  1. We've got this going for us, which is nice.

    Legendary speed from Byron Buxton. After stealing second, the throw went into CF and Byron scored. Yes, he scored.

  2. Yeah, he wasn't trying to hit you. But if you want to charge the mound it will make the game more exciting...

    1. Ive been in and out of the game, and of course Dazzle is calling the radio stuff

      so what happened? Did a Twins pitcher actually intentionally hit a batter?

  3. I understand that, when things aren't going well, managers get creative and try some things. However, having watched the last couple of games closely, I have concluded that the current strategy of not scoring runs in the first seven innings is a bad idea. Granted, the Twins tried a variation on it last night, where they did not score runs in the first eight innings rather than the first seven, but this did not seem to work any better. I really think the if Gardy would tell the team to go ahead and score runs in the first seven innings, and in fact to score a lot of runs in those innings, the Twins would have a better chance to win. This one minor strategic change should set things to rights and get the club on the winning track again. We'll just have to settle for 88-74!

      1. I think so. We have fourteen games left against the top three wild-card teams, so they all have guaranteed losses in those games. Besides, once we go on a winning streak, some of the other teams are sure to fold. It'll be a little closer than I expected, but we should still make it.
