Sorry, I just like it when it's 11:11. Anyway, some good ol' boys from Texas are in town, and that's about all the time I have to tell you about it.
Enjoy the game!

That inning was quite a bit better than the last few have been for Duffy.
That's the Duff Man we like to have pitching for us!
Provus and Dazzle were talking about the Buxton demotion. For all that we keep hearing about how Buxton needs to learn and work through things and all that, we never hear anything that the Twins coaching staff has done to help him learn and work through things. Now, for all I know they may have tried everything possible and it just hasn't worked. I have no idea what they may or may not have done. I just think it's odd that we never hear anything about it.
Can't really expect 'em to give up the secret recipe for coaching/managing to 5/6 90+ loss seasons now can we!??!
A wild pitch. How unusual.
Four shutout innings for Duff Man!
E!R!
I could be wrong, but I think Polanco's triple probably worked out better than if he'd bunted.
Okay, single-plus-error. I still think it worked out better than a bunt.
The Carlos Gomez trade finally seems to be paying some dividends for the Twins.
Gomez channeling his Danny Santana out there
Glad he misplayed that, ...and that, but I always liked Go-Go.
Me, too.
Rough night in the field for Gomez.
Nice D, Go-Go!
Looks like the pitcher said "What the [bert] are you looking for!?"
That was hilarious. That needs to be made into a GIF.
The announcers keep saying what a great base stealer Danny Santana is. He's 12-for-21 this season. That's not helping.
Yeah, there was only one Nunez on the team, and the rest are coin flips or better
They're probably thinking of his first 2 seasons when he was nearly 80% at 28-for-36. Not sure why so many CS this year. I'll say this for Santana, he's improved his K/BB rate even better than his fluky rookie season. He's at 44/11 this year (not counting this game). he was more than 10/1 last year and about 5/1 his rookie season. He's dropped his strikeouts to about average and has improved his walk rate, although it is still below average.
So what you're saying is that Santana won't be completely useless by about 2021?
What in the world was Sano doing there?
This inning has not exactly been an artistic success on either side.
Hrbek and Aguilera are sitting together two rows behind the plate.
It seems like we've been able to get double plays at good times a lot lately. I like it!
At a previous job, we had to sign and date job tickets. My favorite date was November 11, followed by the first of that month and January 11. My date would look like Woodstock's speech bubbles. The time didn't work out as well thanks to those two dots.
Another win while scoring 3 or fewer - this is getting easy!
Weird, some of our starters have records approaching. 500
And the only thing better than a win is a win in only 2:18
We're still on track for 96-66!
