Sorry, gang, this last week has been kinda awful. Thankfully the bruises are finally fading.
Anyway, it's a Berríos night, so even though it's only the Royals, we've do have a chance to make an entirely undeserved five game win streak. Sweet!!

I wouldn't say "undeserved". Somewhat unimpressive, maybe. But you can only play the team on your schedule, and the way we've been going, I'm happy to be able to beat anybody.
No Cave-Man. No A-Stud.
But B_bby Wils_n.
Good first inning for Berrios.
Always like to start the Twins part of the game with a Mauer single.
Starting with two hits is even better!
Following with two strikeouts is not nearly as good.
Well, we made him throw a lot of pitches, I guess.
We don't have a better DH option than Garver?
We have to DH Garver so we can keep Wils_n in the lineup.
Two of Herrera's foul balls that at bat ended up within ten feet of me
Alcides Escobar's terrible bunt was on his own. He had looked down to third base and the coach gave him no signs besides a clap.
It's never good when the third base coach gives you the clap.
Right, especially if he's Jimmy Dugan
Given his constant vigilance, I'd be surprised if he was the source.
Dazzle says we got a break on the called third strike. Ned Yost seems to agree.
Playing "Camptown Races" when Duda struck out was a nice touch.
Also, Yost should realize this strike zone has been just as "high" with Duffy on the mound.
I noticed the Camptown Races, too.
Ok, fangraphs shows that it was much worse
Ned Yost was really mad.
Not a lot of hitting with men in scoring position tonight.
WilS_n.
Well, we'll take it. It's nice to have somebody on the other team get picked off for a change.
Good on the Twins for not botching the Pride Night Kiss Cam
Jeremy Duffy gives way to Jeremy Hill
BObby WilsOn - doubles machine!
But will it take 3 hits to score Bobby from second?
Not if they bring in the Caveman!
Willians Astudillo has donned the tools of ignorance.
Psych!
Tie game!
Man, Rosario shouldnt have been swinging at pretty much any ofnthose, but he can spoil a pitch he has no business swinging at better than just about anyone on the team.
Now would be a good time for double number 36.
That'll work, too.
Molitor opts for Hildenberger hitting over A-Stud doing what he's done 245 times in the minors.
what's the point of having a third catcher if you'd rather have a horrible defensive catcher in the game and lose the DH?
Mauer v Mauerer
Joe's five plate appearances (balls excepted):
One called strike, then a single
Two called strikes, then a foul tip
Two called strikes, then a groundout
One called strike, then a single
Two called strikes, then a single
No wasted swings!
In case I haven't stressed this enough, Fernando Rodney's entrance is beyond amazing.
Hoping his exit is, too
The arrow arroved safely at its destination.
Missed the elves?
Oh, it was better than advertised. I’m thrilled to have seen it in person, and I think I was close enough to hear Dick shouting, “get off my lawn”.
