GAME THREAD: Minnesota Twins at Boston Red Sox; 04/18/2023, 6:10pm Central Daylight Time

[stringer bell]

Sonny's ERA has doubled.

[PDX Twin]

Another 9-0 first inning coming up?

[USAFChief]

Impressive start. 

[Schmoeman5]

Is Kepler mentally in the game? On that double by Verdugo, he was not in any hurry to get to that ball.

[USAFChief]

Oh FFS.

[Aggies7]

This is going really really well 

[Vanimal46]

That was a low percentage play for Miranda to try that throw IMO. 

[CRF]

Not off to a very good start here. Ouch!

[PDX Twin]

I guess people were skinnier when Fenway was built, but that aisle directly behind the plate is narrower than any I've ever seen. How does it pass fire code for evacuation?

[bighat]

Odds the Twins go down 1-2-3 with three strikeouts in the top of the 2nd? 

Twins pitchers have to be getting sick of this. I know the fans sure are. 

 

[stringer bell]

Huge AB right here.

It's Boston. You just give the fire marshall or inspector a little something. 

[CRF]

A lot of pitches for Gray. No matter what happens, he's not gonna go deep into this game.

[bighat]

Nice pitch - got away with one there it seems. We'll take it. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Nice,, the Error didnt hurt

[stringer bell]

Veteran pitchers maybe do know how to limit damage.

[Nine of twelve]

1 run scored after all that mess. Fortunate set of circumstances.

[USAFChief]

Pretty big to get out of that only down 1-0.

 

Let's go bats, for a change.

[stringer bell]

Now, hit a couple of 320' fly balls.

[PDX Twin]

It took more than three pitches, at least.

[Vanimal46]

Are we sure Chris Sale’s ERA had the decimal in the correct place? Looks like a 1.125 ERA pitcher tonight. 

[USAFChief]

I've been seeing a therapist. At our last session, she told me I have issues expressing my feelings. I guess I can't say I'm surprised. 

[rwilfong86]

Is this Sale or Randy Johnson?

[Vanimal46]

I’m rooting for chaos. 27 swinging strikeouts for Sale let’s see it. 

[RpR]

From watching on ESPN , if the pitch is at the edge of the strike zone, you better swing as the odds are the Ump. will call  it a strike for Boston.

1 strike away from doing just that. 

[CRF]

The Twins alphabet starts and ends with the letter K.

[mrtwinsfan]

Anyone know the best app for twins games on my android phone ?  cant watch this ,  Walk time

[Aggies7]

SIX strikeouts and the guy has 34 pitches!!! Lmao

[SwainZag]

This looks very much like vintage Sale tonight
