Twins Vs Rangers 9/3/2023 1:35pm CT. Get away game, grip and rip!

[mrtwinsfan]

Maeda  gonna be in till 85-90 Pitches,    the score  wont matter,  Hope he can keep it from getting worse

[jkcarew]

Sands for 3 innings of shutout ball would be great.

Sands for 4+ innings, with 10 allowed also acceptable.

[rwilfong86]

Nice Houdini escape there, 2nd and 3rd with nobody out and they can't score.

[stringer bell]

Wallner has been fighting it for a while. BA is down below Correa’s. 

[GusGus11]

Are we really going to start Vazquez in October???

Correa is the teams leading batter…it’s an official fact.

[stringer bell]

They’ve actually done a good job of minimizing the damage done by Seager and Semien. So far, the biggest fly in the ointment has been Mitch Garver. 

[Mortimerkenny21]

Wow, glad Maeda has made it this far despite the 1st inning and all the leadoff hits. Hope the Twins can put a few on the board to make this a game. Chip away at it.

I’m hopeful Kepler gets enough plate appearances to supplant Correa. 

[stringer bell]

Gallo made (weak) contact on two consecutive at-bats. Progress?

[GusGus11]

Did Smalley just say that Polanco isnt all the way back yet at the plate?

Hes had a .888 OPS in August.

Unless Roy was talking about someone else while Polanco happened to be hitting. What a moronic comment

It’ll be close, but I don’t think he’ll make it. It’s likely Correa finishes as the only qualified batter on the team. Doesn’t that have to be a record of some sorta? Has there ever been a team that finished with zero?

[rwilfong86]

Royce!!

[PDX Twin]

The line score on the bottom of my screen showed the 3 about two seconds before the pitch. I knew what was coming!

[Mortimerkenny21]

Boom!!! Royce Lewis!! Thank you sir!

[stringer bell]

Lewis!!!!

[CRF]

Thanks Mr Lewis! Now, we need Kenta to hold them from scoring any more runs. 

[jkcarew]

How sick of the Twins must the Rangers and their fans be at this point?

[stringer bell]

What should be done with Maeda? If their BP was fresher, it would be a no-brainer.

@shoeman34

Are you trying to say that Polanco did not in fact have a good month of August???

I think you have to just roll with him.

Its on Kenta to throw a shut down inning.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Lewis is very timely with his multi RBI dingers

Might be time for Sands to take one for the team.

I think you gotta try to get another inning from Maeda.

[rwilfong86]

I would have loved to see Jeffers hit right there, I didn't think Vazquez would do anything productive

[GusGus11]

Continuing to allow Vazquez to play every other game is no exaggeration the most baffling decision in the history of minnesota sports

Which is saying something

No. I'm disagreeing with the statement that it's a moronic comment. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Lopez back in Baltimore,  and Hicks  D.F.A.

So Smalley saying that Polanco was not all the way back yet when he had a OPS of .888 the last month was not moronic???

If Polanco had that OPS every single month of his career he would be the best second baseman in the history of baseball
