GAME THREAD: Twins @ White Sox, 7/5/22, 7:10 PM CT

[RickOShea]

I think his name is pronounced wine-der, but the guys in the locker room, changed it to Win-der.  I have no clue, why?

[h2oface]

Through the toughest 4 of the order 3 times, only 77 pitches, and the young man is pulled from the game, and the Twins bullpen adventure is coming in adding to innings.

Top 3 of our order is on vacation tonight.

[Mill1634]

another successful outing from Winder. 

[Vanimal46]

The sky is orange in the Twin Cities. Strange sight to see. 

[RickOShea]

Rocco amazes me at his moves and reasoning.  The goal is to WIN, WIN, WIN, WIN, ETC. at this level.  He's not being paid, to build  warm fuzzies,  and unicorn droppings.  Players love him, until the end of the season when they're watching the playoffs at home with their Twins' onesies on.

you are aware we are up 6-2 right?

[Squirrel]

Okay, get in the bottom half of this inning and then hope for it to pour

[Mill1634]

Cleveland is now 4-11 in their last 15....and could easily be 0-15 in that stretch

Sorry, I should have explained I was talking about a larger time frame, than the last hour.

[Vanimal46]

I am aware. If you don't build innings, they will always fail the third time through, because they never get a chance to build the extra strength and elasticity. Self-fulfulling prophecy is being acheived, and the article contributes.

[Danchat]

Have a day, Kirilloff!!!

Oh so instead you're complaining about the 4.5 game lead after tonight and a 5-0 record against the pre-season favorite? I don't understand some posters. Rocco deserves criticism. I agree.  Pulling a rookie at 77 pitches the third time through after getting hit around the past 2 innings is not one of those. 

[operation mindcrime]

Wow!!!! Killer Kirilloff!!!!!!!!!

[ChermesZ]

That wrist must be feeling awful powerful right now.

I feel like there's been a massive amount of negativity on the board recently. 

 

As for the game the rain has arrived.

I'm talking in general, overal several, games, moths, seasons.  The guy, to me, has an agenda, that sometimes is questionable.  If you can't read that in my post, my apologies.  

[Winston Smith]

Can Duffy give up a 6 run lead?

No, but Duffey can.

[Aggies7]

Radar looks like they might finish this one

Sooooooooooooooooo sorry.

[Mill1634]

Not real sure that was a baserunning blunder. Freeze on a line drive. That's exactly what Harrison did.
