I think you answered your own question.
 

I was thinking more along the lines of the devil:  "Hey...we had a DEAL!"

[twinsnorth49]

How on earth did Perk get that guy out in the 8th, that's not even his role.

 

What a pitcher!

Always has to make it dramatic.

[USAFChief]

I hate to be a hater, but how much longer can the Twins put Mauer in the 3 spot in the lineup?

[twinsnorth49]

Everybody,

 

"Plouffe, there it is"!!

 

 

That shirt needs a second run...........Parker, Brock?

As a huge, unabashed fan of Mauer as I am.....i agree. if only for awhile even.

Nope

But it was the 8th Chief, imagine where his head must have been.

Exactly.  If that was the 9th, he makes Panda hit that grounder right at Dozier.

 

Roles.

Poor poor Kurt

OFFICIAL STATEMENT: I hate Rusney Castillo.

[twinsnorth49]

I don't much care for this Castillo fellow.

[DaveW]

I'm glad Molly did the right thing in that situation and brought in Perkins in the 8th. I'm pretty sure anyone else promptly gives up multiple runs to Pablo and Hanley.

They need to move him down to the 5th or 6th spot but that's not going to happen. 

 

Problem is who bats third then?

Tulo, after we send Duensing and Nolasco to Colorado.

To be fair, he has the 2nd highest OBP on the team among qualifers.

(second to Trevor) (no, not May)

too early, and fwiw dude has come up huge with runners on (dozier/hunter)

 

I would think about moving mauer to 2nd for a bit to "get him going"

[twinsnorth49]

Dozier could have ran that ball to first.....in time.

[formerly33]

BALLGAME!!!!!!!!

[USAFChief]

winnah!

[Gibby]

Chicken Dinnah.

[JB_Iowa]

Unbelievable!

[DaveW]

Cy Pelfrey!

[formerly33]

NINE games above .500. Are we happy?

[Gibby]

  This "New Colonel Saunders is terrible.

[curt1965]

That was a game that we ALWAYS lost.......

[Oldgoat_MN]

Who are these guys?

 

 

[Bark's Lounge]

Hats off to Buchholz. He was great tonight. This is a great win for our Boyz. The Twins just know how to win right now and it is not by accident.

Mauer fan, too, but Molly needs to try that. Maybe 5th or 6th. Who would bat 3rd then?
