So how about those Twins? Two in a row! Three out of four! Four out of six! We're making our charge for the pennant!
Well, maybe not. But even in a lost season, it's nice to see them win. Maybe they'll make it three in a row. Michael Pineda goes for the Twins, Luis Garcia for the Trashstros. Go Twins!
I said the other day that there's no reason Refsnyder or A-Stud should be playing ahead of Gordon. Let me add that there's no reason Jake Cave should be playing ahead of Gordon, either.
Got to justify trading Wade Jr so we can keep him.
Rastros using up Pineda pitches to get to the skinny bullpen.
Still tied through one!
FSN did a replay of that last play and the grass out field looks to be in rough shape maybe that's why the infield dirt is heavily watered down
Setting up the triple play.
Well, two out of three ain't bad.
Well the story changed from pitch count to players on bases with 0 out.
Gotta catch the ball to frame it.
Blech.
40 pitches for 3 outs is not very efficient
1 pitch for 2 outs, however, is!
Kris, I certainly hope Wes Johnson had more to say to Pineda than "Get him out."
No-hitter Alert
(We've always gotten a hit in every game I post this)
And there it is!
Altuve is sliding into the "Bane o' th' Twin" category.
That inning helped out the pitch count.
Somewhere, Bert Blyleven is saying "Solo home runs don't hurt you."
He probably also said, "He left that pitch up."
