In the continual roller coaster of the Twins season, we are now back on the downward slide. Three losses out of four games against marginal teams has left everyone a little grumpy. Will the Twins bounce back like they have so many times this season and finally put a stranglehold on a playoff berth or is this fatal fall that we’ve all worried about since May? Except for Sano, Twins looking to field a full roster today as Castro back to catching after being in the concussion protocol. Bartolo Colon on the mound for the Twins and they will need a big sexy game from him. Jake Odorizzi brings his pedestrian 7-7, 4.85 record to the Trop for the Rays. Game at 6:10p.
Happy Bartolo Day!
Has anyone asked Top Jimmy if Bartolo's weight is shortening his career?
Can the Twins borrow some runs from Saturday night?
Someone remind Robbie that he's supposed to draw walks
Namen doodah
Well, so much for the "let's get him in the stretch" plan. Buxton and Kepler looked very tentative, like they were thinking too much about the no-hitter.
Wait, no hitter?!
Lucas Duda Twins killer
Rally time!
Thank you second base!
I've seen the ball hit the base a number of times, but I don't think I've seen it bounce that high.
Same. He hit that base square!
Ho hum, another no-hitter broken up by Mauer.
Of course - Joe!
I'm taking this pitching change to say a couple of things. First, I'm making some hummus fritters for dinner. Thanks pepper. Second, the Twins are going to win this game.
One of these couple things was true.
Niblet and I shared a basket of fresh corn fritters at the State Fair last week ... slathered in fresh honey butter.
amazeballs
Woooo!
Sorry Big Sexy, another wasted great start
They've started playing in Fort Myers. 1-1 tie in the top of the third.
SPLASH!
It would be cool if there were baseball devouring piranhas in that pool.
Man, Robbie hammered that ball.
Poor rays.
Grossman terrorizing the rays.
You're welcome fellas.
DON'T SLIDE YOU DOLT. Geez.
I mean, he was going to be out either way, but his chances of getting injured went way up.
into the ray tank. THE TWINS ARE GOING TO WIN THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!)20094tqghu93rhneog[NVdsiv9whNFGNI;LJf/<v figoghtrung t9hq3uipbnj momerd
Dick acting as if Colomé has elite control or something. 3.1 isn't amazing or anything.
Polanco!!
Lame.
Lame. Lame. Lame.
bummer
Eddie, first pitch?!
