vs. Twins 9/1

[gmelson26]

Lough has hit .345/.387/.414 since the all-star break. Haven't been able to figure why he's not getting some more playing time.

I wish they had traded for a better left fielder. Wasn't Alejandro De Aza available?

I'd love to laugh at this, but I am currently punching myself in the head.

De Aza makes that play, and he hits ovee .400 lifetime off Hughes.

Yeah it's not like the balls are being crushed off the bats or anything like that. Manny makes that play, but that ball to 3rd was destroyed, it wasn't weak contact.

Major League players shouldn't let balls go between their legs.

Meltdown inning for Gausman there. I thought he had it rolling and he did, but came a little unglued. He just lost some fastball command and without a breaking pitch he's screwed when that happens.

Had nothing to do with Gausman. Had to do with unfortunate defense.

Yeah, but the White Sox GM wanted two minor league players for him. DD thought it was too much to give up for de Aza, so he passed on the deal.

Er...

Wait...

Forgetaboutit. This team can't hit in daylight.

They scored 12 runs in daylight yesterday.

[El Gordo]

Buck may still be upset that De Aza did not make the flight.

Excellent reason to blow a game.

Gausman is a fine young pitcher just the way he is.

Win or Lose... Gausman is having a good game.

Apparently it was his "turn" today?

Well, he has to be somewhat responsible, balls were mashed, it wasn't flukey weak contact.

[Mendoza Line]

We've hit some hard outs off Hughes

[Ruzious]

Wanting to see Gaus not panicking in this type of situation.

You can't always get what you want. But if the defense was there, he might have gotten what he needed.
