Game 58 - Twins vs Cubs - 6/9/12

Twins are off the chain today . I don't ask for long winning streaks. Just win each series.

I agree. This gives them a chance to sit their starters tomorrow and give the bench players some time. And who knows, we might win that one too...

Nice defensive play by Diamond. I think the best thing about Diamond might be that he is as cool as a cucumber.

I've noticed that as well. When the infield botches a play, or when the umpire shafts him by calling time at the last moment, he's able to shake it off.

Nice job kid, way to play!

Don't wanna jinx him , but Diamond is looking like he could earn a spot in the All Star game

Cubbies!!!!!

Plouffe is a damn animal lately. Absolutely killing the ball

[twinsnorth49]

Trevor Plouffe to all the haters......"How do you like me now?!!"

He's probably the one pitcher we have who would even be under consideration, but I can't see us getting more than the required 1 slot, and I think you have to give that to Willingham.

My oh my! Maybe there should be a mercy rule??

I wonder if all those Cubs fans at Target Field are having a good time so far.

They had an off day Thursday. Off day Monday. And you want to sit people Sunday?

[Highabove]

Does anyone want to be Danny Valencia??

It's not about resting the starters, but about getting the bench players playing time. I do think there is value in that when you've already won the series.

Probably about as much fun as I had at Angels' Stadium watching Weaver no hit the Twins last month. I hated that.

15 hits through 6 innings. That is pretty awesome.

Little baffled by that as well.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

It looks like a couple of starters are out of the game now. Interesting that Mauer's still in there though..

[USAFChief]

Little baffled by that as well.

Yeah and it's not like anybody has been buried on the bench, nor do I care if Butera ever sees the field.

Ouch! Double-slammed and tag-teamed
