And the Twins run themselves out of a great scoring opportunity. Unbelievable.

[DPJ]

Lets steal with the teams best hitter at the plate...not top managing.

[Guest USAFChief]

Jeebus, how slow is Mauer? He's not being held and he gets thrown out by that much?

[IdahoPilgrim]

And the Twins run themselves out of a great scoring opportunity. Unbelievable.

Given the number of times they've done it this year, how can it be unbelievable? I find it very believable.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Man, what an awesome job by Duensing to get out of that jam.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Morneau's recent turnaround against lefties has been pretty incredible. Hopefully he keeps it up.

[Guest USAFChief]

/crickets/

[Guest USAFChief]

I just don't see Duensing as a starter. RH hitters just give him too much trouble.

[Guest USAFChief]

Ouch.

[kydoty]

I said "It'll be 3-1 after that." I wish I was right.

[TheLeviathan]

So Duensing can't get out righties because he has a legit excuse being flip-flopped between the bullpen and the rotation according to Bert. But he crucified Slowey for saying it was messing with him?

[mikeee]

Guessing the fans aren't booing Crawford tonight....

[GCTF]

I just don't see Duensing as a starter. RH hitters just give him too much trouble.

At least he can lefties out, though he shouldn't have had to face that lefty.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Duensing should probably be moved back to the bullpen. Well, for a couple weeks at least until they think he's ready to be a starter again.

Bert: If, if, if, if, if

[kydoty]

C'mon, if Jhonny Peralta can get three bases on the same interfence situation, Revere can at least get 3rd base.

[mikeee]

lil sumthin cookin now!

[mikeee]

the hammer is due...

[IdahoPilgrim]

OK, Danny, you wanted a chance to earn your way back? This is it. All we need is a long fly ball and we're tied.

[GCTF]

Tied, schweet.

[Guest USAFChief]

I say again...Mauer's defense ain't what it used to be. Almost every throw sails and tails these days.

[IdahoPilgrim]

OK, what's up with this? 3 errors? This is starting to sound like A-ball.

[JB_Iowa]

You gotta feel sorry for Duensing this inning ... c'mon you can get out of your teammates errors.

[Guest USAFChief]

It's really easy to like Jamie Carroll.

[jokin]

I say again...Mauer's defense ain't what it used to be. Almost every throw sails and tails these days.

And he had all kinds of trouble keeping the low-pitched balls out in front of him in Diamond's start against the Whities.

[Guest mOwbRAY_IS_LEEds]

Bates in!1!?

[JB_Iowa]

Wow, I wish I hadn't gone and looked outside this thread.

[JB_Iowa]

Justin just killing it.
