    Milone LHP

    Not a terrible day to start Sano at third, but I would think that when Milone does get ground balls, a lot of them will go to third. The way Showalter likes to play match-up, I don't like having three righties in a row. A little surprised Molitor didn't have Hunter bat second and have Plouffe bat fifth with Mauer third.

      1. It was a fly ball to left that carried farther than Rosario thought it would. He got too close to the wall, it bounced back past him and toward the infield. Santana finally picked it up.

  11. Okay, Hunter, you've been one of the main culprits in leaving men on base. Time to change that.

  12. Good job to give Rosario the green light 3-0. It didn't work, but it was still a good idea.

      1. Checking the games and they're all extra-inning games. For a nine-inning game, the record is 20. The Twins nine-inning record is 17, done most recently in 1990.

  14. I toyed with going to the game today and now I wish I had.

    A lot of good performances so far.

  21. ESPN Gamecast is going crazy. So did Joe homer? Gamecast is telling me the Orioles scored to make it 2-2 while it's still in the bottom of the 6th.

    1. Gameday (web and app) is now showing:

      Manny Machado homers (19) on a fly ball to left field. Unknown (0) scores.

      It now says the Orioles actually did score two runs in the first inning and are leading 3-2.

      1. It still looks like Joe was the one to break the internet though. Too much pauer has returned.

  23. Glad to see Molitor sticking with Milone. It may or may not work out, but given the bullpen options, I'm glad to see Milone get the chance to work out of this.

    1. Huh. It hadn't crashed in so long I was wondering if it was fine. Turns out nope. Naturally it started behaving better after I added a cron to check it every two minutes.

  26. I guess since Dozier stole a couple bases early, we had to make sure we got caught stealing a couple of times to even it up.

  27. I step away for a minute and miss a Fryer two-run double. I guess that's why he's up instead of Herrmann.

        1. Today's game makes it eight games. That will be the 20th time this has happened for all teams this year. Last time the Twins have done it was in 2013 from July 9 through 20.

  31. I have a feeling that if we give up enough solo home runs, they may hurt us.

  34. I listened to this up at the cabin. I don't know if it's been the weather or just the crappy internet here, but I couldn't get here without repeatedly being kicked out of my wifi connection. Anyway, this was a good game and I had nothing against it.

    2. I didn't have problems during the Twins game, but I had all kinds of problems when I tried to listen to some other games when the Twins were done. And when I try to listen on my phone, I constantly lose the feed. It does get frustrating.
