Tanner Bibee
vs
Sonny Gray
Day game alert!
Final game of an almost 12-game homestand. A loss today guarantees the Twins pick ahead of the Giants on the waiver wire. The Diamondbacks play the Dodgers tonight so not counting on them winning that. I'd still prefer a win to keep the Guardians well behind in the standings and make the division look a tiny bit less sad.
I'm shooting for a win to close in on Texas' playoff spot. #AspirationalThinking
Twins rolling out their Three True Outcomes offense today; still waiting on the best outcome...
Correa seems broken
Speaking of broken, if you're pinch-hitting Jordan Luplow against a righty in a tie game in the fifth, then Gallo shouldn't be on the roster anymore
FTFY.
I have to think that he and Luplow are gone when Bux, Castro and Kiriloff are ready.
PH for Gallo?? Sanity!
Gallo is hurt. Butt hurt.
That's good enough for me to put him on the IL for the rest of the year.
It definitely is difficult for some players to recover from
That's one way to get a strike.
Jax using Sonny's strategy for facing the first batter :/
OMG drink.
Correa double play. That man must have really pissed off a witch because he is cursed in DP situations.
I blame bjhess. 🙁
When the wild pitch tying run came in, we left. I feel good!
"You chose...wisely."
Oh, FFS blue!
*sigh*
Not Rocco's finest game
Yeah... that was such an awful decision.
Let's not forget the return of the ass bats.
I'd like to.
Which one?
The Luplow appearance?
Yanking Sonny?
Yanking Jax?
Walking Ramirez?
Yanking Pagan?
Every single move backfired
Gray was pulled after 81 pitches against the Rangers too. He also went seven innings then too. He had 93 pitches the start before that but then 80 in the start prior.
Yes, but they had a huge lead against Texas, so no harm in sparing him an inning or two to save for a more important time later... like today
When your best option in extra innings is a guy making his second big league appearance, you get what you should expect to get.
Well, nothing like pissing away a series win against your nearest division challenger to finish off August at home.
This take from yesterday's game log unfortunately aged well.
Twins back up to six games over .500. Seems like every time they have met that milestone this season the Twins go into a minor tailspin.
Yep. Me last week:
*looks closely at boxscore* QS L
Did Jeffers his a wall? He was red hot for a while, but man...
That was one weird top of the 9th.
