1. This is the sixth career start for Gimenez in fenway

   I can't be the only person that heard that and thought, "well, given the state of our rotation..."

2. PITCHER HOME RUN ALERT

   1. That gives Gimenez 5 dongers to go with 6 pitching appearances. Which does he have more of at the end of the season?

      1. pitching apps.

         1. Good call since 5 is his career high in HRs.

            1. But, but, he's locked in at the plate! I'm going with taters!

3. Holy Gimenez! (Sorry I'm late).

4. Our backup catcher is good for a HR, too.

5. Babe Giminez.

6. I really want to see Berrios at least start the next inning. There's no one in the pen I trust as much as Berrios even at more than 90 pitches.

7. Twins have 8 starts by pitchers with 7+ Ks in a game. Berrios has five of them. Santana has the other three. Prior to tonight, Twins were 7-0 in those games.

8. I think the Twins did a pretty good job getting Sale out of there before the end of the 7th inning. Babe Gimenez is too much of a threat for Sale to face him, I guess.

9. I wonder if Kepler will be playing first base now. He did quite a bit in the minors but I don't think he has in the majors. With a short bench, I wouldn't like the Twins to use up 2 players just for pinch running and defense when trailing in the 7th inning.

   1. I recall he only did that when he was recovering from an arm injury. Seems unlikely that a centerfielder would fill in at first sometimes if he's healthy.

      1. Unless you are a former major college football player punter.

10. I like Berrios being in. I don't like Joe playing first base. That means the Twins only have their backup catcher on the bench, which means he probably won't pinch hit unless it's the ninth inning and we're trailing.

11. thank you matt.
