GAME THREAD: 4/6/21 Minnesota Twins @ Detroit Tigers, 12:10 CDT

Call me crazy, but I liked it better when Arraez was getting on base 5 times a game.

You're crazy.

[USAFChief]

 

I'd go with:

Arraez

Buxton

Cruz

Donaldson

Kepler

Polanco

Sano

Garver/Jeffers

Simmons

Who is this Donaldson guy everyone is putting in the lineup?

[LaBombo]

Bremer dutifully mentions the Tigers' reliever choice turning around the switch-hitting Polanco.

 

I still miss the AM stylings of Herb Carneal reminding us that Tom Kelly prefers to use relievers to turn around dangerous switch hitters in late-and-close situations, followed by the unmistakable crack of a bat sending a Ron Davis fastball into the 14th row of the left field seats.

[TFRazor]

 

Never say never. He's British. They still drive on the wrong side of the road and, instead of just saying something simple like 'And there it is', still say something crazy like "Bob's your uncle!"

I'm not even related to a Bob though....

[Mill1634]

Not a huge fan of using Rogers here. Would prefer to save our strike out arm for the 10th inning, but I understand you have to get there. Still would like to see Colome here and Rogers in the 10th

Someone's itchin' for a bannin'

I would prefer to have Alcala pitch in the 10th. Colome is not a strikeout pitcher.

Well if there is a 10th inning in this game.

Hopefully this guy wearing Buxton's uniform is also healthier than Buxton.

[USAFChief]

Was sorta hoping not to see Cabrera here.

You wouldn't want Colome to strike everyone out and deprive us of the spectacle of his fielding prowess, would you?

[wsnydes]

That'll work.

 

Bring on the stupid extra inning rule!

[TouchEmAllGuy]

Yeah baby!! Nice work Rogers!

[MMMordabito]

Nice turn!

[mrtwinsfan]

Hey i missed Polancos Double , Cmon Mr Cruz, even better Cabrera is now the leadoff guy on 2nd, sure they will P.R.

Yes...

[USAFChief]

Does Day-twah pinch run for Cabrera on 2nd to start the bottom of 10th?

[Brock Beauchamp]

You kinda have to, right?

 

Unless the lead is 2+ runs, then it doesn’t matter.

[wsnydes]

Professional hitters are fun.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Alright Kepler... let's get a hit here.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Garlick running for Cruz.

[TouchEmAllGuy]

Does Garlick have average speed? 

[wsnydes]

 

Does Garlick have average speed? 

Cruz isn't exactly fleet a' foot.

[Puckett34]

 

Does Garlick have average speed? 

I hope it's better than Cruz'

[USAFChief]

Another great AB from Kepler.

[USAFChief]

JHFC. That's why Polanco has to score on the single to right from Cruz.

[TouchEmAllGuy]

wow.

[MNT1996]

That's the 2nd time today. When Polanco reaches 3rd base in the future I think the Twins should just pinch run for him

[mrtwinsfan]

UNREAL, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Danchat]

This reeks of a game we're going to lose. Just burning simple opportunities here.

 

Also, probably should have PH Garlick for Kepler instead of PR'ing him. Kepler's not viable against lefties.
