Game Thread: Twins (Ryan) vs White Sox (Crochet): 4/29/24, 6:40pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Back to the White Sox again, who somehow managed to sweep the Tampa Bay Rays while the Twins were beating up on the Angels.

Added White Sox lineup.

Wow, the White Sox doubled their win total since the Twins saw them last.

Time for a REAL team to put them back in their place.😀

Hopefully, they got good and cocky about it too.  That'd be extra fun!

Yeah, they got all fat and sassy, like pigs to the slaughter.

I’m expecting a loss tonight because I’ll be at the game … 😕

Let's hope it isn't the Twins that got all "fat and sassy".

I'm imagining there will be plenty of seats available, so sit right behind the plate so that we can see you.

Going with a group, so we’ll see if they want to move around. Also the seats right behind the plate in those first few rows … they check your tickets there because they are fancy seating. I’m hoping there are more Twins fans at the game than White Sox fans

[Squirrel]

I wonder if anyone gets activated for today?

Sounds like Correa has a pretty good chance! he was in the dugout vs the Angels

They wouldn’t send him on a rehab assignment? Maybe not

Topa and Duran are close

Correa said (to quote Amy Winehouse) "Rehab, no, no, no."

[stringer bell]

More Farmer, Miranda and Margot with the lefty going for the ChiSox. That crazy Rocco might even have Vázquez DH!

[Craig Arko]

Hopefully you’ll see the sausage a lot, in a good way.

[Schmoeman5]

Now that the "sausage" is out. The health dept. will stick their nose in and shut it down.

Attendance has been pretty rough for the games I've been to this year. Seeing thousands of fans lined up outside Oracle Park 90min before game time in SF was a real eye-opener. Hopefully attendance picks up!

[Schmoeman5]

Since tonight's game is broadcast on FS1 does that mean it's blacked out on BSN?

Julien has an .898 ops against lefties. He should be playing

White Sox lineup added to OP.

[Schmoeman5]

And that lineup is exactly what I expected.

A friend of mine took video at the last game he went to at Guaranteed Rate and it was a sea of empty seats. After their 3-game sweep of the Rays over the weekend, I’m assuming there will be a few more there, but I’m hoping it’s half and half Twins and Sox fans 🙂

I also think Juiien should be starting, but the recent results of an all right hand lineup says if its not broke don't fix it.  When a right hander comes in Rocco will go with his left hand bats and they can't be replaced should the WS go L-R-L.  Hopefully Correa can do as well as Martin did.

Not allowed==  Twins Win !!!

[CRF]

Hopefully, that Correa guy, doesn't come back and disrupt this well oiled machine we've got running right now. Maybe he should stay on the bench.

Sorry to see Martin sent down

Confused as to why Both Miranda and Larnach are out of the lineup with a Lefty up for Chicago who has been less than impressive?

Nevermind, just Larnach not starting.
