Game Thread: Twins (Gray) v White Sox (Cease), 7/21/23 @ 6:15 CT

[IndianaTwin]

Great — I was hoping that, with the game on Fox and against the Sux, we’d get Jason Benetti. If you haven’t heard him, folks, you’re in for a treat, though I don’t know if he’ll be at his very best without his regular partner. 

[Parfigliano]

No no-no.

But at least Benintendi only got one-fourth as far as he did last night.

I’ve always wondered when I’ve gone to games at the Sox stadium, wth is this thing?

 

[mrtwinsfan]

Rocco thinking Polanco at 3b ?  Memory serves me right, which i admit is Scary, Wasent his arm strength the #1 reason going to 2nd, ??

That and his range.  Which wouldn't be a problem at 3B, but the arm certainly would.

Just started raining here - 60 mile south of the stadium. Hail coming down in chunks right now. About the size of  Greenland icebergs. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little... excuse me, I'm going to strip naked and run around the house ...

You are excused.

What do folk think of putting Jullien at 3rd?

 

Probably Polanco is preferable there. And good to have both bats in the lineup, and perhaps swap players around once we have a comfortable lead.

But what do i know?

[Squirrel]

Awww, Tony Bennet died …

Is this a caption challenge? 

Or do you actually want the right name?

If Mike Cubbage could play third base, Jorge Polanco can as well.

[mrtwinsfan]

As long as buxton  keeps trying to pull low outer pitches , will be that same result we just watched,  got to many holes in that swing to ever be consistent,  And he better hopefully be ready to play some outfield when Royce - polanco - are back , Him clogging up the D.H. hole will only hurt this team,  Need to pick it up Buck !!!

When Julien dosent think he has his best throws to 1st, and 3b being the most reactive spot,  Worth a shot

He played 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

We just gave a run away.

His arm strength his comparable to Farmer and Miranda, and better than Solano.

Preach.  If he cant play D he shouldnt play.  Him as DH kills them.

Double to the opposite field just eludes Cólas.

Sigh...

No one has attention spans... Excepting Denatd, of course.
