So May 17th is a somewhat infamous day in Twins history. The way I see it, every year that they don't add to bad history is a win. And a win is like a double win.
The Twins'll pitch Perez against the Mariner's Marco Gonzales, who has been pretty solid this year. Hopefully they'll get to him early, so, like last night, folks can go to bed in the confidence that the bullpen will hold on.
Here's hoping for a double win!
Watching the end of the Red Sox/Astros game, and yeah... It would've been nice to have had this version of Ryan Pressly.
Infinite K/BB.
Unless the Twins pile it on soon, tonight's game won't be assured at all when I hit the sack like last night's was.
I fell asleep listening to the radio in the ninth last night. No guarantees against a repeat performance, particularly given the contentment brought on by a couple bowls of bright, peppery fish chowder with sweet peas. It was perfect on a damp, cool spring evening.
I reverse spookied that.
Adrianza put his big boy pants on today.
He's hearing footsteps
Up to a 59 OPS+ coming into tonight’s game!
Not long ago it was in the teens.
That pitch count...we're going to be leaning on the bullpen. Glad that's after bedtime
Still don't like Edwin Encarnacion.
That was an ad about Twins tickets.
This inning is setting up nicely
Polanco is on base? Shocking.
Perez with 0 R on 2 H and 2 BB and 5 K after 4 innings, 61 pitches thrown. So, nice.
So is it Gonzalez or Gonzales?
Yes, it is.
A slow sacrifice fly.
You get a hit and you get a hit and you get a hit....
Atta boy, Kep
My cat is riveted by this game. He's sitting on my lap watching it on the tablet.
Half of the viewers of this game are like “now I can go to bed.”
I don’t want the Mariners to rally here, but I am enjoying this exchange between Griffey and LaTroy.
That pitch that struck out Buxton was nasty.
That was a very good play by Cron.
So that was really awesome
Wow. Cron looks so good at first.
He's looking like an excellent pick up.
That was the greatest double play I've ever seen.
Good result.
So the twins win. ho hum?!?
I'm starting to think that this is a really fun team.
