4/18 The Twins come to town

[azsoxpatsfan]

Nearly a Wong Dong

 

[Heating up in the bullpen]

Beat the infield in, Changster!

 

[Bergs]

Tag there. Jesus.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Eh

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Should have tried it with 2 outs.

 

[Manramsclan]

WTF happened there. No idea why he didn't go. Make them make the play

 

[Heating up in the bullpen]

That’s a great AB by Dugie

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

That’s a great AB by Dugie

He looks incredible

 

[Bergs]

Raffy needs to go deep here.

edit: ugh

 

[Heating up in the bullpen]

WTF happened there. No idea why he didn't go. Make them make the play

Two runners on 3rd should have scored now

 

[Heating up in the bullpen]

Raffy chasing high cheese again. They know his weakness.

 

[derekson]

This feels like the kind of game where leaving all these runners on early and not scoring is going to come around and bite the Sox in the ass.

 

[LesterFan]

Raffy chasing high cheese again. They know his weakness.

That was a changeup. He should have crushed that to left.

 

[patinorange]

I hate this game.

 

[Manramsclan]

Well that one was certainly at the back foot

 

[Beomoose]

Raffy chasing high cheese again. They know his weakness.

He hacks when there's runners on and he starts thinking about crooked numbers. That AB in the first Rays game shoulda been Party Time for him, but he swung out of his shoes at everything.

 

[GPO Man]

Self inflicted

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Ok, let’s settle down here.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Jesus this inning sucks. Here comes. the top of the order for the 3rd time.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Nasty

 

[strek1]

Correa. Dangerous time in the game. Gulp

 

[Bergs]

Wait...you're allowed to score from 3rd?

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Huge at-bat in this game.
GOT HEEM!

 

[strek1]

Well that could have been a lot worse. How about we STOP squandering now, OK guys?

 

[derekson]

Time to drive something in the air, Yoshida

 

[Bergs]

Fuck.
This.
Ump.

 

[Beomoose]

Turner's still not exactly lighting the world on fire, but I'll take the hits.

 

[Mantush]

I much prefer Merloni to Youk

 

[Bergs]

I much prefer Merloni to Youk

Agreed. He feels like a natural successor to Remy.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Scoring runs early!

I'd have preferred often.

 

[Heating up in the bullpen]

Wait...you're allowed to score from 3rd?

And your shit-ass number 9 hitter is allowed to bunt and make something happen.

 

[Beomoose]

Schreiber in the bullpen looking like he's about to haul in the Lobstah pots.

 

[BornToRun]

Hang one, you turd

 

[strek1]

He threw you TWO strikes Kike and the second one you let go was the BEST one. . Jeez.

 

[BornToRun]

It’s frustrating to watch but the good ones battle and gray is definitely a good one.

 

[Bergs]

That was the pitch.

 

[BornToRun]

That’s a swing?

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Casas is a mess.

 

[strek1]

An army of runners left on base tonight.

 

[Beomoose]

That check swing is killing him.

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

Turner's still not exactly lighting the world on fire, but I'll take the hits.

He had a streak of four games from April 6-10 where he went 0-18. Since then he’s hitting like .390 with an 1.100 ops over 7 games. So he kinda has been lighting the world on fire

 

[patinorange]

Depending on the other team messing up may not work against a decent Twins defense.

 

[BoSoxFink]

Casas looks like his swing takes too long to come through the zone. Or he decides to swing way too late

 

[BoSoxFink]

I think he needs to be more aggressive. He takes too many good pitches

 

[shawnrbu]

Darnell McDonald!

 

[BornToRun]

I really want this one. I’d much rather “what an awesome win” instead of “well, sale was great so that’s encouraging going forward”

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

G-G-G-G-GOT HEEM!

 

[shawnrbu]

11!

 

[BornToRun]

Get some runs, duckdamnit!

 

[Manramsclan]

Sick sick sick.

A vintage Chris Sale would be a season changer
