It's getting really hard to be positive about this team.
Coming into this game, Donaldson had 104 career plate appearances against the Twins. His slash line is: .380/.452/.707/1.158
ye gads
IBB every time would lower the OPS.
He's no Peter Bourjos.
Well, one inning and we're still ahead. Only need to get 24 more outs!
Only 23 outs to go!
Only 22 outs to go!
Please don't give Donaldson anything good to hit.
Well, shoot.
😥
Provus: "Through two innings these two teams have combined for nine runs on nine hits."
Well, I guess that's one way to look at it.
After an aberration in the first, the Twins offense appears to be back to its usual form.
Awfully quick hook for Duffey. I know, six runs in two innings, but still, I'd like to have seen him given a longer chance to get his feet on the ground.
His Era is still two digits though
Atteberry: "The Twins exploded for three runs in the first."
You know you're not scoring much when three runs is an "explosion".
Time to find something else to do.
Huh. Okay, bye.
Oh, yay.
Too soon for GOSO?
I GOSO'd at Donaldson's two run homer on Monday.
At least that Sano dinger was rad.
BAM.
Sano'd.
The Dunceman cometh.
How many runs will we be down at the end of this inning?
No one on base soooo, over/under of 1.5.
I will take the over.
5 straight balls. That's useful.
LOOTBGY
The end of bath time for C lines up nicely with games that start at reasonable times so we let him watch two pitches to distract him to put on a shirt. I wasn't paying attention to the count so today's second pitch was Duensing's four-pitch walk. While carrying him to his room, C waved goodbye* to Duensing. If only it was actually true.
* He always waves but today's was extra appropriate.
ye of little faith.
Hendriks more proof that any failed starter must be tried as a reliever before giving up on them.
Milone might have done better starting tonight
And when the Twins DO score runs, it's in a game where the starter craps his pants. No quality start loss this time around
If either one of Dozier's rockets off his bat fell in for a hit, this game might have been completely different. Oh well. As crazy as it sounds, I'm real excited for Duffey's next start. He showed better stuff than I thought he had. Makes me kind of wonder why he didn't have more strikeouts in the minors. Fortunately, he won't have to pitch to the Jays at their field anymore. They've got an .833 OPS at home before tonight's game. That's basically facing an entire lineup of Doziers.
As much as that sucked, Hawkins completed a save against his 30th team, making him the 10th pitcher to do so. So that's kind of cool.
Hustle, Hustle, everywhere!
Also, Miguel Sano is strong to even get that ball out of the infield
Is this what offense looks like?
Wow! Multiple runs! Awesome!
And then we let them off the hook.
