How they lookin'?

 

Dominant in every way.

[Gibby]

Winston hasn't completed a pass yet.

[spinowner]

Just saw the video of Rosario's dinger. It's totally ridiculous that a major leaguer would even swing at that pitch, much less hit it over the wall.

[DaveW]

Christ Hunter, how slow can you be?

[Gibby]

Unsane!

Good to hear. Someday maybe the same can be said about the Twins.

 

And do we blame Plouffe for that double play?

[DaveW]

Why the **** do you take Duffy out here?

Nope, he has a baby. If it's female, it could get worse.

94 pitches, 5 walks, seems to be walking a tightrope.  I don't mind it.  Until I see Fien out there on the mound.

one hit, 7 ks. Let the kid at least start the inning, he more than earned it.

[JB_Iowa]

Really impressed with Duffy tonight.

[ScrapTheNickname]

Plouffe has now grounded into 23 double plays.

 

The Twins single-season record for double plays grounded into is 28 in 1970 by Harmon Killebrew.

 

Now you could say that Plouffe is in good company here, but ... Killebrew hit 41 homeruns and 131 rbi that year.

8th, time for Trevor M....... well they did trade for Jepsen.

He was pitching on short rest IIRC.

[DaveW]

He was pitching on short rest IIRC.

ah that's right. Either way it worked out, and he looked pretty great IMO

[stringer bell]

Are you gonna be upset when they send him back to Rochester? They have to make a roster spot for Milone.

[JB_Iowa]

No Save opportunity for Perkins.

 

DOZIER 2 run HR!!

 

4-0

[Richie the Rally Goat]

That was a really effective Sac bunt by Hicks

[TwinsCD]

Helloooooooo insurance runs!!!  Nice to have ya back on the HR trail, Dozier.

[DaveW]

Boom

[Richie the Rally Goat]

I don't ever want to hear Bert talk about anyone coming out of the closet, no matter how innocent the intention

[Twinfan603]

I don't want to complain about balls and strikes with a 4-0 lead now, but that last pitch to Sano was at least 2 or 3 inches outside. That sucks because garbage calls that like aren't helping his K numbers.

[TwinsCD]

Perkins still hasn't shaken his closer disease that he picked up at the All-Star game.  Good thing he had a 4-run cushion coming in.

[DaveW]

Come on now Perkins... No need to make this interesting

[sampleSizeOfOne]

(Is Chief about? ...)

 

Winnah!

[Gibby]

 

 

Come on now Perkins... No need to make this interesting

 

At least he doesn't shudder and snort through the whole thing.

[stringer bell]

Nice win.

[DaveW]

Go for the series win tomorrow boys. Gonna pick up a game in the wild

Card race tonight
