The Twins and Royals close out their series on this Monday eve (huh). Twins have taken two of three so far in this series, "The Battle for 4-2". Every game has ended in that score so far.
Wisler and his funky looking elbow will get the "start" for the Twins. Bubic is making his fourth major league start and his first against the Twins.
Apparently the Royals were none to pleased at Romo's self-celebration at the end of yesterday's game. In a game without fans, everyone can hear everything and such. We'll see if any of that carries over into today's game.
Im sure no Royal pitcher has ever been animated after closing out a game.
Wait now, hold up. I haven't read anything about it, but it's that what they got upset about? Sergio Romo being fired to after a save. A guy who is famously always fired up on the mound ?
Plus the benches can hear each other now. Trash talk is no longer lost in the crowd.
Watch the video - a little chatter chatter hand motions at the dugout
There goes the no-hitter!
23 skidoo to you too, you hep-cat!
Two solid innings for The Whistler.
Coming into the game Miguel Sano has 8 hits. Two are doubles and four home runs.
I've been working on getting my "trade him" bandwagon up and running.
Sano strikeout -- drink. *passes out*
66 PA (58 AB) 32 K
I'm no expert, but that seems to be a bad ratio.
Also not a good ratio
They done been Smeltzified
And then Cruz missle'd
CRUUUUUUUZZZZZZZ!!!!!!
Bomba!!!!
I will not, however, be getting a trade Buxton bandwagon going.
Ha! The pitcher's reaction right away on Cruz' bomba was great
YDNROER
Gonzalez seemed surprised to have so much time until Merrifield attempted to slide.
An attempt was made
Strikezone shenanigans
Nice. Another 4-2 game would be neat, but I'll take 3-0. Duffy keeps that in sight
Well, we got the 4 part now.
CRUZZZED!
Nelson Cruz is ridiculous
Missing over the middle of the plate to Cruz seems like a bad strategy.
Does this mean May or Littell have to give up two runs to get the right score?
Maybe...
There's one for Littell.
Half way there.
Also, on another topic, Boban!
He looks so much more mobile than he did a year or two ago.
Littell with the SOC.
Well, look what I found!
