No game thread?!?  Well, here it is...

Nova will try not to give up a touchdown against the powerful Twins offense.

Martin Perez starting for the Twins.

The Sox marketing team did an amazing job on the Eloy Bobblehead day game commercial.  That was pretty well done.

Abreu and McCann have to be the worst 3-4 in baseball.

I will give it to Nova.  Dude is pitching like he wants to be traded to a contender and help out the Sox.  Hopefully, it isn’t too little too late.

Didn't need to keep Collins up here and give him AB's. Nope, it makes no sense. Not with the great Wellington Castillo back healthy. He's too good to shave off PA's in favor of a former top 15 draft pick

Baldelli bringing in the infield in a 0-0 game in the 2nd is as dumb as Renteria bunting with Jay in a 0-0 game last night

Yeah, not sure what the Sox were thinking.  Maybe one of these two:

1.  They thought Collins was exposing himself at the plate and it would lower his trade value.

2.  They think that bringing back Castillo before the deadline could net them a mediocre prospect by dealing him.

What in the hell is Sano doing

Lol Sano.

Twins pulled some Sox defense.  Nice.  1-0 Sox.

1 is more likely. 

Anyone with a brain knows Collins isn't a major leaguer. If they can pawn him off on someone for a useful MLB piece by all means they should do it. 

Repeat after me people: Collins is no better than Reed or Castillo.

As a defender, Sano is a good hitter.  He looked really bad at 1b the other night too.

Why the hell is Engel still at 1st?  Ball went to the backstop.

That was rickyesque pulling the infield in

Moot point, I guess

Probably.  As long as they sign Grandal in the offseason, maybe they could get some decent pitching for Collins or a nice corner OF prospect.

Nice pop up, Cordell.

Especially when the defender clearly doesn't understand why he was playing in 

god these dudes suck... cant execute or come up with a big hit at all.

Play the game with some fucking confidence.

Sano is a slob. Sox hitters really teeing off. 

I’m already over this bit from the broadcast

McCann is lucky. You don't just quit on the play like that. 

Lmao

Ooooof.

Wow wind messing with that ball.. but come on you have to catch that.
