CentralChamps21 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 With Pineda pitching I'm expecting: Anderson 6 Eaton 9 Moncada 5 Mercedes DH Lamb 7 Vaughn 3 Grandal 2 Hamilton 8 Madrigal 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Another win by the Sox this evening guarantees that the Twins keep sole possession of last place in the AL Central for another day...and yes I did really enjoy typing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superchops70 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Yes. Definitely. Or they go after Anderson to get it over with right away. What do they have to lose at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do they have to lose at this point? They'll look for a "catalyst" to jump-start them, so they can point to it and be like "when we stood up to those big mean bullies playing baseball when we were trying to just lose like clowns, we really were able to get back to 8 games back". 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do they have to lose at this point? They can lose Pineda, one of their best SP, for the game in the first inning and further destroy their already terrible bullpen. I think Yermin takes one in the back at some point in this game, but I would be surprised they went after TA or frankly anyone early in the game.

harkness99 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 if they do hit someone because of mercedes home run- here is what the team should do in response - Everyone in the dugout and on the field just laugh hysterically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralChamps21 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I'm waiting for the day when instead of charging the mound right after getting hit intentionally, someone goes down to first, waits until the pitcher is delivering the next pitch, and THEN charges the mound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In these situations, I want a team to proactively wear a temporary target patch (with "AIM HERE" lettering on it) on the side of their sleeve or jersey/pants as a passive-aggressive approach. Every HBP results in a team celebration from the dugout; it would drive the other side crazy within an inning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpringfieldFan Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Regarding whether Mercedes, or TA gets plunked...I don't doubt it happens but it does concern me. I don't want anything to wind up in suspensions for our guys, much less injuries if benches clear or anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why if they Sox do get thrown out no fucking warnings just immediately toss Pineda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, you see that in hockey - one guy wants to start a fight to fire up his team, but the other guy needs to accept. You see it more often now where the player from the team that is already cruising and doesn't need a spark will turn down the fight. And that's the difference with baseball - we don't get a chance to be like "no thanks", they'll just drill a player if they want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Yermin gets hit in the tush, I hope he just goes to first without saying a word. It’s stupid that they’d retaliate over this, but the Sox have bigger fish to fry.

SpringfieldFan Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Bat Grandal right ahead of Yermin. He draws his obligatory walk and then they are stuck pitching to Yermin with 1B occupied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamhock Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) I also request fun/obnoxious arrivals to first base after any HBPs; moonwalks, slo-mo sprinting, Fargo/Flair strut, etc. Alternately, they could over-sell every HBP like Bugs Bunny in the giant sandwich: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5kb5oa?start=390 Edited May 18, 2021 by Hamhock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
