With Deduno on the DL, the Twins need to give Hendriks the rest of the season to prove whether he can be even a mediocre starter.

Darvish pitching... what's a solid over/under on Twins batters strikeouts? 12.5?
I'll take the over.
Where would you set it? I guess I was thinking just for Darvish, probably should give the bullpen a least a couple.
12.5 is a good number
probably 15.5 for the game.
this is the first time I will be able to watch a full game since Sunday
well, that is if I can stomach the stench of a Mauerless lineup
Klete gone on three pitches. Shocked it took three pitches.
two Bugs Bunny curveballs. not fair
just saw the replay at the Wilken Ramirez broken tibia injury...OUCH
a peanut butter and jelly ice cream sundae..... yeah not for me.
there goes the perfect game, no hitter, shutout.
Bummaville, Ark.
Ramos and Valencia with homers tonight.
Show-off triples, we call those.
swag out.
FSN Girl Jenny is moving.
boo, she was the only FSN Girl with some personality.
Saw her in a Big Lots ad a few days ago.
um...I'm afraid I don't know that euphemism
Bad catch attempt by Florimon.
Liam Hendriks doesnt know how to win.
them's some power-packed K's tonight -- I'm predicting big things
oh my gosh...that 65 mph curveball.... wow
61 mph
mercy
NO HITTER WARNING
Darvish - 78 pitches, 10k
ridiculous
That's nearly 8 pitches per K. At that rate, he'll never break the record.
Joe Mauer usually breaks these up. 🙁
Don't worry, we've got....ummm...errrrr
Mauer, Herrmann both catchers!
Dozeball.
Doziersie!!!
That's almost like a hit. I'll take it!
Now that's how you break up a no-hitter!
HHEELLLL YYEEAAHH HHRRMMAANN!!!!!
Now that's how you break up a nno-nno.
SMASHIE! SMASHIE!
holly moses Morneau hit that one to Mexico
Holy balls!
Cmon Hammer keep the trend going.
crax. Just a minute too late.
One week does not make an anniversary.
that was a strike to Plouffe??
who is on the teevee broadcast? Smalley? Coomdog?
Smalley
Yu gone.
not bad
Plouffe pulls a Jeremy Giambi.
that was a heck of a play
but why was Plouffe not sliding?
Joe Schultz. WW.
WTF Plouffe?
smart take by Smalley, good camera angles showing Mastro telling Plouffe to do something other than 'get down'
Mastro's rehab mullet took away his baseball common sense.
Donnie Baseball would be benching him about now. Two bonehead plays.
GLOVE SAVE AND A BEAUTY
Mastroiani not so masterfully there.
Yeah, he looks a bit rusty.
sawed off.
Nice.
That was some Twins-esque baserunner stranding.
FSN talking up Roenicke's ERA since All-Star break (1.29) while conveniently ignoring that a third of his inherited runners have scored.
League average is 30%. Twins have the league worst with 35%; Roenicke was at 36% over the above time span before today's appearance.
Wow. We've had some crappy baserunning this game.
Was anybody else surprised to not see Baker square up to bunt against Perkins?
Hendriks learns how to win.
baseball is a funny game
the Twins have no business winning this game, yet here we are.
puppies!
Perkins automatic.
Puppies!
Darvish moves from ninth to seventh for best SO/9 by a starter in a season.
Liam Hendricks beats Yu Darvish in Texas. One of the biggest upsets of the year as the Twins were +360. Meaning if you had bet $100 on the Twins tonight you would have walked away with $360. Most lines are around 125-150.
straight cash homey
That's a point.
here is what a 61mph curveball pitch looks like
I was just coming here to link to that. Woof.
And on a related note, doesn't the pitcher have to stay in contact with the pitching rubber until he releases the ball? Am I making up rules in my head now? Probably.
hmmm, maybe. the one time this year Bert Blyleven was breaking down pitching mechanics, he was stressing the pitcher should push off the rubber. If you are pushing off, your foot would not be on the rubber when releasing
physically difficult to stay in contact with the rubber until release.
Just as we all expected, Liam Hendriks showed Yu Darvish how it's done, Chris Herrmann was the herro, Morneau moved into third on the Twins home-run list, and we cruised to an easy victory. We're still on track for 87-75!
