Aaron Ashby
vs
Joe Ryan
Day game alert!
Ashby is in his second year with a long cup of coffee last year, spent mostly in relief. This year it's been mostly starts. He strikes out a bunch (10.7 K/9), walks slightly more than is comfortable (4.1 BB/9), but keeps the ball on the ground (60% career groundballs). If the Twins can hit some flyballs though, they have a good chance of leaving the field.
Ladies and gentlemen -- we have a run
Aw...givebacks.
YouTube question: Which number should the Twins retire next?
* Hunter
* Morneau
* Nathan
* Santana
Personally, none of the above but Santana if they must.
Put me down for none as well.
I don't know, Nathan is the all time saves leader, Santana leads in W/L% and K/9 etc...
I can ignore these two YouTube announcer yahoos, but then they picked ii over Morneau, Nathan, and Santana as the next player the Twins should retire.
I will say, though, that I would not be at all surprised it that turns out to be the way it goes.
Why is there so much time dedicated to interstitial ads on these YouTube games? Throw in a PSA or something!
Joe Mauer looks pretty good
My dad ran into him and his little boy in town (St. Paul). Left him alone because he didn’t want to interrupt what looked like a nice father/son outing. Told me that he could not believe both how big Joe is, and how good he still looks. Like he could lace up the spikes and get back into it with little issue.
Well, he is only 39.

I am not a fan of the current iteration of Buxton at the dish.
geez Bux, that was ugly
Watkins nearly scored he was so far down the line before stopping Correa from getting thrown out at home.
hey, whatever works
game's been very RISPy
a wave?!? I blame Pepper
man, how many different angles do they have to show Jeffers' cup check?
Pitcher's best friend.
walk 'em off, guys -- Jose!
MIRANDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was a frustrating game. (Until it wasn't)
You Hader see it happen to a worse guy.
no K's for Duran, but no outs for Hader
I'll allow it.
I'm wondering how many of Hader's J6 buddies also became familiar with Miranda in the last 18 months.
I wish this was on a plaque.
What a game!
Love this
