This is a playoff game. Play like it. I want to see high intensity and the long, grueling at bats to continue. It'd also be nice if we converted on RISP more this series...

I think this series is huge. I'm not saying we HAVE to take 2 of 3. We do need 1 and we need to be competitive in the other 2.

If we get owned like we have been it'll be very disappointing. Tonight is big bc we have the type of pitching match up we should win.

Big game tonight. Love to see Giolito shut them down after getting lit up in game 1.

Another Lefty starter to feast on like...

Rich Hill goes all the way back to 2006, pitching to Michael Barrett when AJ slid into home.

I know the Twins are struggling but it seems like they put 10 up against the Sox in every game. I hope they don't have something on us.

Yeah, it’s time to put an end to that shit.

need Tim and Grandall to snap out of their slump.  Hoping it's just that they dont play well during day games (Moncada has a similar issue)

Feels like a playoff game. LFG Sox!

Wow hyped up after that NSC intro! Very good!

69 degrees in Minnesota... #nice.

Gio best get that zone

About as bad as an AB as Abreu will have

Yikes. 

Good lord, Abreu...that was about as bad of an AB as you can have, against a soft tossing guy.

Bad approach that inning. Gotta hit his fastball, not his curve.

That 11 pitch first.

Sox go quickly 123

Well, gonna be a long night if they keep taking fastballs and swinging at the curve

what the fuck kind of atbats were those, are you shitting me?

40 yr old Hill

Robert is golden sombrero candidate tonight if he does same

So a usually first pitch swinging team, doesn’t swing at these first pitch 89 mph fastballs? 

Dont overthink it boys and just do what you do. 

Hoping Gio makes Johnny Van Der Meer famous again.  

Kepler went deep off Giolito first pitch last outing he faced them. Nice to see that good start off there.

Already a better start than the first game of the season!
