Welp, at least they still have the lead. Time to get some insurance runs.

Sim will get the 6th.  I'm gonna first-guess this as a mistake.

I wish he had, as the bullpen arson squad seems to be in fine form the 6th inning.

Fortunately, we got out of it with the lead intact.

I think that’s on farmer to cover if Miranda was still on the ground. I think it’s only his 4th game at short? I won’t pin it on coaching this time

Fair point. Farm Dog the culprit there.

NO reason Miranda was not there except bad play.

If he dives for the ball in the hole, the shortstop is already heading that way. 2nd is covered by eddy. I’m not absolving Miranda. I also didn’t see why or how he stayed on the ground 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Sands will get the 7th. 

What happens after that?

Very disappointed with Julien’s strike outs. Seems the same problem continues. If I am wrong would love to hear another take.

Where is Pat Mears when we need him?

[Aggies7]

Sands was backing up third where he was supposed to be. I suppose he could have snuck in there to cover the base 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Not sure if 4 runs will be enough tonight. Gotta break through against a very bad bullpen of late.

MIranda should get an error for dicking around and not covery 3rd.

Did anyone actually see what happened to Miranda there?  
Was he doing an Olympic RayGun, and no camera caught it?

Probably Richards, which scares the crap out of me.  Who else, I have no idea.

Thankfully Duran got some needed work in the 7th inning on Wednesday so he won’t be available if we need him in the ninth tonight 

[TwinsCD]

I hope our Festa pitches as well tomorrow as their Festa did tonight.

Remember though, he 'had' to pitch on Thursday.

This Festa looks like is hard to hit despite the stats. Very herky jerky motion and pitches quickly. Tough to get a read on him.

That was Wednesday I believe

But hey maybe we’ll see him. Clase went 4 in a row. Can’t hold anything back!

White Sox need 7 losses to hit 100. Currently beating Houston

Don't look behind you. How are the Guardians doing?

[Aggies7]

I don’t feel great about the way this is going 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Oh boy...

[Aggies7]

Wow what a throw. Will it stand 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Wow. Jeffers. That was big time.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

If it stands...

[Aggies7]

Should stand 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

He's out.

There's actually no way Rocco thinks Okert is gonna get Seager out right?
