Moves to be made in the postgame and/or tomorrow?  Who, if any are part of it?

 

Fien, Arcia, Vargas, Achter, Santana, Pressly, Duesnsing, Stauffer?

I CAN'T keep calm because we ARE the best!!! The Twins are now 10 games above .500!! The Twins are in a 5-game winning streak! The Twins swept the BoSox! The Yankees are about to extend KC’s losing streak to 4, making the Twins the top of the AL Central! The outlook’s pretty brilliant for my hometown team today.

my guess is that at least one pitcher is going down, Vargas is back up.

 

If Fien is ready, then two pitchers are going down.

[formerly33]

Okay, shhh, be quiet.......The Royals are batting in the top of the 9th.....Andrew Miller on the mound.....Omar Infante grounded out to short.....Paulo Orlando grounded out to 2nd......1 strike on Alcides Escobar...............

[Blake]

Rosario and Hicks for the win!?!?

 

Pelfrey goes toe to toe with Buckholtz?

 

Tied for first with KC?

 

Mass hysteria, cats and dogs sleeping together...

[JB_Iowa]

Yankees beat Royals, 4-2.

 

TWINS tied for 1st.

 

(I didn't think I'd ever get to type that this season.)

[formerly33]

This really is fun!

winnah.

 

ho-hum.

 

After watching them today, something different is going on.  This is a game that they have always found a way to lose over the past four years.  They dominated the Red Sox, dominated the heart of the order, and the defense has a pre-2011 feel-> suddenly we "know" that plays will be made out there.  It's like luck is meeting destiny- to this point, anyway, something pretty special is happening...

 

what say you Chief?

[Craig Arko]

Tied with KC. This is un-frikken-believable. Who ARE these guys?

[jokin]

Fien passed his final "test" today, going back-to-back games, and striking out two in 1 IP.  I gotta think he's an automatic call-up.

It's gonna be an interesting 24 hours, I had forgotten about Arcia being close to returning as well. Maybe Vargas will stay in AAA a bit longer.

[Hrbowski]

This was Ryan's plan.

Looks like MLB is having a slight problem with authority right now.

Don't they know that in a case of identical records the standings are supposed to go North to South instead of alphabetically?

Lol, that's a way to look at it. I think they should have the team with the longer winning streak and/or the better record in the last ten games at the top.

[twinsnorth49]

Quite the collection of Sox the Twins have picked up lately.



I'll see myself out...

I would strongly prefer to keep watching Cheech Rosario than I would Arcia.    Was beating that drum well before today's tater.

Just keep winning, it will be on top eventually

Had to work today. Missed the game, but I read through the game thread when I got home. Once the final out was recorded, I don't think I have ever in my 3+ years on this site seen such positivity and jubilation. There must be something to being 10 games over .500.

 

I am happy for everyone!

 

And I am happy For myself!

Rosario sticks, Arcia to DH, Escobar to SS, Santana down?

[John Kelsey]

 

I think I'm going to call an audible and take a half day to head over to the ballpark today. It's too nice to sit inside and stare at a computer screen. I'd rather sit outside and eat 6 or 7 hot dogs. 

 

I only ate 4, but my point still stands. 

[jokin]

 

Rosario sticks, Arcia to DH, Escobar to SS, Santana down?

 

Yeah, that's the consensus where I hang out...

[twinsnorth49]

Ding ding ding!

I like Santana's versatility in the field. If we bring him down, Escobar is the only utility guy on the roster.

 

Do the Twins really need Nunez if they bring up Arcia?
