Im glad I will be able to watch tonights game, I watched maybe 20 pitches and I was down for the count. If the Twins can get to 5 games before the All Star Break that would be wonderful.
On a non-Twins related note, I thought this was a good article from Deadspin:
You Don't Forget Albert Pujols
great start to the game!
This Jake Cave fella seems pretty decent at base balling.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PaueRRR!
We definitely don't get to use that enough
I took a break from the dishwasher installation and checked the box score, and was pleased to see Joe had a hit and a walk. Then I saw the score had changed, and suddenly Joe's line had encountered an inflationary period. Boom!
I don't think eight runs will be enough.
good grief
Nice header image with Rivas and Dustan.
Dozier on second with no outs, and I really wish Provus wouldn't mention the bunt, even when he says it's not in play with Escobar up. He's already in scoring position.
And a single brings him in.
Provus Gordo'ed literally his 3rd (maybe even 4th) ball of the game.
"There it goes! Deep and back! It's... off the wall!"
I gotta say. I want Buxton back and all, but Cave is holding down the fort pretty well. I wouldnt mind him as a backup outfielder.
Improvement over Lamarre. Good D too
He could end up as the starting RF.
Twins went the first 79 games of the season without scoring 10+. They have done it 3 times in the last 12.
Apparently, the official scorer decided to invoke the "we'll give the win to whoever we damned well please" rule to give the W to Hildenberger. Can't say i blame them.
That is the actual rule when the starter doesn't go 5 but leaves with the lead and the bullpen maintains it. Hildy was definitely the best of the Twins relievers.
