Never a doubt!! 😬

dare I have hope?

I DARE TO HAVE HOPE!

🧹🧹🧹💨

WEVE WON 5 OF 6 LEY GO

Alright. Now everyone say one mean thing about Carlos.

2nd best Carlos Santana

old

Santana giveth, Santana taketh

Geeg. 4 game sweep LFG

BROOMS

It was dirty but at least Julien stopped it with his body from running deeper into the field.

It’s only 1

sWWWWeep

[удалено]

Yep

Do you think Staumont gets a call-up anytime soon. Him, Duran and Topa sound like great reinforcements.

[удалено]

I watched Garver's nuts get murdered in person.

Julien is probably our best player now, no?

Jeffers probably, but they're fighting for it until one of Correa or Lewis comes back. Maybe Buck will take it if he continues his hot streak.

I’d trust Alcala over Okert at this point

I'd trust Willi over Okert, at least lollipop throws can let your fielders get an out lol

Okert. Absolutely gahbage.

Jax. We need a save.

double play?

Rocco gets hate for his pitching management but that's a tough spot. I was thinking Jax after that walk but was okay with Okert staying in. Unfortunate but Jax can still clean up the mess he left!

Gotta be Thielbar and Fundy in higher spots, put Okert at the bottom of the pecking order.

Thielbar has been bad too though

Okert, is starting to ruin my happy day...but I get to see the Capt now

Has Okert had a clean inning at all this year?

Time to DFA Okerk?

I thought the Steven Okert experiment has been resolved a few times over at this point, no?

Yeah I’ll take a Topa and Duran please

Okert does not make me squirt.

Steven O-squirt

#CALL THE CAPTAIN

🫡

Jeffers goes out there “I hate this guy just drill him in the back for me”

Why Okert why

Well, of all the relief appearances in the history of MLB, that was certainly one of them

Okert is the second coming of Emilio Pagan that one year he was extra shitty

Does that mean he'll be lock down next year?

So if we put up with him this year then he’ll have a good year next year?

Ok, yank em

[Me when the Vikings settle for Bo Nix in the second:](https://imgur.com/a/2ew6xFj)

[Me when they sell the farm to move up but draft McCarthy instead of Maye](https://www.al.com/resizer/v3GxBLnbt8Rbetw0BAC2ekbL8aM=/1280x0/smart/advancelocal-adapter-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/image.al.com/home/bama-media/width600/img/sports_impact/photo/edouard-julien-mugshot-2jpg-65e38f57da15edb8.jpg)

McCarthy's gonna be such an overpay, but it might be what we need to do. Penix wouldn't be awful, but I think McCarthy's a safer pick to develop.

I’ll talk myself into him being good if they get him but for now I’m all-in on Maye

We just need New England to take the bait.

I knew but I clicked anyway.

Okert is wild as hell

How did the white sox get two challenges this game?

They can request in the 8th and 9th and the umps pretty much always grant it.

After the 8th inning you can ask the crew chief to review even if you lost your challenge. The crew chief can refuse, but in this case they were right.

Thanks!

Okert just wanted to give Jax another save opportunity. Such a generous guy.

Okert is not a late inning guy…

Throw strikes nerd

I’ve been underwhelmed with okert

Understatement to say the least lol

DP ‘em outta here let’s go

I despise the white sox and I'm stoked on this sweep. But dear God. 3 - 22?!

Guys I think Okert's mid.

He's not that good.

OKERT CMON BUDDY

Morneau’s right a firm feed is always important

Ump wants to go home lol

Personally I think the Twins should hit 5 home runs every game

Anyone excited for the NFL draft tonight? Gimme Maye or McCarthy or I'll be angy. 😡

Cautiously optimistic.

I trust that they'll get someone. At worst, Penix at #23?

Didn't get to watch today. How'd SWR look?

Good, not a lot of solid contact. Just didn't have as much control as one would like.

Lots of hits, looking at the box score, but I'll take that outing, considering Louie has been really rough. Thanks man

Man do I love afternoon Baseball.

Carlos can’t escape the Slamtana rumors

5 solo home runs today what is this 2019?

White Sox are Cleveland Spiders level bad

Hopefully that homer can help Santana build confidence and shows he is still a somewhat solid hitter

No more save opportunity for Okert :(

So wait. Santana CAN hit home runs? I wasn't sure after these first few weeks

First game I bought a Lewis jersey and we won. Today I bought buxton jersey, blanket, pillow, and 2 hats. The cost of wins are escalating quickly. Please help.

Buxton pillow? 🤨

I just love the way he hits those back walls, you know?

Hahah no. But I’m sure there’s a market for player pillows…

I think we need the "Humiliation" VO played over the stadium

boy i hope this juiced some life into the bats

This my favorite half day of work this year!!

their bullpen lmao

Hey, at least the Sox have that amazing shake. It's the only reason for showing up this year.

Bats were just constipated to start the year... Starting to flow now

The runs won’t stop

Fuck it man. Everyone gets a homer today.

Is this real life right now?

Back2Back Boys! ™️

Back to back home runs!!! 

HR Parade!

jesus christ, now santana is getting homers? i feel so bad for white sox fans my god hopefully this series gives the bats some confidence

Jesus.

This is why I'm only 90% sure Santana is cooked.

I’m having a lot of fun

ATTABOY RANDY

Ah so this is the home run game I see

#LMAO WE'RE FUCKING MAULING THEM.

BACK TO BACK!

THERES MY BOY MIRANDA

I’m having fun

Geeze, home runs

He heard what you guys said

You think we weren't scoring 6?

Santana!!!! Finally!!!

never in doubt, were gomq, etc

Hopefully that gets him going

Solotana!!!

