    He struck out swinging. It would have been a groundball to short if Sano didn't strike out all the time, though.

    One more Strat-O-Matic update: the Twins fell 10-7 to the Red Sox, but the ending of the game fit the tone of this game thread perfectly. What happened, you ask? The Twins had runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th, and Sano came up to the plate... yup, you know what happened.

    Another Strat-O-Matic update: The Twins are currently losing 8-7 in the bottom of the 7th. Jake Cave is a single short of the cycle, and Mike Morin just blew a one run lead in the top of the 7th.

    Y'know, I have been saying that it's most important to get on a hot streak late in the year so a team can use momentum to carry them into the postseason... and the April-May winning flurry was never going to last. Ideally they'd play .500 ball for the next month or two and kick it up a gear in August/September.
  5. Danchat
    This is why I'm concerned about Sano... yes, I know he's hitting .900 OPS right now, but against tougher relievers and in tight spots he's just hacking away and hurting the team. I'm surprised Pineda isn't going out there for the 7th... not sure if I'm ready for at least 3 innings of our bullpen against the Red Sox.

    For anyone who may be interested, I'm simulating this Twins v. Red Sox game in Strat-O-Matic Baseball and we're losing 5-2 in the top of the 5th right now. Cave hit a 2 run homer but the Sox rallied 4 runs in the top of the 4th. Looks like real life Pineda is doing much better right now.
  7. Danchat
    I didn't catch the Adrianza DL move... so Arraez is back as well. Let's hope the cavalry from AAA is ready to help this lineup out and things going again.
  8. Danchat
    Let's see if Cave can bring some life into this lineup, and hopefully Buxton will only miss the 7 more games he needs to now.
  9. Danchat
    It would also be huge if Parker could do it... against the heart of the Red Sox order!
  10. Danchat
    Boy, these are some ugly RISP at bats we're seeing here.
  11. Danchat
    Whoa... I didn't realize Berrios has had 5 no-hit innings since the 1st inning started with 3 hits. Wow. Boy, Porcello sure doesn't look like a 4.69 ERA guy with 9.5 hits per 9 innings.
  12. Danchat
    Clearly I was misremembering things when it came to the Twins beating up on Porcello. Maybe I was thinking of Chris Sale...
  13. Danchat
    This isn't how I hoped today's game was going to start.
  14. Danchat
    I'm not sure if the Reds are going to be dealing Stephenson in the middle of his breakout year. I would, however, like to take a look at their other options. David Hernandez would be a great buy-low option (yes, he has a 4.80 ERA, but has a 2.48 FIP with a very good 12 K/9 without any major walking problems (3.0 BB/9)).
  15. Danchat
    I felt like we've beat up on Porcello many times before... we got this! We beat up on the Red Sox last year (we had a 4-2 record if I remember right), so let's continue the beatdown! I feel like our chances of winning are always the highest with Berrios on the mound, so let's get the W today and try to take the series after that.
  16. Danchat
    I know this isn't related to 2019, but I have to post this tidbit from the 2017 Rankings: And yet Reed is still languishing at AAA!
  17. Danchat
    Alright, Cruz... this is your chance. Kennedy's thrown 28 pitches and he's tired out there - this is your chance. Let's do this!
  18. Danchat
    Thanks to that odd play in RF, we're still in it!
  19. Danchat
    Yup, and we probably won't remember this game when we're playing in September and into October. This isn't football - a bad loss isn't a season ender - and we're 25 games over .500 and we have room to lose a few. I'll only start worrying if we see bad trends develop... right now the only major issue I see with this team is the bullpen. The sloppy defense and bad RISP are likely just blips on the radar.
  20. Danchat
    Cover your eyes, the bases are loaded for the 4th time!!
  21. Danchat
    Rogers was out with a back strain when May went out for the save opportunity. Who else did you want to get that, Harper? Parker?
  22. Danchat
    It'd be embarrassing if we got swept, but we are going to win the series no matter what... they are consistently winning and that will keep the crowds coming.
  23. Danchat
    That's 22 LOB (left on base per plate appearance)! Yikes. Also, did that 7th inning last an hour? That took forever to get through.
  24. Danchat
    Here comes Morin for his 5 pitch shutdown appearance.
  25. Danchat
    Perez is at least stabilizing... so that's nice. But it seems like he and Pineda are a lock to give up about 3 runs in every start, which isn't great.
