Something brewing here in the bottom 9....

Dozier, you've turned off your batting computer...

[bighat]

Hey, umpire delays have helped the Twins in the past....let's see here!

Mmmmm......brewing.

[kydoty]

90 MPH shot to the nuts.

Casilla was run out of SF for blowing saves.

[bighat]

Sano may just likely have a chance here.....holy cow. 

[Circus Boy]

 

Lost confidence? Like he ever had any?

Once long ago, in a galaxy far, far away.

Kind of like a repeat of last nights game - except the roles are reversed.   We don't have Plouffe to hit into a DP.

[rghrbek]

4ks for Sano....wow

[gocgo]

Bummer.  Big fly granny would have been a nice way to end the game.

[Aggies7]

I get why he was swinging, but he should have walked twice in that AB

[wavedog]

Sano was a day early to bring out a Golden Sombrero to celebrate Cinco de Mayo

No joy in mudville...

Last chance for Gibbie to prove hisself????

Come on it's not like they passed on Mike trout to draft him or something like that, what do you expect?

[Jham]

I have a theory about popular young hitters with big success playing in day games after night games: Germans love David Hasselhoff, and 20 somethings don't always go to bed early.

The rumblings have been there that he's on thin ice.  Not sure if you bring up Berrios at this point...maybe a little DL stint...you know, the blister on his finger is gonna take some time to heal.

[spinowner]

Dangit! This is the second time in 11 days that they've lost a game.

Kepler sitting against a righty eh?

 

I would say how dumb this is but I'm sure DanSan will go 3-4 now today. 

Danny Santana needs to justify his roster spot pretty soon with some good hitting. Otherwise, we might be seeing Nico Goodrum get his first taste.

I miss the ol' Gibby...

 

But yeah, i am not too concerned about the Twins as a whole.

Santana went 2-for-4 with a homerun and a beauty bunt single today.  Nice offensive day for DanSan for sure.

Thanks for playing today Ladies and Gentlemen!  Sorry we couldn't sweep it out the door.

 

Until tomorrow...

 

Go Twins!
