT

[USAFChief]

Play the infield back and try to get the DP. Give up one run.

[USAFChief]

How could McCann NOT hit that meatball?

[Aggies7]

So cross off dobnak’s name from the list of those we trust in postseason play. Ain’t lookin too good

[Aggies7]

How is there no one warming

[Aggies7]

Sigh

[MNT1996]

Dobnak pitching himself out of being a potential playoff starter

[USAFChief]

What a GODAWFUL pitch. Robert will literally swing at anything.

[USAFChief]

Sox are embarrassing the Twins.

[Danchat]

It seems like Dobnak's regression started right when that one article was published here on the same topic, and now it's in full effect... 

[Aggies7]

Sox looking like the better club so far. Marginally.

[Aggies7]

 

Sox are embarrassing the Twins.

Not sure if there was anyone on the Sox saying this series wasn’t really a big deal before it started. I know we had one 

[Aggies7]

Just stole third without even a look. I’ll go do the dishes

[MNT1996]

 

Sox looking like the better club so far. Marginally.

 

Even more than marginally in my opinion. Their offense is clearly better, and starters and relievers for them have pitched better so far. 

[USAFChief]

They look like it matters to them.

[TwinsCD]

Time to hand it over to the bullpen.  But since Rocco still can't recognize these things, he'll trot Dobnak back out there for the 4th.

[Aggies7]

It should matter to everyone. Why the F would you not want to have home field advantage (or bat last in the bubble)?

[USAFChief]

We're getting the Yankees, round one, just so everybody knows.

 

Unless we manage to fall into third in the ALC.

[70charger]

Somewhat underwhelmed by Donaldson.

Leadoff walk isn’t the ideal start

Somewhat underwhelmed by Dobnak.

 

Hes been as expected

Excellent positioning by the Twins infield again, compounded by a silly throw.

This is gonna be bad.

Two pages of this.

 

None of this adds anything. It's all mindless bitching.

 

Do you two realize that this kind of **** is why game threads are so ****ing dead now? We used to have fifty pages a night.

 

I've tried. I really have. But I am so ****ing done with this. 

[blindeke]

Dobnak deserves better than this scoreline though. Fewer than half the hits were hit very hard.

[USAFChief]

I concur, wholeheartedly, but we have plenty here who insist it doesn't matter.

[MNT1996]

 

Time to hand it over to the bullpen.  But since Rocco still can't recognize these things, he'll trot Dobnak back out there for the 4th.

 

I think Rocco will recognize it. The problem is that he's probably going to trot Smeltzer out there, which will be just as bad.

[MNT1996]

The ump did not call that for Dobnak. What a joke

[USAFChief]

Adios.

 

BTW..."Play the infield back" is mindless bitching??

Is that why they’re dead? You asked everyone? I remember plenty of dead times in the past. Maybe they don’t come around because they can’t express themselves without being scolded?

[Otto von Ballpark]

I think Rocco will recognize it. The problem is that he's probably going to trot Smeltzer out there, which will be just as bad.

Smeltzer was optioned out for Blankenhorn.

[Channing1964]

Is it just me or....Why wasnt Odorizzi available to start THIS game. I know everyone loves the cult hero Dobnak. Quite frankly he has been trending downward. Everyone with a spread sheet go ahead but i would argue that his successes have been against the "have nots" in the M.L.B. and also...

Is it just me that thinks this is a big series? Having Blankenthorn(in my side) play in a big game like this is a joke. Having him come along for depth is cool but Gonzalez or Adrianza should be out there today. Its no secret I hate losing to any Chicago team but to hand it to them like this is making me sick. Dobber is what he is, a long reliever. Rocco aint gonna like it when the Yankees come to town for the first round. The time to make hay is NOW. These chumps are celebrating like its the World Series....we should give them a pop in the nose. I will shut up now.

[USAFChief]

I think Smeltzer went down when Blankenhorn was recalled.

[blindeke]

Twins will come back and take this game. 

[diehardtwinsfan]

Rosario walked?

I understand that can't see the bitching, because you're one of the biggest ones on this site. It's hard to hang around. I haven't been part of this for 2 years because of it.

 

It's probably because the Twins are good, or fairly good, that the complaints come fast and furious. When they were bad, really bad, we had more fun. Well, anyway.
