GAME THREAD: Twins @ Red Sox, 4/18/22, 10:10 AM CT

I'm going to check out and get some real work done, I'm leaving you all in charge. If the bullpen implodes, you're all accountable.

 

It been fun! Thanks for hanging!

Good call. I'm no longer coaching her, but she's still a very legit runner.

And it's a wrap at 3:29:42. I'm not sure how many times she's finished Boston, but it's a bunch.

I get tired driving that far

I know it's unlikely the Twins will blow it here, but with that leadoff single I'm turning it off!

[big dog]

Over??? It's not over!!! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor???

[LVTwinsfan]

Jax is making me impatient, just end it! 

[Aggies7]

can we get Jax out of there for the love of god

new fan, are ya?

[big dog]

OK, is Pagan still hot?

[Aggies7]

here we go!

[LVTwinsfan]

He should have had somebody up

[Vanimal46]

Jax continues to give up LOUD contact. 

[LVTwinsfan]

I’m sure Jax was told to just throw strikes

[Danchat]

It's crazy how the Red Sox have more hits than we do, yet it's still a 6 run lead. 'Still' being the keyword...

[RickOShea]

Jax can be so bad sometimes, he's been pulled from bullpen sessions

 

[big dog]

Great, JD Martinez is up.

Hard to blame Jax for that one, though- an 8-hopper in a good spot.

[Aggies7]

we make things so much more difficult than they need to be

[wsnydes]

Outs.  Get them.

Demoted to warming up the catcher

[Vanimal46]

Winnah!

[big dog]

Jax had it all the way! Twins win!

[Mill1634]

Twins WIN!

All in all, a split with Boston is acceptable. Have to take at least two from Kansas City with the schedule the rest of the month. Bundy has been very encouraging, Duran is electric despite the few HRs given up this series, and the ABs were really good today, Multi-hit days from Jorge, Correa, and Urshella is fantastic. Kyle Garlick does what he's here to do.

 

Until tomorrow,

Enjoy your chicken!

If Jax had given up  a few more runs, he could have gotten a save. 

 

[LVTwinsfan]

4 game split at Fenway, I would take that with any team in any year

Haha, it doesn’t work that way

[Muppet]

I can never tell between the written and unwritten rules.

Who had Bundy starting the season 2-0?? Well done.
