tray Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 ReyLo is on a short leash so i am not as worried about him as our middle relievers who will be shouldering a lot of innings tonight. Sox pitchers have to pitch around Nelson Cruz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomPickle Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Detwiler only throwing to one batter last night will make a lot more sense when he has to come in after the second inning tonight and throw 3 innings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Not sure anyone expects to win this one. Let's do it anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppysox Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Lopez has talent. I wish his peers would convince him to try a faster pace with a more bulldog attitude. He comes off as afraid to throw the ball. It would be huge if he would turn into a competent #4 or #5. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusguyman Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 If the Twins find a way to lose this one, I may start to agree with their fans that they are actually broken. Man, that would fun as hell. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yesterday333 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I’m not sure why everyone is acting like this is a definite loss... good teams lose to bad teams all the time... and we are not a bad team, even with Lopez on the mound. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because Lopez can't throw strikes and Minnesota can hit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Detwiler only facing one batter had more to do with the fact that if he came back out, he would have had to face Sano as the 2nd batter of Detwiler's 2nd inning of work (3rd batter overall). With the 3 batter minimum (or finish an inning) rule, I actually think that move made sense. Edited September 2, 2020 by ChiSox59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has shown flashes of being a very good pitcher. But I think you hit it on the head: He seems afraid or tentative to throw. I do think a lot of his issues are mental. He needs to stay out of his own head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 This seems like one of those 8-5 losses, with the Sox being down 6-7 runs all game before making a late surge. I hate to say that, but I have no confidence in Lopez to pitch well & no confidence in Renteria to pull him when he should and then find a competent reliever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 ReyLo should give Nelson Cruz a shave with a 97 mph fastball. Then do it again until he backs up and takes a walk. I would not throw a strike to Cruz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Not as worried about this one as you guys apparently. Berrios shouldn’t intimidate this lineup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Bold prediction: Reylo somehow pitches better than Giolito and Keuchel did the last 2 nights. Cause baseball is weird. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m convinced he doesn’t walk because he has a great eye, it’s because he fouls off every meatball he gets and the pitcher is forced to have to throw more strikes. He should have been swinging out of his ass on the 3-1 pitch with Southpaw up next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
