Nice. Don't look at mine.

 

Truth in advertising update: I am not Karen Gillan.

Nice little 11 pitch inning.

[Squirrel]

The best part is when it blinks.

Lol. If I could find a way for it to move from one side to the other I would.

[HitInAPinch]

"what are we gonna do?" 

 

Dick,    don't get me started.....

[glunn]

 

Ok, that's a good first effort to get warmed up, but you gotta cut loose, glunn! Last game! Fire up! Otherwise, the game thread is going to have to blow on Mr. Glumm's tummy!

 

OK.

So why was Sano coming over to talk to Berrios and not Murphy?

I sincerely hope there was alcohol involved......

[LaBombo]

Big strikeout for Berrios, after being down 3-0 in the count and with two on. And... he's out of the inning..."Well done! Wuh! Wuh! Wuh!"

Good to see Berrios work his way out of that jam.  Hopefully a confidence builder.

New strategy.  Whenever Berrios' is pitching from the stretch, send an infielder to the mound every other pitch to remind Berrios that he needs to throw strikes. 

 

That and Sano needs to lose weight.  Everyone says so   

[Circus Boy]

Thought fersure that Molly would yank Berrios after Morneau walked. A strange new confidence in the youngun'?

[LaBombo]

Does any Twin wish the season didn't end today more than Buxton does? Kid's having himself a month.

[wavedog]

Sorry, a hit is a hit but I can't get too excited over anything Logan Shafer does

[HitInAPinch]

Looks like someone wants to be the leadoff hitter   

[glunn]

Me too.  I also think about how much fun she must be when the Tide wins.

Maybe that is Sano's weight loss strategy - walks to the mound builds his steps up

That, or indisposed due to IBS.

 

[glunn]

Let's hope that some of this good play by the youngsters carries over to next season.

[LaBombo]

Boom. Boom. Out go the lights. 25 for Sano, 200 for the Twins. Bright spots.

 

[operation mindcrime]

200!

[Craig Arko]

I really like the young core of the team.

[HitInAPinch]

Sano!   Look at it go !!

Sale looks flustered throwing behind Kepler.

The hitting is there.  Pitching and defense is lacking.

[glunn]

I am hoping that Berrios can end the season on a high note.

Here ya go....

 

[LaBombo]

Yup. Today is bigger for him than it is for the other guys combined. Even if he's cruising after the 5th with a lead and a low pitch count, I hope Molitor has a lefty, a righty, and a Crash/Fire/Rescue team warmed up and ready to go in the bullpen.
