Game Thread: Twins @ White Sox, 5/3/25 @ 6:10 CT

[RickOShea]

Pagan usually gives up a hit and or a walk.  so when he's brought in with a runner already on, it's almost a sure thing Chicago's manages to get a run across.

The "other guys" in the bullpen are probably needed today. 

And now there's no probably.

[ashbury]

If you're not going to bring Pagan into a blowout situation, when can you?

[RickOShea]

Nice job by..................Jeffers, for the frame job.

Obviously, a tie game!

[bighat]

Let's go get 'em, need a win here tonight boys. Let's leave it all on the field these next few innings.

That's just it.  There is no right time for this guy, unless you can trade him to the opposition.

[stringer bell]

Didn't like this move on Opening Day. Don't like it now.

[USAFChief]

As I say every winter, when someone tells us "so and so will only pitch in low leverage situations," it don't work that way.

Every pitcher will pitch in situations that decide games. 

 

[USAFChief]

Solano not fast.

 

And for the record, Dick, out.

[UpstateNewYorker]

Pretty early to be pinch hitting for Gallo. 

[stringer bell]

So Miranda at third, Solano at first and Castro in center?

[Nine of twelve]

Wonder if Gallo has especially bad numbers against Bummer.

Terrible. You're trading 2 Gallo ABs for 2 Solano ABs in a tie game. That's incredible mismanagement.

[RickOShea]

i like Miranda, but man, he's like a broken faucet.  He runs hot or cold, no lukewarm for him.

[mrtwinsfan]

How long till we see Artificial intelligence  on Roccos computer,  

[Jocko87]

While I defended Rocco a bunch today this is where he is too cute by half. Bummer is the only lefty they have and one AB in the 6th isn't worth losing Gallo defense and potential late inning at bat. Miranda OK whatever, but all the chip in the 6th is too early.

Wow this game thread is like a Twitter feed or a star tribune comment section. Can anyone be positive here?

[USAFChief]

Disappointed in Miranda so far. Very disappointed.

That's a very true statement.  You are looking at the whole game, while rocco is looking at....................Heck, I have no idea what he's looking at.

We could be more positive, but we keep getting inundated with these examples of  bad play and mismanagement.

I'm positive unless there's something wrong with Gallo I don't like PHing Solano there.

Bummer is damn tough on lefties, but with no one and still in the 6th of a tie game...I question taking Gallo out of the game.

[rwilfong86]

Twins run themselves out of another inning. Twins baseball at its finest.

[stringer bell]

Looked like he was safe. Bad challenge cost them a SB.

[Parfigliano]

Looked opposite of out

We get Donnie Barrels' glove at 1st, too.

[SwainZag]

Bad call.  He was in there.
