[Richie the Rally Goat]

Umm ... you don't want to know how I just read that.

me too! Eduardo really knows his stuff

[Darius]

Here comes Jepsen. Enjoy the lead for the next couple of minutes.

[ashbury]

 the high school in Berlin that Max Kepler went to ... before he was born

Precocious kid.

[Aggies7]

10 hits! nice!

[mickeymental]

time to find out if i can hold my breath for two innings ...

[twinsnorth49]

10 hits! nice!

Unpossible!!

 

Or so I've been told.

[ashbury]

Here comes Jepsen. Enjoy the lead for the next couple of minutes.

How's he done so far, this season?

[Lee-The-Twins-Fan]

Anyone else think we'll see Perkins yet this inning?

[D. Hocking]

Since we have not been able to have a dinner/dinnah since spring training -- they really need to hold it together for two innings, for my health and to prevent starvation if nothing else.

 

I would be happy if Nolasco kept pitching like to day and prove my reservations and lack of faith in him be misguided.  I will gladly be wrong if it means a few wins.

[ScrapTheNickname]

I like Jepsen. I believe he'll be okay.

[a-wan]

So... the Jepsen that had the decreasing strikeout numbers, and increasing walk numbers before the trade last year, is this that Jepsen?

[Lee-The-Twins-Fan]

Like Now!!!

[HitInAPinch]

...... and the 2 run lead is preserved 

 

everybody, exhale..........

[LaBombo]

 

I think most players know Hirschbeck has a very large strike zone

 

An umpire with a generous strike zone is like a doctor with a charitable and optimistic standard of what 'wellness' is...

Hang in there!

[ashbury]

Jepsen needs to get rid of the red glove. It looks like what a 4-year-old unwraps on Christmas morning.

[Mauerpower]

Phew!

Except for that ax in your skull, you're looking good.

[Mauerpower]

Doesn't Santana use a red glove as well?

[Mr. Brooks]

Well, Jordan Spieth is threatening to one again turn the Masters into a snooze festival, so maybe I'll be able to get outside and get something done after all.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

That's what the world has been wanting to see from Buxton.

[Hrbowski]

Speed!

[ashbury]

Doesn't Santana use a red glove as well?

I'll have to try to remember not to use the same comment when his turn in the rotation comes up again.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Looks like we're going to see Kepler hit here.

[D. Hocking]

I am guessing Mauer might be one of the team leaders for OBP.

[ashbury]

Time for a big season-debut from Kepler.

[LaBombo]

 

Speed!

 

"... is what we need!   Demon Speed!   Greasy fast speed!"

 

Well, after two big bowls of Lightning Bran this morning, it was just a matter of time before nature took its course.

 

 

[Ultima Ratio]

Not getting the runner to third may not matter in this game but indicative of poor batting/understanding.  Oh, and Rosario, yeesh.
