Oh poop ... back to chores

[TwinsCD]

How many times in this game alone has Bremer said something about the lack of strikeouts by a Twins player only to watch said player K in their next at bat?  I believe that's 3 now.  Instead of Circle Me Bert, we should have Zip It Dick.*

 

*doesn't sound as bad as you think

[diehardtwinsfan]

he struck out.  send him down.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Are we there yet?

[glunn]

This would be a good time for an insurance run or three.

[John Kelsey]

Bullpen so far: 

 

2 1/3 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 0 K on 19 pitches. 

 

Letting them get themselves out I guess.

I love watching Sano fire to first base after taking his time on fielding the ball. He probably has too much arm for right field.

[glunn]

Nice steal by DSan.

[glunn]

That insurance run was sweet.  Now I hope Buxton gets one more at bat.

[diehardtwinsfan]

insurance!!!

[ashbury]

Nice steal by DSan.

Nice bit of managin' by Molitor to put him in.

[Blake]

 

Can't believe they didn't walk Sano.

Agree. I was surprised they kept pitching to Sano.

Almost forgot to share: so I'm in a taxi in Colombia yesterday, and look what the driver has on his dash board!   Twins mania, sweeping the world!

Okay, that's cool.

[Jerr]

I love insurance runs....now that's enough K.C.!!!!!!!

[glunn]

There goes Kintzler's perfect ERA.

[Jerr]

 

Yikes, 7 pages!

And we are winning.....and it's not a holiday and it sucks outside..... strange......

[Jerr]

CRAP!!!!!!!

[glunn]

Damn.

[bighat]

No need for this drama, Kintzler.  Uggggh!

[bird]

 

Rendon entered the game with 2 doubles, 0 hr, 5 runs, and 5 rbi in 95 plate appearances.

 

 

He'll leave with at least 3 doubles, 3 hr, 10 runs, and 15 rbi.

 

 

Talk about having a day.

 

According to the advanced stats, Rendon just won them four games.

[glunn]

No gold glove for Kintzler this year.

[Aggies7]

Not too many clean innings for kintzler it seems

[glunn]

Let's strike this guy out and go home now.

[snepp]

Don't ring him up on the strike, but ring him up on the ball?

[glunn]

Nice win!

[spinowner]

 

Let's strike this guy out and go home now.

Dick Bremer you're not. Winnah!

[glunn]

Karma.
