Kyle Gibson
v
Tim Lincecum
Lincecum isn't the pitcher he once was. He's still getting strikeouts but now the hits are falling in and the walks are up. His FIP is decidely better than his ERA, the same as last year. Cain must not have shared his FIP-beating ways with him.
I'm predicting some RF splash time from our lefties tonight.
Found an eBay card of Twins player Orlando Garcia; one of the better ones I've seen.
I'm excited for this game.
And right on cue.... Dozier!!!
GAH Dozier almost had a lead off HR
...and then gets picked off
just toying with them
Mauer shouldn't have had Dozier picked off like that. Boo.
Just poor leadership all around.
Mauer's TWTW+ this season at an awful 80.
That sort of thing isn't going to raise it.
I see that Liam Hendricks made his triumphant return tonight, and now has half as many wins for the Blue Jays that he did for the Twins.
still toying with them...
...toying...with...them...
this inning kind of blows

Is Dazzle using this game as a demo tape for a job in the Giants' booth?
That suh-hucked. Timmy is vulnerable. Gotta stop letting him off the hook.
Dozier and Mauer know the score
Giants squawkers talking OPS.
Can't wait till Monday when the Twins have a stint in Arlington. The Rangers are on my Fox Sports. It'll be the first Twins game I've seen since Opening Day (minus the odd MLB.tv free game)
In your shoes now, mags.
So they are. Thanks for the assist. Either way-whoo Twins on tv!
That was supposed to be in reply to hd. Dumb phone
Same difference as far as TV is concerned but those games are at Target Field.
MMMauer!
The Chairman triples and the people rejoice.
Triple shot of Joe!
Parmashift ribeye.
all Brian Dozier does is score runs.
oh and Mauer tripled
Kubelated.
E6cobar.
Like the walks. Keep 'em coming, Tim
thats one way to get a man to third base
oh. my. gawd.
why
Weird to put the contact play on with a guy that can barely make contact.
Who the hell calls the contact play with the oitcher up? Good lord. The way Lincecum is pitching?
Absolutely awful managing, Gardy. Letting Lincecum off the hook.
Time for bed. Well, don't forget -- SEND HIM!!
I hope he got marinara with that meatball.
Joe Wheels
And an Uno. Parmalee should be fined.
Yeah, there's no excuse for that
Escobar's chance to be a hero.
or goat
And...no.
A lot of times, I'll chalk up a loss to "well, cant win them all"
But tonights game feels like the Twins gave the game away.
Gibson threw two room-service pitches for dongers....
Hey, a Gay Rear sighting!
There is that. But, that contact play with Gibson at the plate was stooooopid.
Dozier led off the game with a double, then got picked off
Fielding was not crisp in the first part of the game.
Just havent seen too many games like that this season.
