Twins (Lopez) vs Cubs (Imanaga): 8/6/24, 7:05pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Pablo vs Shota, great matchup tonight.

[stringer bell]

The ERA is still unsightly, but Pablo's other numbers are in line with expectations. Another lefty on the hill for the opponents, so I expect we'll see Margot leading off again. If Lee can't go, Kepler is probably starting as the only lefty bat. 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Pablo's been pitching well of late and we need it to continue. Imanaga is a tough one. Runs will be at a premium.

[CRF]

We need an ace level start from Pablo tonight. Imanaga is no slouch, and he's going to be tough for our righty platoon. Probably another low scoring game. GO TWINS!

[SD happy]

Dang, no Buxton again tonight!

Martin CF

Kepler RF

Vazquez C

[Aggies7]

Is it still precautionary? Lol

Hope that clears up by Friday.

[Road trip]

Lee at 2B and Castro at SS is.... interesting.  I suppose it means Lee's arm is still hurting.

Keeps him from running into the brick wall.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Alright, let's set this right. Everyone has to clap and say "i do believe in Buxton!"

 

(Well, it worked for Tinkerbell, right?)

I am not sure, but i think i figured out why Pablo day wasn't quite as good as folk wanted it to be...

 

Most games are at night.

(Because the night

belongs to Pablo, etc?)

I imagine we are playing (more) important games on Friday?

Is there also a double header or something?

And i suppose if i haven't figured out which side they bat from by now, i'm hopeless? Likewise if i can't count the number of batters ahead to determine their batting position, i am hopelesser?

 

What about our opponents?

Possibly a hydra.

[Mike Sixel]

If Lee is hurting, why isn't Martin at 2B again?

Yikes. I wouldn’t call a 5 games winning streak terribly ‘hot’ when 3 games were against one of the worst teams in history. But this game is a bit of a heat check. If you win tonight on the road with that lineup against a good starter and what is actually a good bullpen…then you’re officially hot.

I would imagine Lewis will see absolutely nothing over the plate, while the games is close anyway.

Yes.

[jkcarew]

Since Buxton’s first ‘full’ season (2016)…

Games played:

Buxton -709

Santana - 1229 (an additional 3.2 seasons worth of games)

Availability is an ability.

[CRF]

First time I've seen Imanaga...and I can tell you right now, we're gonna have trouble hitting him. 

[BH67]

Guardians rained out tonight. Supposing a doubleheader vs Arizona tomorrow.

[USAFChief]

Lots of good swings off Lopez so far.

 

Edit:  heh. Yup

Looked like a fastball down the middle.

Yesterday, it was Dansbury, and today it's the White Sox. Gotta love the Hawk!
