No surprise that they're going with the batting practice jerseys again.
PAUER!!!
SO MUCH PAUER!
Bacon power
Are we in for another roller coast, high scoring game tonight?
I'm hoping Santana will be doing his best Radke impersonation.
High scoring, but not a roller coaster?
Speaking of, I went to a Mallards game last night and was treated to Madison having a 10 run this inning that includes two grand slams. It did make the game take forever though.
Yup.
I'd Santana just, like, not fooling anyone tonight, or what?
Well, he finally got a swinging strikeout.
Dozier want even close on that "swing".
Not. Even. Close.
Why doesnt the home plat ump check with the first base ump on a check swing? Dozier wasnt even close to crossing the plate on that swing
That's been a big problem this year. I've heard a lot of complaints on check swings being called by home plate umps and not just in Twins games.
This comeback is going to be epic.
Somehow I don't think pitch count is going to be Santana's issue tonight.
What the Twins need is someone who can throw a magical zoomball.
Well, hey. Pelfrey's start wasn't that bad, eh?
Kurt Suzuki?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Seems a shame to waste a rare thing like a Suzuki homer in a game where we're getting blown out.
Suzuki?
Well, that was weird.
Berrios with 9 Ks in 7 shutout innings tonight. Probably done after 99 pitches. 5 hits and 1 BB allowed.
Think he's called up before September 1, after, or not at all? I'm thinking after the Red Wings season is over Berrios will be up.
I think you're right, and it's got me excited.
Buxton is 1-for-3 with a walk and a SB.
Maybe the way to look at this is that we're more than two-thirds of the way through the season, and the Twins are still at .500. If someone had told us that at the beginning of the season, we'd have been pleased.
Why is O'Rourke facing righties? I get Santana because he always has the platoon advantage but Gomes is a righty.
Can Glen Perkins pitch 4 innings?
Can the Twins copy curling and just concede from the bottom of the sixth onward?
Rosario!!!!!!
Nine relievers and we're talking about bringing in a position player to pitch?? Not that I don't love watching such a thing, but that's RIDICULOUS.
Can we get two Mauer Pauers tonight?
That was a creepy walk through the halls with Tom Hanneman. Felt very "Twilight Zone".
I'm glad they didn't bring in a position player to pitch here. I love when it happens, but for crying out loud...there are nine pitchers in the bullpen
We got to save Brian Duensing for the important back breaking situation.
random: Kyle Lohse has been around so long, he was involved in a trade for Rick Aguilera.
Going to need an update to the banner
That was a nasty curve for strike 3.
Ah nvm it was a knuckleball.
DANDY CURVE BALL!
Even better, it was a knuckleball
Francisco Liriano hit a 3 run home run today. His first career extra base hit.
No surprise that they're going with the batting practice jerseys again.
