All Star Game in the rear view mirror. Trade talks getting dicey. Milwaukee fans acting douchy. Game 99. Wow, where has the season gone?
Twins in their second game against Toronto as they put Jose Berrios on the mound. Berrios has been a bright spot for the 2018 Twins and has been everything I would want from a 24 year old pitcher. Let's hope he continues to improve. Toronto with a new guy Ryan Borucki, who has only pitched 23 innings this year but is getting about a strikeout an inning.
Fun fact: Today's starting pitchers are only 2 months apart in age. 6:10p start.
C'mon Twins, let's smoke those Jays! (that's legal now in Ontario, right?)
Taylor Motter AND Bobby Wilson in the lineup tonight! The roof better be open, or they'll drive some balls right through it!
Still tied through one inning!
Quality wiggling to keep it tied through two! The third should be our inning, with Motter and Wilson coming up!
That Borucki kid must be really good to retire our Murderer's Row so easily.
Jeremy Borucki, right?
Time for a run or 8
Being picked off is dumb.
Thank you Toronto LFer for gifting us a run
Sixth inning already? This game is moving right along.
Looking through the play-by-play of what I missed, it appears that the blind squirrel named Motter found an acorn, but Wilson took it away from him.
No, Motter caught sleeping when Polanco took off for 3rd - he would have been safe on the AB had he also broke for 2nd. Dazzle still can't figure out why he didn't
So the blind squirrel found an acorn, then lost it again. Figures.
Motter is batting ahead of Polanco, who was forced out at second. Was it Polanco that was sleeping?
Yep, my bad
Pitcher's best friend!
As they say, seven strong innings for Jose Berrios.
