  1. Maybe I'm not as smart as Rocco, but seems like you could have Correa pinch hit here, and bring Sanchez in to catch for the bottom of the 10th.
  2. dang it Gio. This is why a bunt should have been the play.
  3. I would be very interested to find out how many times since the advent of the extra inning ghost runner 1 run has been enough to win. Every one seems to assume 1 is not enough, and I wonder how true that is. On a related note, the White Sox have 6-8 due up in the 10th--feels like now would be a good time to play for 1, especially if you're going to bring Duran back out.
  4. With this bullpen, it might be preferable to throw a position player out there to pitch. Unless of course you're too old to throw things.
  5. And once again, Rocco doesn't bring Duran in until after the lead is gone. Who exactly pitches the 10th should we get there?
  6. You need to re-think your caveman approach to baseball.
  7. Hey! Just saw I got promoted to Single A during this thread! Wonder what I should do with my cool $500 a week, courtesy of Mssrs. Bonnes, Stohs, Nelson, Hageman, and Beauchamp.
  8. You are correct it would seem. I thought perhaps Duran in the 7th, given that it's 2-3-4 in the 7th.
  9. When the equipment guys need some help getting gear on the bus.
  10. Perhaps just me, but my life has been much more enjoyable 30 and after than 29 and before.
  11. Jax and Duran to get 9 outs between them? Duran in the 7th and part of the 8th, Jax to close it out?
  12. Gordon scheduled to bat 5th this inning. Were it me, and that spot comes up, I'm putting Correa in to pinch hit.
  13. Jackie Robinson would not have gone 0-3.
  14. What's to learn is that you don't need to hit the ball hard so long as you make very little soft contact (Luis is 8th in MLB at just under 10%) and are elite at making contact in general (Luis is 1st in MLB). It's very hard to do both of those things, so what's learnable is that Luis Arraez is really freaking good at hitting.
  15. Take notes kids. What does Luis Arraez do before stepping into the box? Check for where the fielders are.
  16. If you're too old to throw things, you're definitely too old to duck (don't even think about diving and dodging). I'm ok with you dipping.
  17. Jackie Robinson would have gloved that ball in the hole at short.
  18. Jackie Robinson wouldn't have hit a check swing popout.
  19. The Sox committed an error on Gordon's routine ground ball to first. Gordon stupidly thought he could stretch it to a double, realized he couldn't, but was too far off first, and so got thrown out trying to get back.
  20. The Sox fielding is pathetic. Fortunately for them, the Twins baserunning is even more pathetic. Honestly, why would Gordon think he could advance to second on a ball in shallow right field?
  21. If the Twins are good at strategy, they will deliberately look to take pitches this inning. Goal is to put Lynn on 80 pitches by inning's end.
  22. The crowd at Guaranteed Rate had a collective Bremergasm on that routine flyout.
