Would have been nice to score some runs earlier. At least we know they don’t quit.

I had turned it off after 8 hoping I could bring them some luck by ignoring them. I then followed a bit in the 9th but only on catching updates on the box score while I was working on the computer. I then saw the game was over at 6-4. I had no idea the final out by Robert had been reviewed and overturned until I came to this thread. Would have been awesome if Sheets could have singled to win the game. I'd have been seriously confused and probably forced myself to not watch another game for at least a week.Riding Shotgun on the Sox Bandwagon since before there was an Internet...

I was at the game. The mood was not despondent during the game (99% of the people around us were Sox fans, but there were Angels fans at the park. I guess some SoCal people wanted to get away from sunny and warm weather for a weekend).
The bottom of the 9th was pretty exciting to witness, came close to being a Top 5 game for me (along with the 7/31/91 Robin Ventura Game and Game II of the World Series, among others).
Oh, Trout is kinda good at this Baseball game thing.
We'll get them tomorrow.
Oh, when the First Base Ump went 0-4 from New York, I told my buddy that somewhere Angel Hernandez was laughing (I did not see who was in the crew, but figured the odds were against him being one of the Umps).Last edited by Dumpjerry; 05-01-2022, 07:14 PM.

All that "too good to fail" talk heading into this season isn't aging well. I'm no fan of how Keuchel is performing, but the problems go well beyond him. Teams that wait until the 9th to start scoring runs usually don't win regardless of who started the game for them.

In this case, taking Keuchel off the active roster requires one of the following:
- an IL stint; or
- designated for assignment, followed by release
And in either case they are still on the hook for his 2022 salary.
The only way to get out of paying his salary is either trading him to another team, or releasing him and another team picks him up. And in the case of the latter, such a hypothetical team would likely only pay him the veteran minimum, requiring the Sox again to pay the remainder of his contracted salary.
I don’t know that JR is willing to eat that much money for a player no longer on the roster.

Because the playoff roster is different - the full amount of his 2021 salary was already paid.

This team needs to wake up. 10 days ago we were tied for 1st and now we're 4.5 out. Hopefully the 9th inning almost-comeback is the beginnings of a turnaround, but the Twins aren't going to just roll over and this team can't continue to stumble. If we lose too much more ground in the next few weeks, it's going to be difficult to make that up.
