Game Thread: Twins v BoSox Double Header, 4/13/21 at 1:10pm and 4:25pm CT

[Darius]

Nothing like sticking a AAAA player behind Donaldson and Cruz to erase them.

 

Another masterful decision by management.

[wsnydes]

What a terrible AB from Garlic.

 

Awful.

But he's the cleanup hitter!

 

Speaking of which, I need more Scotch.

[Dave The Dastardly]

Anybody notice Boston has one player batting below the Mendoza Line (.200) in the line up while the Twins have three? And one more (Sano) batting below the Sano Line (.100)?

 

Slug fest on tap?

Slug fest on tap?

Definition of "Slug Fest on tap" for Twins fans: Take two slugs of whiskey before pouring yourself another tap beer.

Some slick Berrios fielding there to support his own cause.

[mrtwinsfan]

Hey  Hey  Jose - nice play

Sounds like we should encourage slug festers, as long as the do so responsibly.

 

There is worse festering to be had elsewhere...

 

(Polanco!!)

[mrtwinsfan]

And Hip Hip Jorge

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

Not Buxton

 

I disagree, I really miss Buxton.

Was it Keith David or David Keith in major leauge , Josh Donaldson reminds me of him

 

Yes.

[LVTwinsfan]

It’s not Sanoing today

[wsnydes]

My God Sano...

[USAFChief]

Hey batterbatterbatter suhWING batterbatterbatter

"Trust the process."

[wsnydes]

RISP LOB...

[LVTwinsfan]

I’m ok with a 1-0 win

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Edit, ninja'd by SampleSize

Glad i'm not the only one who misses him.

 

But given the choice of today or the next couple of weeks, i can live without him for a day.

[LVTwinsfan]

Buxton catches that

"Trust the process."

 

Bear me out here, because this is kind of a crazy idea, but....

 

What if we sent Sano down to Single A to see if he can be fixed?

[Mill1634]

Fire up the bullpen...I know he's at 66 pitches and was rolling, but you have to treat this like the 7th inning, not the 5th. 

[USAFChief]

******* shift.

[USAFChief]

Berrios finds it hard to throw with both hands around his neck.

[Aggies7]

this is simply just some bad bad baseball

Sounds like a job for Heimlich...

[LVTwinsfan]

Duffey the umpire slayer

[wsnydes]

Sounds like a job for Heimlich...

Can he hold a late game lead?

 

Or hit with RISP?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

Can he hold a late game lead?

Or hit with RISP?

I don't know.

 

But he keeps people from choking.

[wsnydes]

I don't know.

 

But he keeps people from choking.

That's something they can use too, I think.

[Aggies7]

unreal

[wsnydes]

Fortunate that pitch didn't get deposited in the bullpen...