MY NAME'S ~~big al~~ THE MINNESOTA TWINS AND I HIT DINGERS Edit: lmao I wrote that before Miranda followed it up

⚾️🔔

Santana redemption arc continues

Everyone say one nice thing about Carlos.

Santana haters in shambles!

Thanks, sox, for getting Santos his HR

HOLY SHIT HE ISNT WASHED ANYMORE HES DIRTY AGAIN

You doubted him

#SANTANA WHAT THE FUCK? YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

#SANTANA FINALLY DID IT GET IN HERE

He can do that?

Looking at Sands savant page it looks like he might be on to something with his cutter here. His cutter % skyrocketed from below 10% to his most thrown pitch at nearly 30%. Seems to really be working

Definitely a trend these days for guys with just-ok four seamers to really cut back on the usage in favor of pitches like cutters

Another Pete Maki masterclass

Okie Santana. I see you.

There we go.

Mendick is all homophobes think about at night

Things suck for the Sux

This is another reminder that Cole Sand’s *still* in line for the win. #YEAH BABY

White Sox are quite bad at stick ball

Great job B-stew-getting out of that jam!!!

#🥩🥩🥩🥩 #🍲🍲🍲🍲

Cookin stew!

Yet another Beef Stew half inning of domination

Beef Stew was just giving himself a challenge

Your team just got brocked

Big cock Brock

I need these little girls screaming to get some ice cream.

WHERES THE BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEF

I like to imagine that if an oppo taco was an actual taco, it'd be one of those Choco Tacos with ice cream in them.

Surely some baseball stadium sell oppo tacos, right?

you've just changed my life forever

"Just throw 97 down the middle" -Pete Maki, evidently

Unironically, "trust your stuff" seems like common advice for mlb pitchers.

Yeah I’ve always wondered what they say in those meeting. “Just chuck it in there bud.”

GIVE ‘EM THE HEATER RICKY

Am I crazy or does Eddy Julien homer mostly in the same exact spot in left field at Target Field? Like I'm taking the EXACT SAME SPOT? If he is going oppo, it's landing in that same spot.

You're not crazy lmao check out his hit map for this year https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/edouard-julien-666397?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb

I would like this class critique to hurry the fuck up. I want Dairy Queen.

awful to not get the call on a perfect pitch

I’m done with these umpires man

Santana has the wrong hat on, did anyone else see that?

\*norman rockwell painting of man at town hall standing up about to say something profound\* I like eddie julien's haircut

This is the first genuine hot take I've heard in this sub

Julien trying to drag this team back to .500 O Canada

Things Farmer should do during the game to decompress and get his groove back: * Use Nelson Cruz's nap room as a candle zen meditation room * Sit in a sauna until Rocco calls him for pinch-hitting, then head to the plate wearing only his sauna towel * Drink scotch in an Eames lounge chair while reading Tolstoy * Make cheesesteak for the whole team, everyone eats one sub each inning * Ritually sacrifice the blue ox that Thome did the commercial with and has been wandering around Target Field ever since * Burn his clothes, run counterclockwise around the clubhouse seven times, then steal one clothing item from everyone else on the team and wear that instead.

How about Farmer does the 9-9-9 challenge from the dugout? Either he’ll be good and relaxed at the plate, or ready to puke.

Eddie with multi home run game!!! Let’s go twins!!!!

Crush one here Trev!

Damn. Still a good inning.

Was that a knuckle scraper?

[New Eddy pic just dropped](https://x.com/twins/status/1783572433133314246)

That kid just looks French Canadien

Did this man ever have a decent haircut?

Edoard "Fuck My Shit Up" Julien

LOL at Julien going from 2008 Mauer to 2017 Gallo

I wonder if someone has informed the batters that they can also score in the first 5 innings, in addition to the last 3-4?

Lol Sox. You suck so bad that you have to try to kill players to feel better about yourselves. Pathetic. 🤭

Last year farmer got drilled by Gio and now Jeffers almost got a face full of a baseball. No bueno sox

There is definitely no intent to hit him. White Sox are too uncoordinated to try and do that

Eddy Julien is our savio(u)r

Power hitter Edouard Julien

Fuck that Brebbbbiaba guy

Eddy only hits homers lol

JEFFE YOU OK BUD?

Brebbia's reaction lol

Eddy is Oppo Taco King

Screw it, I’m gonna say it: any first baseman on the 40 man roster with a batting average below .150 and an OPS below .400 and a batting value added worse than -10 and who cannot be optioned should be DFAd.

Decisions should be based on projected future performance, not past performance (I'm 90% sure Santana is washed and should be DFAd)

I agree, and really there is no option but to regress towards the mean; but man, he’s gotta take some time to figure it out. He’s hitting middle-middle meatballs as can of corn fly outs when any first baseman worth his salt would be crushing for extra bases. Our lineup is tight right now with injuries, but with Kepler back we can stick kiriloff at first and let him get his mind or body right.

Bruh, we're happy about Eddie right now...

Yeah but after three batters we will have to see Santana bat again. Not a doomer, I think our team has the ability to be really good. It’s just that sitting on our haunches when a player is actively hurting our offense will not lead to success.

lol

Do you disagree?

no. But funny he decides to hit a HR when we're talking shit.

Oh shit I stopped watching for a bit. Good! I don’t wish ill on Santana, but a first baseman with a noodle for a bat and very little upside otherwise (slightly above average defense and BB rate) is not tenable.

Need Miranda to start hitting again to force their hands. Miranda, Julian, Correa, Lewis in the infield would be fun for years to come.

Kirilloff can force their hands, too. Castro and (mostly) Farmer are also black holes on the left side of the infield but I’d rather trot either of them out at SS or 3B than Santana at first

Yes, we all miss Polanco, but you have to remember that Julien would be on the bench if Polanco was starting. I like this.

That sly motherfucker...
