With the win last night, it guarantees the Twins will be at or above .500 at the All Star Break. I would have never guessed that during Spring Training.
Felix Jorge starts tonight. He showed enough in his last start to at least get a second and third try. Kevin Gausman o for the O's. In his last 5 starts against the Twins, he has pitched 24 innings and surrendered 18 runs. I like our chances for a W tonight!
Wow. The ball is carrying tonight, that's for sure.
Vargas hits a ball harder than either of the O's home runs and instead of it carrying out, it hits off the wall and he's thrown out oversliding second base. FWIW, I think he should be credited with a double since he gained second base then was thrown out when he came off the bag, so technically, he should be out attempting to go to third.
COLON SIGNED A MINOR LEAGUE DEAL WITH THE TWINS!?!!!!!!????!!! 11111
If you want to help a team at least marginally in contention and you want a chance to be able to pitch, there's probably not a better team to sign with than the Twins. The Twins really have nothing to lose. I suspect Jorge will be sent down after this game and will be given the Berrios speech that he needs to have better command of his fastball.
welp
Welp?
The Twins have rallied for at least 7 runs since that post.
welp!
Bartolo Colon is so old, Paul Molitor hit 2-8 against him
Bartolo Colon is so old there are Batgirl haikus about him.
leadoff triples are sexy.
Our best chance is to rally quickly before they know what hit them.
yeah, like that
Well, this turned around.
An hour too early! I got home just in time to miss all the scoring.
I love Sano's rifle for an arm at third base.
Anyone watching, was that out at home as bad as it reads on gameday?
I was foolishly preparing a challenge for my baseball-themed Survivor season, and missed the play.
But hey, Buxton!
Yes.
Byron! Nice
So fast!!
Ah, the speed of Buxton. If he's hitting for real now, this is going to be fun.
Pre-AS Game stat padding time, Brandon
They keep playing like this for the next few weeks, the FO may be forced to go bigger than Colon-type pickups.
As long as they get to keep playing the Orioles.
Who's bigger than Colon?!
A literal LOL on that one.
Getting Rauch out of retirement?
