ARRAEZ! 

[TouchEmAllGuy]

My math says two hits with RISP this inning!

[bighat]

Attaboy Arraez.

 

Let's tack some on! Great clutch hit buddy.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

We got a lead.

[Diesel]

Sano won’t be credited in the box score, but he got the Twins 2+ runs this inning.

[MMMordabito]

 

Luis is due.

 

Nice call

[MNT1996]

 

We got a lead.

 

Just where the Red Sox want us

[bighat]

 

Looks like the challenge situation broke Gameday.

Yeah, had to get on MLB TV - that thing is still jammed.

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

Bases loaded, they've got us right where they want us.

Hindsight snuck up from behind and surprised us all!

[ashbury]

Arraez, our new Rod Carew!

[MNT1996]

Walk the bases loaded for Cruz. Bold strategy, Cotton. 

[Mike Sixel]

 

Sano won’t be credited in the box score, but he got the Twins 2+ runs this inning.

 

I was just going to post this......showing how runs scored is a very deceiving stat......

[bighat]

What horsecrap - Cruz was HIT!

 

Mets got a win off it, but the Twins don't catch a break!?!?!

[Mill1634]

No way you let Conforto win a game, but not let Cruz do that. 

[KFEY93]

Most animated Iv seen Rocco all season. 

[Diesel]

Cruz trying to pull a Conforto I see

[nicksaviking]

Seems like that might not be a call they make against the Red Sox.

[KFEY93]

 

Walk the bases loaded for Cruz. Bold strategy, Cotton. 

With two outs. Guaranteed we score no more. 

[ScrapTheNickname]

Cruz obviously stuck out his elbow. Correct call.

[MMMordabito]

It would kill the "10 IN A ROW FOR BEANTOWN" headline

[sampleSizeOfOne]

That is why Boston is called beantown!

 

Always wondered.

[Diesel]

Astudillo what are you doing

[bighat]

If it's the Red Sox batting, they'd get that HBP call every time. East Coast Bias isn't going anywhere, Manfred's made sure his umps fall in line when it comes to Boston and NYC teams.

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

Astudillo what are you doing

His hair is important to him.

[bighat]

Yeah but it's fun to complain about it! That's part of what being a baseball fan is all about!

[KFEY93]

 

Astudillo what are you doing

Being himself. A liability. 

[MMMordabito]

Damnit, Kike.  Leave my pitcher's pitch count alone!

[Mill1634]

I know there is still a chance this start goes off the rails, but Big Mike has been as consistent of a number 3 starter in all of MLB

He doesn't get enough credit for being a good pitcher. He's not great but he's not expected to be great, either.

[MMMordabito]

I see Kepler wanted to join the sub-Medoza party.
