Okay ... I take that back ... lol.

Jeez... It like we are playing Arthur Bryant's.

[Craig Arko]

And it turns into a circus .... a good one for the Twins but unfortunately, it isn't over yet.

[twinscowboysbulls]

Did Herrman go into play d or just pinch hit there? It's funkin job takin time Gardy. Lucky.

[LaBombo]

It's hard to believe that 1 inning and 45 minutes ago this was a cleanly-played pitchers' duel.

[Guest USAFChief]

First fair ball of the inning.

[Danchat]

Wow. We apparently don't need to get any hits to mount a comeback.

 

I gotta give some credit to Brunansky. These batters are patient and taking walks. Good job so far!

D Sub

[mikeee]

Pinto needs another homer.

[Fatt Crapps]

They'll pitch around him.

[stringer bell]

Disagree. He's slow as molasses and never had a chance from there. The only bunt he had a chance on was a swinging bunt.

I thought that maybe Plouffe was trying to hold third for the force play momentarily. The ball was pretty close to the mound, but Correia falls off to the first base side.

[twinsnorth49]

Wade Davis....tee hee!

[cmathewson]

I have a feeling we'll Ned some insurance runs.

[Gibby]

Only the Twins would reap so little out of such a plethora of gifts.

[Guest USAFChief]

Spoiler alert for those planning on watching the Masters after the ball game: Tiger doesn't win it this year.

[jokin]

Why did we run for Kubel again?

 

For Montgomery it was A Bridge Too Far, for Gardy, it's always a bridge too soon.

[LaBombo]

Pinto's defensive liability really showed through more in that at bat than in his home run one.

 

On a less snarky note, what a crap third strike call.

[Craig Arko]

I have a feeling we'll Ned some insurance runs.

 

No, Perkins can save you 15% in 15 minutes.

[Squirrel]

Looking at that play again ... that was really heads up running by Dozier and could be the difference (hope it's the difference) between a tie and winning the game.

[Guest USAFChief]

Last fair ball of the inning.

fixed it for me.

Chief! How dare you!

Gardy's way of letting everyone know he's back. Who else would take their number four and five hitter out of the lineup and replace them with guys they sent to the minors less than two weeks ago?

[twinscowboysbulls]

D Sub

I don't think we need to replace a bad OF with a mediocre one, when we have already yanked one.

[cmathewson]

Go Perk.

[jokin]

It's hard to believe that 1 inning and 45 minutes ago this was a cleanly-played pitchers' dual.

 

I think you meant: "cleanly-played dual pitchers' duel."

[Riverbrian]

Who was Mauer gonna punch in the head in that Slo-mo bumper.

Quoting this for no reason other than it makes me laugh everytime I see it.

[cmathewson]

Perkins just about in mid season form after a slow start.
