Twins about to complete 25% of the season and I doubt few thought they'd be where they are right now. It's quite apparent that the Twins don't match up against the Whities as they have been outscored 42-17 over the past four games.
Big Mike on the mound, and like most of the pitching staff, he's been disappointing at worst and inconsistent at best. Whoa, late pitching change. Bailey Ober (?!?) in for the Twins, Pineda moved a day. Bailey Ober is a righty. that's all I got on the guy oh and he's 6'9". Lance Lynn for Chicago and he's been really good. Too bad he didn't pitch like that for the Twins a few years back.
Should still be a nice night for a ballgame and I think I need to get to one soon. Maybe next homestand. First pitch at 6:40p.

A better start than Happ had last night. He's already got an out!
Only a single run! Already a keeper.
Only gave up 1 run. He's an all star!
Taller, but not bigger, than Big Mike.
Only one run given up in the first. Significantly better than last night.
There goes his no-hitter!
Luis Arraez is wearing the shiniest belt I have ever seen
The outfielders are getting plenty of exercise, but so far (with one exception) he's kept it in the park.
Ober's career ERA is cut in half!
Trevor Larnach is going to hit a home run
...sometime, probably. But not in this at-bat.
"Sigh".
Zoinks, Scoob!
Ober has pitched ok and definitely a lot better than other Twins pitchers lately but he has Randy Dobnak vibes where once it gets to 2 strikes the lack of a strikeout pitch dooms him to high pitch counts and a greater chance for a hanging pitch to get smacked hard.
That said, he probably deserves another start
Sano!
Nick Madrigal is going to be my private eye moniker.
Tricky Nick, Private Dick
Madrigal, P.I.: He who pays the piper calls the tune.
Sano increasing his trade value!
I've seen 7 Sanó PA's this season and 3 homeruns. They should play me to attend.
This is all just stupid
yes it is!
So LaRussa comes out to talk to the umps before the inning starts
Duffman throws behind the batter (probably intentional!) and gets tossed
ok!
That might be the first time Duffey has hit his spot all season.
If these clowns don't like it, don't suck do much that you need Astudillo to pitch.
I agree
I also think if LaRussa doesnt come out before the inning Duffey is still in the game unless he plunks Mercedes
That’s just it, the Twins saved a pitcher and essentially made a mockery of the inning. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. This whole ordeal makes me dislike this awful team even more
Convincente juego por juego en la transmisión en español.
They pronounce the last names better than the Dazzleman.
Comienza la colomescopia...
I missed it on the jumbotron last time, but Robles's entrance is easily the best since Fernando Rodney. Complete hilarity involving a horse and a slow pan.
Bueno, baby!
HAT TRICK I dont believe it
I was just going to mention that this will be the inning where they tie it up or take the lead only to blow it in the 9th to totally suck the life out of me.
Sano has HRs to left, center, and right field tonight so there is that
Too bad there isn't another OF position for him when he gets up in the bottom of the 10th with the Twins down 7-4.
Out of the park perhaps?
out of the stadium is the next option
MLB app notifications is broke, keeps sending me the same scoring message
Luis Arraez's second career IBB
all right no extra innings!
Weird. A win.
Well I'll be damned...
TonyO and me both liking that play. Unleash the Hounds!
apparently the Duffman and Rocco ejections fired up the team
Something needs to!
So, trade Sano in the morning? Peak value!
He beat a record previously held by Babe Ruth!
Ruth also had a single in that game, though.
So what you're saying is Sano's career will be over after a few more games?
Many hope for that.
