1. are YouTube games blacked out in home markets?

   1. No black outs for YouTube games.

      1. thought i'd already made a YT tag and graphic. guess not.

2. I didn't notice anything questionable, but Watkins was pretty indignant that a balk wasn't called on the pick-off

3. I don't like seeing Luis shake his bottom hand coming off the bat on strike three.

4. Twins need to get Ober some runs.

5. Cave pops up a bunt like the best of 'em!

6. TWINS BASEBALL!! almost

7. Nice outing by Ober. He's one tall drink of water.

   1. Does he have a neck tat?

8. Very much a "good Ober" start. Keep growing that sample size, rookie.

   1. too bad we couldn't have gotten him one of those meaningless W stats

      1. Thielbar'll take it, though

   2. Updating the Jax/Ober table

      Pitcher	Starts	IP	H	SO	BB	HR	ERA	BA	OBP	SLG	BABIP
      Ober	7	33	31	36	10	6	3.54	.244	.299	.441	.294
      Jax	4	20.1	11	18	5	4	2.66	.153	.205	.347	.140
      Total	11	53.1	42	54	15	10	3.21	.211	.265	.407	.237

      Since July 4, Twins record with starters:

      Jax/Ober = 8-3
      Maeda/Pineda = 6-6
      Others = 2-8

9. Polanco is so locked in right now.

   1. It's so nice to have people playing well.

10. Gonna start calling him Jake Vex.

11. nice framing

12. Polanco, of course!

13. Fear and Loathing in Mpls

    1. *whew*

14. You know, I don't feel like a one run lead late in the game is an automatic loss anymore. Progress.

15. I didn't think it was possible for this Twins pitching staff to shut out the Pale Hose

    1. Six runs scored, 14 runs given up, 2-1 record. Take that Pythag.

16. There you go. Back-to-back series wins against first-place teams.

    1. I think it's pretty clear that Nelson Cruz and Jose Berrios had been holding this team back all year.

       1. heh
