Game Thread: Twins v Cleveland, 8/15 @ 7:10pm CT

Men vs boys tonight. Next indians HR will only count as a double per beer league softball rules

Wasn't Watching.

I think they are playing the long game, lulling everyone into a false sense of security.

 

But i could be wrong about that.

This game hasn't been nearly as long as its felt

What's the point of switching pitchers for one out?

Boshers has now given up 5 homers to right handers in the equivalent of 17.2 innings this year.

 

Of course, the 15 foot hit by Santana didn't help. What are the chances of Santana beating out an infield single anyway?

I baked chicken tonight for dinner.

So, the chicken goes into tupperware, to be served another night, and a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios for dinner instead?

This games wasn't alls well or Enns well.

BTW, Pence shaking his head no was just for the pun, not a prognostication that turned out to be true.

He won't get one out with a RHer when it's 3-1, but at 7-1, with two out in the 9th, THEN he needs to burn Pressly.

 

I don't get it.

Why waste using Pressly down 7 to one batter?  Let Enns finish it.  I'm not liking Molly's pen usage tonight.

Stinker tonight.

 

Unlike the front office, I have not chiseled Colon's name in stone to finish the season.

The worst part is, it isn't even a five-run lead anymore. What's a team to do?

I had two of these, so, may as well use them.

Thank you for the clarification and the prognostication.

I worry that we will look back and decide Colon's 5-inning 3-run effort was the best in this series.

Me and my dirty mashed potatoes... Sorry about that.

 

Tomorrow is a new day.

 

Or something.

Game summary, from my quick glance at boxscore...

 

Salazar, good.

 

Twins, not good.

 

About right?

Pumpkin Spice Life.

I am at peace with this loss

We used Busenitz, Boshers, and now Enns and we had started Bartolo vs Salazar

Not a good chance of winning this one in the first place

Colon has been the Twins best starter since joining the team. If the Twins didn't have a good chance of winning this one in the first place, when will they against a quality opponent?

There hasn't been much to like most nights. On the plus side, Pressly only threw 2 pitches. Shouldn't affect his availability for today.

But I presume he was warming up before coming in, and then threw his warmup tosses when he entered the game, and his outing might have gone longer, so I think the poster makes a good point. But you are right he will be available tonight.

If you had used one in the earlier innings, instead of saving them, maybe the outcome of the game would have been different?
