pcq Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I think they face Dane Dunning on Friday. Should be a real whine party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing I hate more than watching a 4 hour baseball game that the Sox lose when they should have won (like that entire first series in Anaheim). The emotional and time investment makes it feel like I just wasted the last 4 hours of my life after the final out. Now if it was a 2.5 hour game, I might feel a little bit better about it.

Can't wait for the game thread to suggest that Cease should have been the one traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its what makes the grind of a 162 game season so beautiful. I absolutely love parking my ass on the couch and watching a 4 hour baseball game. Are there areas where we could see things speed up a bit? Sure. I am all for 30 second shot clocks on pitchers. Replay reviews take WAY WAY WAY WAY too much time and this should be the easiest thing to speed up yet the genius' at mlb can't figure that out. Filling the beautiful game of baseball with gimicks to speed it up isn't the answer. I don't agree on replay. It is long in every sport. I think it is worse in the NBA. They not only have to review the "issue" they also have to review the clock. Basketball and football also have more reviews based on last 2 minutes issues.

I would also add that the under 30 generation will not sit through a 4 hour game. Maybe even under 50. Now the 70+ generation can watch for a few hours , take a nap and catch the 9th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanSoxFan Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Twins playing a wild game in Oakland. Maeda got lit up and Colome blew a save. Hopefully the game goes 18 innings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GermanSoxFan Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Col0me blew two saves in this game (i know it’s not technically possible) and the twins lose on a bad throw on a routine play 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 3 minutes ago, pcq said: 49 pitches and two blown saves. Sloppy. Colome got 5 outs in that 10th inning, and those were two of the worst defensive plays you could possibly make. The 9th was one him, but the 10th he didn't have any business even giving up 1 run.

chw42 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 The Twins are somehow out White Soxing us this season. Can you imagine if Madrigal made a throw that bad and we ended up losing on a walk off error? Soxtalk would literally explode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the worst throws I’ve ever seen. Fathom's favorite player Arraez was the goat, well, along with Colome...insane offensive numbers from this boxscore. Still think Buxton is the player we should be targeting in FA, if we're not going to spend it on pitching/Gio/Lynn. Can you imagine an outfield of both Robert and Buxton? The White Sox could move the fences back and create even more of a competitive advantage with their outfield defense, ala the Royals from 2013-2016.

Blackout Friday Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Pinch running for Donaldson in the top of the 10th really came back to bite them. The guy who pinch ran for him made error number 1. Arraez, taking over his spot at third, made error number 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twins defense let him down in the 10th but he certainly didn't pitch well that inning either. Was throwing the ball in the dirt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) Twinkie Town's dislike of Colome is hilarious. Not like Henricks has been lights out but moving on from Alex looks smart early. Edited April 22, 2021 by chitownsportsfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Donaldson was something like 4/5 or 4/6 at that point in the game...after just recently coming off the DL for a leg injury. The reason they subbed a runner is Josh has been out for the first 2-3 weeks battling that issue from the first couple of days of the season. They didn't want to put him a position to re-injure himself really pushing to score on a single...tag up, etc. Lose the battle, win the war, etc. You have to keep Buxton/Cruz/Donaldson healthy if the Twins are going anywhere this season. Obviously, it came back to bite them on defense, removing a Gold Glover and playing a utility player at a position he's not 100% comfortable at.

If you can't trust Josh to score on a single to win a game then he shouldn't be playing. The man has glass legs and they can go out at any point.
