That was not a hit by pitch. My evidence is that Parra was rubbing his wrists and shaking them around, but if he had been hit anywhere (which he wasn't), he would have been hanging onto his arm up by his elbow.

 

Like Dicknbert said, that was a good act like some.

We could use a double play here.

Absolutely. But a strike out gives Stauffer another batter to face, to show he's still got it...

 

Um, whatever that is. A blooper? And another 5 run deficit to surmount?

At least the Royals are losing to Texas.  4 to 0 going into the 9th.

Why are the Twins the only ones that think Duensing can pitch? This is not rocket science.

I surmise this is one of those strange games where we can only score runs in increments of 5.

So i'm looking forward to the 15-10 walk off win...

But theoretically the Twins won't score those next 5 runs until the 10th, so we just might not get to the 15th.

Sorry i got here late...

 

Two such comebacks in the game were a bit much to hope for, i guess.

 

Is this true that Mauer pulled a home run?

 

We are seeing the dawn of a new era. Or at least the rising of someone's era. Hard to tell sometimes.

This is where the Twins have been very good since the first week. They haven't let a bad performance snowball. I credit the manager, the mentor and the starters. Let's see what happens tomorrow.

We had a close game going and we didn't even try to manufactur a run with the hicks bunt and error. I know we lost by 5 but that was a really poor decision late in the game to not bunt him over and home.

Couldn't disagree more.  The Twins had Dozier, Hunter, Mauer, and then Plouffe coming up, with Mauer fresh off a three-run bomb.  Manufacturing runs is overrated, especially in this era with so many strikeouts.  Getting a runner to third is nice, but giving up the out is not worth it.  Too bad Dozier's roller to third wasn't a little softer, so that Hicks could advance.

Silver linings: Mauer's homer, Gibson's comeback from a lousy first three innings.

That little punk that started for Milwaukee still has never beaten us. Thanks Joe!

Thrust, velocity, angles of momentum, gravity, ... maybe it is rocket science.

 

In any case, Duensing has lost it. He's gone full Blackburn. Everyone knows, ... you never go full Blackburn.
