Gotta get this guy!

[twinsnorth49]

Ok, this dude is named Marwin........let's get the out Erv.

[Riverbrian]

 

Does anyone else find Dick far more annoying when the Twins are doing well than when they are not?

 

Honestly... I don't find any of them annoying. They are part of my family. Even when Dick gets excited over a medium deep fly ball... I'm at the point now where I laugh at it and enjoy it.

And it starts to rain.

[stringer bell]

I think this is Erv's last batter.

[HitInAPinch]

What ?!?!?!?  NO PINE TAR???

[glunn]

Erv looks tired.

[Riverbrian]

 

And it starts to rain.

 

Are you OK String? Did you brave it or run or walk quickly to the concourse. 

[Jerr]

Yeah!!!!

[glunn]

Great final pitch by Erv. WHEW.

[stringer bell]

Routine scoreless inning for Santana.

[Circus Boy]

Santana=nails.

[HitInAPinch]

aaaaahhhhhh,,,,,,

I'm sheltered. Gotta keep the iPad dry!

Rosario: that player that angers and thrills in the course of a game.

Santana's been pretty good today even though he doesn't seem as sharp as a lot his recent games. I'm curious to see if Wheeler gets a shot in the 7th.

[Mill1634]

Jorge is stroking it today

[stringer bell]

'Stros don't shift for Mauer, but they do for Polanco.

[HitInAPinch]

Here we go again !!!!

No...I hope not. Maybe in the 9th if we are still up 5. But the 7th? No. Give it to Press or Rogers. 

[BoofBonser]

Santana about to go out for his 7th and he's over 100 pitches

Who do you think gets the 8th?

[Mill1634]

Pressly. Rogers 9th. 

[Mill1634]

WTF is this move Molly. 

[BoofBonser]

I like the move to bench Buxton after that last AB... he's lost out there

[stringer bell]

Alright, what happened to Buck?

[twinsnorth49]

 

Jorge is stroking it today

Ahem.......phrasing.

[Riverbrian]

Santana will start the 7th. He may not finish it... Pressly and Breslow are the only guys that I'd consider using besides the new duo.  

[KirbyDome89]

 

WTF is this move Molly. 

Its like clockwork....the Sano removal for a pinch run is due any moment...

[glunn]

Today would be a great day for lots of insurance runs. The bullpen is gassed and it would be nice to deplete the Houston bullpen so that they are gassed tomorrow.

Who cares if he goes 0-3. Astros have pop and as we saw last inning the OF defense is very important. The step down from Byron to either Grossman or Ehire is huge!! And the difference from Ehire and Byron's bat is not very different at all. Stupid move, unless it was done medically.
