   1. Ugh, Perez

3. Reports of Perez's decline being pre-mature were pre-mature.

4. Kohl Stewart better be prepared for second inning.

   1. And hopefully Pere'z next spot in the rotation...This guy is cooked.

      1. All of his trends bode poorly.

         1. His walk rate is improving!

5. man, this isn’t helping me escape my work day at all.

6. Cruz now has 32 home runs in a Twins uniform, other player to have hit 32 in their career with the Twins include Ryan Doumit, Lew Ford, and Gene Larkin

7. Is that a tornado warning in the background of the radio broadcast?

   1. monthly siren check
      or warning that Martin perez is pitching

      1. So an air raid siren?

8. hey looks at that another triple play

9. So, they don’t even need to hit the ball to score.

10. Is there a glitch in the matrix and Atlanta and Twins replaying yesterday's game?

11. I'm guessing this is Perez's last start.

    1. A couple of triple plays behind him, though.

       1. Impossible to set up the triple play without allowing at least a couple base runners.

          1. crafty veteran move.

12. Is the strike zone as ‘big’ as Gameday indicates?

13. Is the dread pirate at the game? Some dude’s voice in the background of the radio feed sounds just like him.

14. I picked the wrong week to go to a series of games.

    Though...triple play!

15. Well, my picks have flown to the wall and one-hopped it; are their partial points?

16. Sweatshirt on the mound.

17. Wise of the Twins to get all of the suck done with against Atlanta instead of Cleveland.

18. I guess there's still time for Garver to join him...

    1. Only if they let him come back in after being pinch run for.

       1. ack!

19. Sano Bomba!

20. C'mon, Marwin, you gotta get this to Cron...

    1. Sweet! Okay, Crondog, do your thing.

       1. Okay, not that.

21. How the hell is that pronounced "mell-AN-son"?

22. On the one hand, it’d be great to not need the late innings heroics to make up for a poor outing by the pitchers.

    On the other hand, it’d be great to not need the late innings heroics to make up for a poor outing by the offense in RISP situations in innings 4-9.

    Finally, the only Twins batter without a hit? Nelson Cruz... yeah.
