Lucas Giolito
vs
Sonny Gray
Rubber match and final game of this homestand.
Giolito was very good in 2021 and not good at all in 2022. So far after two starts, it's been more 2022 than 2021. He's averaged almost two his per inning.
Still no Correa and still Buxton not in the field. Julien makes his MLB debut. He's been great in his nine games with the Saints so far.
Lineup:
Solano, 1B
Buxton, DH
Miranda, 3B
Gordon, LF
Jeffers, C
Larnach, RF
Farmer, SS
Julien, 2B
Taylor, CF
I swear I heard Dazzle introduce "Kyle Farnsworth" when announcing the Twins lineup
Nick Gordon does not look like he has any business hitting in the top or middle of the order right now.
has any business hitting in the top or middle of the order right
nowFTFY
This is a first plate appearance I have been looking forward to for a couple years now. Le frappeur, le deuxième-but, Edouard Julien!
Le roulant, le retrait. Merde!
Bases loaded. Damn.
"White Sox gonna White Sock"
oh shit!
If you aren't watching on tv, Farmer just got drilled near the eye/temple.
injured jaw is the call
Jaw? I was way off.
Ouch. It looked worse than that description. Bet he’ll have a face guard added to his helmet by the next time he appears in a game.
Oh shit, again!
Buxton collided with an infielder, but I think he just dinged up his nose. (WTF are White Sox fielders doing out there?)
ok, not nose, maybe concussion.
Gameday has a replay - it looks like he lands awfully. I don't know how he can slow down/avoid there, but he has to figure out a way to do that.
Yeah, I didn't get a great look at it when it happened live but on replay I can't *totally* blame the Sox fielder, but I still will because I dislike the Sox.
I'm on board with this. Especially after the HBP earlier - a fastball to the face should not happen.
WTF are White Sox fielders doing out there?
I think we can eliminate "fielding"
Keeping him out of centerfield to keep him healthy and the White Sox doing their best to change that.
you gotta be kidding me
The White Sox will not settle for being a danger to themselves, apparently.
Feeling pretty fine about that insurance run.
Et cetera
in play run(s)!
nice -- the thought of the Sox taking the series does not abide
So many insurance runs!
Vásquez was set to appear in Buxton’s place, which does not ease my sense of trepidation about his condition.
A best fried of the pitcher is a best friend of mine.
Good sequencing on that double play.
wait -- did that ad say that Scots kills Swedes?
oops -- watched the Farmer HBP with sound on :/
