Joe has already launched a home run. Duffy has already gone an inning without giving up a run. I'm willing to call this game a win, either way.

Oofda. That was close on the force.
So, the Clevelanders should totally change their name to the Spiders.
Objective truth.
It's so obvious it annoys me that it didn't happen ten years ago.
How about the Naps?
That would be my daughter's least favorite team of all time.
Okay I giggled in public
I like this home run hitting version of Buxton.
I really like this version of Buxton in general.
Prior to this game, it's his second best seven-game stretch. Only better stretch was at the end of 2015.
Well, i mean, that's... Dispiriting.
If you move it to rolling 20-game window, then it's his best yet. It barely edges out the end of his 2015/beginning of 2016.
Here's a game log!
Good start by Santiago. Not an encouraging one mind you, as he has four walks to two strikeouts.
Chris Herrmann, owner of a .284/.352/.493 batting line for the Diamondbacks, out for the season. Yes, that Chris Herrmann posted an .845 OPS.
Well, that's weird.
It's a good year for former Twins catchers
And Drew Butera is batting .273/.321/.485. And Wilson Ramos is batting .304/.352/.491. It's a good year to be a former Twins catcher (other than A.J.).
How was Mauer expecting Colon to approach him in the 12th?
“Probably not give me a whole lot, to be honest,” he said. “That’s how it’s been.”
Indeed, Mauer has 38 intentional walks in the ninth inning or later. His on-base percentage in extra innings before Saturday was .504, so this notion of Mauer failing in the clutch simply because of his lack of walk-off hits is faulty.

Now THAT is a good diving catch.
WITH. A. STICK!
Joe! That is sll
Doing what I can to battle Mauer hate.
a noble, if futile goal.
Probably, but I refuse to give in to the hate.
Righteous!
