Also some speculation that Gray was a little shook up, he’s close friends with Farmer.

That reason would be Rocco Baldelli

I'm always going to side with the pitcher, but... that wasn't a bad decision to pull Sonny at that point

Do not bet on that.

[HawksNest]

The lineup is a problem. 

I'll feel a lot better when/if we get healthy, because if this team even gets to league average offensive production, they should be a playoff team. 

[MNTSchmitt]

Love the probably skipping work cam at Target Field!

[James]

Fielding % still at 1.000

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Yeah we may eke out another win today, but it’s charitable to call this a 80-win offense, even with Correa

This is also a little bit of a "Get Away" lineup as well.  That usually never helps.

Yeah. The white Sox probably feel the same. Jimenez and Moncada is a lot of potential fireworks missing. Although their pitching hasn’t been great. (Until this series, of course).

[MNTSchmitt]

Why are we watching the contractor place insulation tape? I feel like there are more exciting things to watch on the field lol.

Oh Correa is the only guy missing from our line-up? Heh.

Not sure that it's so much a getaway day lineup as it is a "whomever is healthy" lineup.

Injuries already piling up.

[MNTSchmitt]

Don't think that pitch by Lopez was intentional...

[Parfigliano]

Crooked Twin number time.

Relax.  We've already determined that it's a sustainable pace!  Nothing to worry about!

Whaaaaat?!? Dude, while not nearly as cathartic as a good pressure washing, a good time is still to be had by all.  You should try it some time .

We've also determined that his .000 BA is also a virtual lock to be sustainable.  You can be worried about that instead.

And Polanco. I think the rest of the guys are mostly a wash.

But you know better than to do this here.
