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

[MVP Nick Punto]

Heckuva heads up play by Astudillo there.

 

Nick Punto would be proud!

I am ☺️

[cHawk]

 

 

It was just a joke.

 

 

[Aggies7]

this needs to be the inning

[MMMordabito]

15 pitches, 6 outs ... I'll take it!

[MMMordabito]

Need a Buck-Jack

[Danchat]

That's more of what I thought Dobnak was going to bring. I'd prefer him in the rotation over Happ, but we're paying him $8M...

[Doctor Gast]

Let's go Kepler

[bighat]

Nice walk Max.

[Aggies7]

can someone get a big hit sheesh

[USAFChief]

Heckuva catch by Bogaerts. Not 1 in 100 weekend softball players make that catch.

[Diesel]

These Woos have got to stop

[USAFChief]

Good AB from Polanco at least. Unfortunate.

[MVP Nick Punto]

Can't really knock Polanco today. Just not getting results commensurate to the contact he's making.

[USAFChief]

ruh roh

[bighat]

Gotta hand it to the Sox - they know the Twins aren't going to score so they keep trying.

 

Leadoff double.

 

Game over.

[Aggies7]

too many auto outs in the lineup

[USAFChief]

I don't like Dobnak, never have.

[bighat]

Looking like a 4-2 loss at minimum here.

[Aggies7]

why are we trying to get three innings out of dobnak right now

[jun]

A late batting practice time for Boston.

[HawksNest]

Well, that should do it since the Twins aren't legally allowed to score after the 3rd inning.

[cHawk]

I didn't know Mike McCarthy was managing this team.

[bighat]

 

 

I don't like Dobnak, never have.

 

I've liked him in the past.

 

Right now he looks like a guy throwing 90 MPH right down the middle. Not really fooling anyone.

[Aggies7]

 

I don't like Dobnak, never have.

yep, "good story" is usually reserved for average at best players

[USAFChief]

Could've knocked Perez out in the first, get only two, then squat.

 

 

[KFEY93]

What else is new? Whens the last time they got more than a run or two out of a bases loaded situation? 2019? 

[bighat]

This is what happens when Martin Perez gives you a chance to score 7 runs in the 1st, and you say "no thanks".

 

Not going to get much easier than Perez as far as starting pitchers go.

 

Sure would be nice to have Donaldson in the Twins lineup.

[Aggies7]

there's nobody warming for some unknown reason

[Danchat]

Usually giving up 3 runs over 8 innings wouldn't be a big deal, but when the lineup is this punchless, the margin for error is razor thin for our pitchers.

 

Also, just looked at the lineup again, where is Cruz? We need him badly.
