1. No Bert. Roy Smalley taking his place. This makes me happy.

2. Not a homer. Boo Mauer..

   1. Not a double. Dumb.

3. Give Dick Bremer some credit here, he is all over this Replay Rule about when or when not a manager can challenge.

4. Might have to start calling Eddie Rosario "Ribeye"

5. Torii Hunter tried to stretch a single into a double. Was thrown out by about 40 feet. Not even being funny.

   1. I want to smack E Santana upside the head because he's the only reason Pelfrey is starting.

      1. oops! That was supposed to be a reply to the general thread. 🙂

6. "We know E.R.A is not the perfect stat...."

   Something actually said by Dick Bremer.

   I think this is Bizzaro Bremer calling this game.

   1. This is why I prefer the radio.

   2. As a general rule, I think Dick Bremer is better when he's not with Bert.

      1. I don't have cable so I don't catch them as often. But I do like Cory Provus.

         1. Provus/Attaboy booth tonight.

            1. Best of all worlds

         2. I do, too. He'll never be Herb to me, but he's pretty good.

      2. As a general rule, I think Dick Bremer is better when he's not with Bert and Jack Morris

         fixed

   3. Maybe Molitor is having an influence on him too!

7. I wonder if there is an easy way to check this, but it seems like more often than not the Twins will plate runs right after giving up some the inning before.

8. Torii Hunter is a triple away from a cycle.

9. Solo HRs can't hurt you...or help you?

10. How about a K every now and then, huh, Pelf?

11. 5 doubles in 6 innings for the good guys.

    1. I miscounted because Mauer's double was overturned. 4 doubles so far.

12. Schafer actually gets a bunt fair!

    1. And Santana walks! It Isbizzaro night.

13. This is a nightly reminder: effin three year olds.

14. ii is having a fantastic night at the plate.

    RUNSRUNSRUNS!

15. The Cleveland team and the Twins are in reverse roles right now. Cleveland has had a terrible season and the Twins have gotten decent enough pitching and scoring runs and winning games.

    1. I'll take it!

16. Swarzak sighting!

17. Hunter is 4-4 so far. He had just one such game last year in August, all singles.

    1. 9 total bases so far.

       The last Twins player to get at least 10 TB in a game ..... Eddie Escobar Aug 22 2014

18. Five times on base for Hunter. Sixth time in his career he's managed five times on base.

    1. And still a negative WAR for the season! Leadership!

19. 

20. I realize this bandwagon is running hard on cheap ball bearings and rubber bands, but doggonit, I'm having so much fun seeing* all these wins

    *"seeing" meaning that I look at my phone and see the score

    1. That thumbs up thing you can do on that one site.

    2. Go to this page after every game and you can see the condensed game.

       1. This is beautiful! All the baseball, none of the commentary!

          1. Is it just me, or does Kennys Vargas look a lot like a young Papi?

             It probably helps that he's hit 381/435/667 over his last six games....

             1. It hasn't been just you for quite some time now.

                While at spring training, Kennys and Miguel both stood out in a crowd.

21. Did you know that this is the first time since 2010 that the Twins have been four games over .500? We're still on track for 149-13!
