TWINS BASEBALL!!
Oh, wow. Sano deked them bad. Some horrible defense in this first inning by the Sox.
This is normal baseball for the Southsiders.
oh, hai!
hey, glad you could use the tix, btw
i'm using those for tomorrow's game 🙂
which THEY'RE GONNA WIN
Holy crap, what a catch by Dozier.
50 pitches in two innings for Big Q. That is not efficient.
meanwhile, we're getting out hitted and out errored
Wait, wait, wait . . . I just turned on the game. WHAAAAAAAT HAPPENED???
Twins caught White Soxitis.
Sounds like the fourth was kind of perfect storm of bad pitching, bad defense, and bad luck. Some balls were hit hard, but also a lot of grounders that found holes, plus an error and a missed cutoff man.
the Blaine Boyer Experience already? Oy.
You'd rather it be in the 8th inning of a close game?
Dazz just used the phrase "small sample."
I think the shock caused Boyer to throw the ball away.
To paraphrase somebody or other, the White Sox have that field so messed up that now nobody can play on it.
I feel confident that the Sox will blow this game. It's very similar to the feeling I'd get late in the previous couple years when the Twins would get an early lead.
I'm growing less and less confident of this.
It didn't look "easy", exactly, but Buxton made an awesome play look like merely a heck of a play there.
According to Statcast, Buxton covered 57.43 feet on the play, reaching a maximum speed of 18.9 mph.
His first step happened in 0.48 seconds, and his route efficiency was rated at 98.1 percent.
I have no idea what this means, but it sounds impressive.
Hey, as soon as I saw Buxton break for that ball, I thought, huh, that crazy # &$%er's going to catch that, isn't he?
Come on, 8 run inning here.
Sano is standing about 5 yards in front of me. He's HUGE.
And yet, isn't Vargas bigger? I'm pretty sure I've seen him traverse the dugout post-HR and seen someone not look up to him. Certainly in spring training there was a doppelganger of his there.
B-Ref lists Sano at 6-4, 260 and Vargas at 6-5, 290. Mauer is 6-5, 225.
290? Good lord.
I haven't seen Vargus so up close and personal, so I can't speak to that. Sano definitely isn't the largest person I've ever seen. It's just... not sure how to describe. He just looks so powerful.
Well, from spring training experience, those two guys are men among boys (Big Pelf excluded)
The wave has gone around the stadium 7 times now. The White Sox do not deserve to win this game.
Isn't that only, like, two sections this time of year?
