Jose Abreu Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Intriguing pitching matchup. Perhaps the only game that will be played this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan49 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) Rain tomorrow, 5-7" of snow Sat-Sun. Making up 3 games should be fascinating. Sox win tonight 5-4, BTW. Edited April 12, 2018 by soxfan49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn’t rain, but they still could have postponed for cold vs a division team that’s coming back. Playing under 40 degrees when the team is coming back is dumb.

Or better yet, why not Milwaukee? It's closer There's a roof, and the Brewers are away this weekend in New York. Weather isn't supposed to be all that great in Chicago this weekend either, at least not for playing baseball. I think they made these kinds of accommodations for the Astros last year after the hurricane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they made these kinds of accommodations for the Astros last year after the hurricane. Because the Twins are never going to punt 3 or 4 home games. Why would they? I'm going tonight (I live in Mpls). I have tickets to all 4 games. See basically no chance Friday and Saturday gets played. Sunday should be clear of rain and snow by 10am-noonish, but it will be 30 degrees and will have precipitated for the better part of the previous 48 hours. So there is a chance for Sunday, but probably worse than a coin flip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there is a chance for Sunday, but probably worse than a coin flip. Agree that Milwaukee isn’t a good option now. This isn’t like when teams have to move for hurricanes. They have a common off date on June 4th to play two, and they should just play two on the 6th or 7th also. Them sticking around until Sunday to play in brutal conditions doesn’t make much sense. Play tonight, and come home is the common sense move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 speaks a lot to Yoan's talent that he's had bad luck and looks really bad at the plate and he's still got a 651 OPS. He's #1 in exit velocity, which is impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sir Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Love that Benetti calls a .200 BA a “misnomer” when talking about a guy who strikes out twice in every five plate appearances. Jason is a damn moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moncada and Abi obviously do not like batting 1 and 2 in the lineup. Seems Hahn/Ricky are trying to hide some of our weaker hitters. Just let Yolmer or Leury lead off even if they are not ideal candidates either. Or Saladino. Let him play for 2 weeks and see if he gets good. Seems dumb to let Moncada and Avi suck when they are good hitters. Edited April 13, 2018 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
