Jays (Gausman) v Twins (López) @ 7:10 pm CT, 8/30/24

[Shaitan]

Is Varsho a switch hitter.

Kinda surprised they went with Jax if he's strictly LH.

Obviously a good call.

[HRick53]

Bring out Jax for the 9th please

 

[stringer bell]

Now I suppose Durán gets the ninth.

Walk is as good as a single STOP THE COUNT

[Shaitan]

Maybe Royce needs a day off instead of extra time learning another new position.

[Shaitan]

Which I suppose he'll get when Lee is back.

Lee isn't going to AAA in September.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Would rather Jax in the 9th.

 

[CCHOF5yearstoolate]

Duran music - uh oh

[Tlaker]

Why pull Jax? Let him at least start the inning…..

[Peter]

Don’t blow this!!!

Yeah he’s hobbling out there 

[Tlaker]

Was anyone up and ready….. just in case?

You'd rather see Thielbar in there? It doesn't matter which way the hitters hit, I'd rather see Jax in a game situation.

Had a day off on Wednesday as I recall.

[gregens]

I wish Duran didn't scare me with only a 2 run lead.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Just throw fastballs.

[h2oface]

Lewis just jogged the whole way to first on that double play. Is he hurt? I thought he was Mr. Speed. It looked like if he was trying, he could have beat it out there. 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Preferably for strikes.

And Thursday.

[howeda7]

Why pull Jax after 3 pitches? Ugh. 

[insagt1]

why not Jax to at least start the 9th? Is this yet another 'by the book' decision by Rocco? Hope it doesn't backfire as Duran has not gone well lately.

And yeah, Lewis is a mess right now. Funny, both he and Henderson of the O's were on fire early...lots of power and energy. Now both of them are nowhere to be found anymore.

Are we worried about this game now? Can Duran throw strikes...in the right places?

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Don't walk this guy...

[Tlaker]

Crap….. overthrowing everything so far 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Here we go...again.

[howeda7]

This isn't going to end well....

[h2oface]

This has to be Rocco thinking that Duran needs a game to get confidence. Not a good start. Duran cannot miss bats these days. Lots of contact, in every at bat.

Maybe he also doesn’t do running to first 😉 

Maybe he could turn it into something like “Bo knows” but he lists all the thing that Royce doesn’t do 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

lol. Farmer stuck in cement...

[h2oface]

relief.
