Happy Birthday, Nelson Cruz!

I don't care which one it is, just keep it goin'!

I often think, "hey it's a new unit of time (year, month, game) maybe i can do
something different this time...

So rather than tryin' to overthink a clever introduction (or underthink it,
as the case may be) i'm just gonna roll with whatever comes to mind...

Of late, we typically have had trouble against lefties?

Let's change that...

Twins:
0. Jose Berrios (R) P
1. Jorge Polanco (S) 2B
2. Josh Donaldson (R) 3B
3. Nelson Cruz (R) DH
4. Trevor Larnach (L) LF
5. Ryan Jeffers (R) C
6. Miguel Sano (R) 1B
7. Alex Kirilloff (L) RF
8. Gilberto Celestino (R) CF
9. Andrelton Simmons (R) SS

White Sox:
0. Carlos Rodon (L) P
1. Tim Anderson (R) SS
2. Yoan Moncada (S) 3B
3. Jose Abreu (R) DH
4. Yasmani Grandal (S) 1B
5. Brian Goodwin (L) CF
6. Andrew Vaughn (R) LF
7. Gavin Sheets (L) RF
8. Leury Garcia (S) 2B
9. Zack Collins (L) C

New day, new game.

Oh, and apparently it's in the 70s and sunny.

 

What was it like in the 70s and sunny?

It appears pretty safe to say that if you live on the West Coast, that it was definitely not as hot.

[mrtwinsfan]

Go Twins

[wavedog]

2 errors ( I know only one was credited) and a walk and no runs leaving the bases full.   Can we make this a 7 inning game?  And I generally do not like 7 inning games.

[mrtwinsfan]

Same Sano, think any team would even take him ? guy makes good $$$

 

[wavedog]

Great play by Simmons there!   That was nice.

[stringer bell]

The DP makes up for the two well-placed singles. Nice play by Simba.

This has probably been reported elsewhere, but Shoemaker has been DFA'd! Praise be!

Shoemaker DFA'd?  There's no such thing as July Fools Day, is there?

There is now!

I installed an outdoor TV specifically to watch Twins baseball this season.

Boy, I sure did **** up the timing on that decision.

Don't worry.  You'll have more chances.

[USAFChief]

The difference in pitching the Sox run out compared to the Twins is GD depressing.

Watch from inside.

That gives you a better opportunity to catch all of those moonshots that the pitching staff gives up, though!

Is it any wonder why one is leading the division and the other is sitting at or near the cellar of it?

Depressing indeed.

[USAFChief]

Gladden's comment on injury: "The hand is a long way from the leg."

[wavedog]

That looked painful but not nearly as bad as Naylor's injury.  

[wavedog]

If he stays in the game - start bunting to third.

[wsnydes]

*sigh*

[Aggies7]

beautiful hanging breaking ball on an 0-2 pitch and a 2 run lead seems insurmountable

[USAFChief]

I've said this before, but for me the biggest single disappointment on this team is Berrios.

That's probably unfair, I know, but that's how I feel. I had such high hopes.
