So... do we think Jepsen is going to close this one out successfully?

[David HK]

Hey, Molly is finally following the gentle requests of the TwinsDaily mob, and putting the game in the hands of the guy who can handle it.  Atta boy, young fella.

[twinsnorth49]

Not to dig up old wounds but May wasn't in against A-roid why exactly?

[jimbo92107]

I wonder what rpm's Trevor May's curve ball has. Not as high as Duffey's, but maybe 1200 rpm? Pretty good break on those three.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh right. We get to bat again!

 

Well no one's gonna catch Sano Sanoozin'...

Gentle? I thought it involved pitchforks and torches?

A pitchfork can be used as gently as a scalpel, in the right hands.

Had to go there eh?

[Jerr]

Ok, I asked for runs, didn't get them.

Now I ask for NO RUNS, Pahleeeeeeze give that to me!

[David HK]

Gee, I like this Givens guy.  Wish we had one of those.

I'll have to take your word on that....thanks.

[twinsnorth49]

Ok George, get 'er done, for Jane at least.

[David HK]

Jepsen got a tall order here.  At least they don't have a stupid rally monkey in Baltimore.

[jimbo92107]

Well, at least Jepsen has closed a few games before...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Alright Jepsen...

 

All the chips are down.

 

The cliches stretched.

 

It is time to get 3 outs.

 

If must indulge in Perkinsesc drama, I won't object, but i'm sure we'd all appreciate clean work...

[David HK]

Gary Thorne just informed that Jepsen is 5 for 9 in save opp's...  so chances are... good?

[Jerr]

One down!

[twinsnorth49]

Whooo Hoo! 95!!

[Jerr]

Two down!

[walt-o-meal]

One more...

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Orioles luv'em some curve balls... one more out to go..

[Jerr]

And three....he he he!!!

[Ultima Ratio]

Shout a hip hooray!

[spinowner]

Ryan just won us a game with the trade for Jepsen.

[walt-o-meal]

That's how you close a 1-run win.  Nice outing by Jepsen.

[stringer bell]

Swing and Miss stuff!

[David HK]

Wow, the heat, then a tight, tight breaking ball-   whooosh.  I chanced actually taking a breath just now.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

3 Ks for Jepsen.

 

As expected.

[Danchat]

Wow. I'm starting to like the Jepsen trade now. 

If he can keep throwing strikeouts like that, I'll be happy with the trade.
