GAME THREAD 4/13/2021: Twins vs. Red Sox, 1:10 CDT

[Diesel]

Perez is still pitching like he did in 2019 I see...

[twinssporto]

 

Sunny and low 80's in Tucson. 

 

Like yesterday.

 

And tomorrow.

It's a dry heat though,,,

[sampleSizeOfOne]

SF!
 

1-0.

[bighat]

Solid out, Polanco. Great job buddy.

Let's get at least one more.

[twinbythebay]

 

I can only partly watch gameday on this one.  How watchable is Happ so far? 

More watchable than Martin Perez! Which, admittedly, isn't saying much...

[wsnydes]

I like runs.

 

Not to be confused with "the" runs...

[MMMordabito]

OK, Team ... See what Polanco just did right there?  Remember that in the 10th with a guy on 3rd and less than two outs.

[bighat]

I do not miss watching Perez do this in a Twins uniform.

 

He'll probably escape this inning with a 1-0 lead, the Red Sox fans will feel hopeful, only to repeat the same act the next two innings before getting lifted.

[USAFChief]

That's the disappointing Sano...88 down the middle, on a 3-1 count...barely foul tips it.

 

 

[Cap'n Piranha]

This bodes well.  Perez will have to pitch to Luis, or Arraez will happily take the RBI walk.

[Cap'n Piranha]

I swear this team scores 70% of its runs on homers and outs.  For crying out loud.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Glad Arraez beat the relay. Gidp woulda been disappointing.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

... For crying out loud.

Bolded for emphasis...

Awfully optimistic of you to assume that they moved the runner over to third... Have they even done that in any of the three extra innings?

[HawksNest]

Twins, thank God, scored 2 runs that inning....but pretty concerning that they loaded the bases with zero outs and didn't actually get a base hit outside of the lead off man. 

 

Gotta convert more on those opportunities! Let's drive some runs in!

[USAFChief]

 

Awfully optimistic of you to assume that they moved the runner over to third... Have they even done that in any of the three extra innings?

Yes.

 

They even got a single to the outfield, from the first hitter in the 10th, and didn't score.

[USAFChief]

Over/under on swinging strikes induced by Happ today:

 

4.5.

 

I got the under.

[Cap'n Piranha]

So far I am not a fan of the Happ-ening.

Under.

 

Who has more swinging strikes: Sano or Happ?

They’re called productive outs.

[cHawk]

 

Under.

I'll take the over!  He's already at 4!

 

(If you include foul balls with less than 2 strikes, which after all, is a strike recorded on a swing  )

[Cap'n Piranha]

Nice play Regadero!!!

[Diesel]

Heck of a play Arraez!

[USAFChief]

Nice scoop, Tortuga.

[cHawk]

If Happ can’t get through the 5th then I’m a bit concerned

[sampleSizeOfOne]

If that had been hit just a wee bit harder...

 

(tailor made triple play)

[Cap'n Piranha]

There's swinging strike 5!  Give me your money Chief!!!

[cHawk]

Like if you think the bullpen will $*** the bed again, quote if you don’t.
