I like Duffy playing with expectations by blowing the ball by some folk when they're likely looking for the curve.
Stupid ball bouncing over the fence.
Herrmann is batting at a nearly Buteran level.
YDNROER!
YDNROER!
I really mean, why are you running on Eddie Rosario?
Rosario has a cannon for an arm.
That throw a week or two ago to home plate was better than this one, but still. Absolute cannon.
A pitcher who can paint the corners is known as a Rembrandt

Did Provus just say of Kiermaier "It's not like he's some guy who's forty years old and runs like he's got a piano on his back"? I wonder who that could refer to?
Willie McGee, age 16.
This game seems to be moving a bit faster than the one last night.
I had pretty much forgotten that Blaine Boyer was still on the team.
You sleep better at night for it, too
Eddie Escobar!!!!!!
Esco-bomb!
Angels being no-hit by Verlander in the sixth. Toronto and Texas tied in the third.
I'm watching this with the Tigers' feed.
I think any announcer that won't do his or her job and tell me that a pitcher has not allowed any hits needs to be replaced.
Time for a triple play.
Final line for Jose Berrios: 7.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 12 SO. 98 pitches, 65 strikes. The 12 strikeouts are the second most of his career.
Please, please, please call him up for even just one start.
In his last four starts, Berrios has 39 strikeouts and 2 walks in 27 innings pitched.
good lord.
Rays load the bases with no outs and score zero runs. TWINS BASEBALL!!!
No bad words about Duensing for a little while, he's earned at least that
Buxton is fast.
Well, this is unconventional.
Now it's the Twins' turn.
TWINS BASEBALL!!
Regardless of the outcome, at least Archer is out of there.
Watch Joe Mauer hit a grand slam here
Or a busted bat blooper for an RBI
hardest hit ball of the inning.
Verlander still with a no-hitter through 7. Tigers up 5-0 on the Angels.
Toronto just took a 4-2 lead on Texas. If current scores hold up, the Twins will be all alone in the second wildcard spot.
Shocker, Duensing gives up a homer to Longoria.
I have zero confidence Blaine Boyer will get outs.
He should be well rested.
Chris Ianetta (?) breaks up Verlander's no-hitter with a leadoff double in the ninth. Tigers still up 5-0.
"Announced attendance 9,205"
actual attendance? 5,000
ESCOBAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gameday is all screwed up. It's telling me that Escobar has homered twice in one game.
I like 3-hit games by Joe Mauer.
I like coming out of a meeting to the Twins being ahead (especially so when they weren't when the meeting started).
They must not trust Perkins yet
Minnesota closer Glen Perkins was unavailable due to lower back spasms.
''It's not going to be long,'' Perkins said. ''It kind of locked up on me on Sunday. I think today we got over the hump.''
Hopefully they can get to Archer.
This Archer fellow clearly doesn't know how to pitch to contact.
I wish the Twins would hit to contact a little more.
I wonder what the record is for combined strikeouts in a game.
31

2nd wild card spot!
SIX game win streak!!!!!
Still undefeated with Buxton/Sano starting.
I really like this fact.
