Sox/Twins 8/31-9/2

[ChiSoxFan]

keuchel should have been able to go more than 5. disappointing.

85 pitches total to boot

 

[idseer]

shit

 

[ChiSoxFan]

Cordero coming into this inning had given up at least a hit an inning. He then grooves a pitch to MN's random man for a triple.

 

[ChiSoxFan]

Now the Twins are all pumped up and shit. Deflating.

 

[ChiSoxFan]

Good move by TA to cut the runner down, who should not have been running on contact.

 

[idseer]

it's ok. time to put up a 3 spot!

 

[ChiSoxFan]

Need something redeeming from Mazara here.

 

[idseer]

empty

 

[idseer]

why still cordero?

 

[idseer]

just damned stupid to let cordero start the 7th.

This was a shitty and very avoidable loss.

It's particularly tough when you lose from behind. Oh well, let's hope that Lopez can find his game tomorrow. He's up against a tough opponent in Berrios.

He's been cruising until the 6th and then getting hit hard in every single start. 3rd time through the lineup has killed him. So, I get it, sort of.

Yeah, I've basically already counted the series as an L. We dropped 2/3.

Zero reason to think Lopez doesn't get pulverized. It will probably be 5-0 before you get settled into your seat.

Only positive about the matchup is that Berrios has struggled this year and we clobbered him on opening day. We'll have to win the one 10-8 or something.

Twins offense doesn't pulverize anyone these days.

I mean, Lopez is sooo bad. He walks so many guys and falls behind in so many counts. K's absolutely nobody. You're not exactly going to have to light the world on fire to post a lot of runs. There will always be guys on base and the ball will always be in play.

Ha we did knock him out in the 1st inning early but we were way different at that point.

All things considered tonight should be an interesting rubber match.

Berrios has been mostly terrible but always has potential. Lopez sucks but the Twins offense hasnt crushed anyone. Donaldson supposed to be back.

I'm doubting this game is a complete pitchers duel but I think all other options are on the table. Either 1 team crushed the other or its a complete slug fest of inept pitching.

Was just too tired last night to stay up for the game after staying up for Monday's. Sad story. Hard staying up on east coast every night when I'm up early to run too. I miss central time.

I only saw about 5 innings...but Twins left 11 on base and went 2-10 with RISP...Box score kinda tells a "we're lucky we didn't get clobbered" story...

Pretty much. Sox started off with a bang but ended up pretty flaccid.
