2022 Game Log 126: Boston Red Sox vs. Minnesota Twins

As mentioned, the Twins have a grueling, crucial stretch in front of them. While a sweep of the Giants is nice, these next few series could well decide the course of the rest of the season.

Aaaaand one reason I said that is I guess I haven't been playing close attention because I thought the Red Sox were doing better than this. They're currently in last place in the AL East (though that designation naturally comes with some caveats) at 62-66. Still, I'm sure they could easily be in contention for the Central, so this won't be an easy series. Especially if the assbats are abound as has been a common feature lately.

We start off with some Bello on Bundy action tonight. Dylan allowed 2 runs in 5 innings against the Astros last time, but he didn't record a strikeout. Hopefully another Twins starter can hit six innings tonight.

      1. it was a swinging bunt and at no point Pham was 2 feet from the dirt basepath and Bundy made a bad throw. Pretty sure if the bat hit Pham it would be ruled an out . Turns out no damage was done

  1. Boston should have two runs on the board but dude didnt tag up on Keplers sliding catch

    1. I really wonder what Kepler's future is with the Twins. People seem to like him, but his numbers have declined every year since 2019. They used to talk about him not hitting left-handers, but he isn't hitting right-handers, either.

      1. He's better this year than last by wRC+. His strikeout rate has dropped but so has his power. He is still walking at the same rate and his fielding has improved so his WAR for this year should surpass 2021. He's not going to match 2019 and it's clear that year's ball had something to do with it.
