Following from work, so not exactly sure how it all played out. So Jeffers hit a fly ball that the CF messed up. Buxton basically made up his mind that he was going to 1st to home but the throw was at the plate when he was halfway down the line between 3rd and home.

SiouxScore Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 So much wrong in that 7th for the Twins. Why bring in Clippard? May threw like 8 pitches and looked good let him go another inning or let Duffey, Romo, or Rogers start the inning. Twins get an easy gift double play on the White Sox baserunner misreading the fly ball but Kepler can't make an accurate throw to first base. If he makes the throw Twins are out of the inning with the lead. 4 pitch walk to Grandal to give one of the best hitters in baseball the opportunity to tie the game in Abreu. Make good pitches to Abreu and a slow roller to Polanco that he didn't have much urgency with turns into an infield hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Twins should just trade for Dyson just so he can't only hit on them, steal bases, and tie the game late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOW KEEP HIM IN THE LINEUP EVERY DAY AND BENCH KEPLER ROCCO!!!!!!!! I'd hit Buxton first. Doesn't matter being behind Avila or another catcher because we don't steal bases anyways.

Wilbur Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Just read that the same umpire crew will be at Wrigley this weekend. What an absolute travesty. Get machines to call balls and strikes and the issue will take care of itself. I wonder how long the contract is between the MLB and the umpire union. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Max ride the pine after doing nothing this season. I'd seek trades in the off-season for Kepler. Dump some salary and get the young outfielders up here.

Wilbur Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Eddie.....he's not going to throw you three fastballs in a row. Sit offspeed.... That 3-0 pitch he's got to attack. 93 center cut. Solid outing from Hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodakvindy Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Letting the Indians pass them wouldn't be terrible. Avoids the match-up with the Yankees. Don't see them catching ChiSox at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWSiouxMN Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I'd never thought that I would say this... but these Twins need to inject a little Piranaha in the offense. They should have let Buxton steal in the 9th... even if he gotten thrown out, at least it would be a worthy gamble. If you have all that speed and don't use it.... is in a asset? Sad thing in this stretch in Chicago... with a competent offense and some focus, they could be 4-1 instead of 1-4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocco has got all the speed in the world with a guy like Buck, and we never.....ever.....utilize it. What have we hit and run twice this year??? I'm afraid this is what the postseason will look like. There will be a big spot and instead of May he will bring in Wisler and then its game over. He has the most talented teams in Twins history the past two seasons, of course they are going to win their fair share but how many tight games has his decisions killed them?

SWSiouxMN Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Non-Twins related but Gardy announced his retirement effective immediately. Guess he is going through some health problems right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 See.....how is the same pitch not a strike from the top of the first to the bottom of the first.....twice. Machine strike zone please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 So how can Dick Bremer talk about the Gardenhire way for three innings and then watch Rosario not take second or give himself up in respects to assuring the run gets across after his hit and just gives him a pass? At least Eddie is hitting. Another good outing from Big Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
