Kenta Maeda  on the mound for the Twins and Lucas Giolito for the Sox.

Sox will be looking for back to back wins.

This will be Maeda's second start of the year against the Sox. In his first start, he went 5 innings and allowed 3 runs on 4 hits and 2 walks in a 9-3 Twins loss.

Giolito started against the Twins May 19 and went 8 innings, allowing 1 run on 2 hits, and striking out 11 while walking 3 in a 2-1 win.

Phase 2 of the All-Star voting has begun. Abreu, Moncada and Grandal all have a chance to start. Voting ends Thursday.

Game postponed. Rescheduled as part of a straight DH on Monday 7/19.

The Twins can't gain ground if we don't play!

Lame, wanted to watch baseball tonight. 

What’s it look like for tonight.  I’m driving from SW WI.  We’ll be leaving in the afternoon.  Quick question…advisable to purchase parking in advance?

Makes sense why they wouldn't have planned a doubleheader for today to be honest.

Yeah - last night was still puzzling.  Still think other factors were at play last night - I expect them to try to get this one in.  

The weather should be fine tonight. Wish they would have tried to replace the game today or tomorrow, dying for baseball with three off days in eight days.

You don't need to buy parking in advance. There are plenty of lots

I made this today's thread because it was the easiest way.

Thank you I was on it if you weren't.

It is so muggy out there. What is the over/under on how many times Steve Stone mentions a lively park tonight?

My lineup prediction:

Anderson 6, Goodwin 7, Moncada 5, Abreu 3, Grandal 2, Collins DH, Garcia 4, Sheets 9, Hamilton 8

Weather app radar looks good until at least 7:30.  Hope that holds. Excited to get to a game, even if the Sox aren’t playing their best.  It’s been awhile.  First trip to Chicago for a baseball game for my soph-to-be son.

Lucas is on the mound, so Collins is catching. Thinking Vaughn Hamilton Sheets from left to right.

Want Abreu to rest a bit, but he told Tony yesterday he’s not going to sit.

I think this is close: swap Grandal at 1B, Abreu at DH and Collins C since Giolito is pitching.

does abreu understand that hes hurting the team right now? Larussa needs to show hes the man in charge and sit him for a while until he can heal a bit.

This is like the third time i've entered this thread and saw this post and groaned to myself about another PPD.

For the record, Collins has actually been on a pretty decent hitting spell as of late.  In June he is

.323

.400

.452

.852

You guys think Hamilton is going to play OF ? Remember it was said he would only hit RH when he came back and the Twins starter is RH. If Hamilton is terrible against RHP hitting LH  you think he's going to play against them hitting RH ? I mean he could because can it actually be much worse than him hitting lefty ?

But I'm looking at Vaughn ,Goodwin and Sheets from L to R.

Id like to see this line up today...

TA

Moncada 

Abreu dh

Yaz 1b

Collins  catcher

Goodwin lf

Sheets rf

Leury 2b

Hamilton cf
