Whoever decided that Red Numbers on a Red Jersey was a good idea is someone with bad ideas. 

 

 

[snepp]

 

That's impossible.  Pressly is in Rochester.

[jimbo92107]

Wow, Polanco got a little lucky. I thought that was a tie.

Bummer Meyer is coming out. He had gone almost exclusively to the curve the last couple innings and the Twins were primed for a big inning.

Well we did get one more base runner out of Meyer! But alas he is indeed coming out of the game now.

[David HK]

Back in LA daze, I went to Angels games whenever the Twinks were in town, and various and sundry others, depending on the opponent. 

 

But my favorite was a Yankee game, on a beautiful SoCal afternoon, with a sellout crowd and a rowdy atmosphere- lotta NY fans, of course.  

 

One guy near my upper-deck section took it upon himself to taunt the Angels and their fans as much as possible, and was getting folks really riled up He finally went and purchased a rally monkey doll, and a load of licorice whips, which he fastened into a noose, and dangled the unfortunate primate from the front railing. I nearly wet myself laughing, but others took offense. Fisticuffs ensued, and I was seriously worried that somebody was going over that railing...

 

My favorite part was when some guy yelled at him about his noose trick, "Hey, there are kids here, you son-of-a-*****!"

[ashbury]

OK, that was a nice play against us in CF by Sugar Shane.

[Aggies7]

I wish buxton would cut down the "I'm way overmatched" at bats to like, one a week

[Aggies7]

Are you kidding me, Castro swings at 3-0 with the top of the order on deck and a man in scoring position? What the H is going on???

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Jason "Babe Herman Ruth" Castro swinging on 3-0 with Dozier on deck, grounds out.

[Sam Morley]

I guess Castro needs an actual take sign. Unbelievable.

[Aggies7]

Nothing makes sense with this team. These are "play the string out in September" kind of at bats

[ashbury]

I guess the pressure of batting eighth is too much for Buxton as yet. Drop him back down.

[Aggies7]

I agree. 10th should suit him

[David HK]

....a-a-a-a-a-nd Castro gets the green light on 3-0.  

 

[Aggies7]

Mejia has a great game, unfortunate we are sleepwalking at the plate

[snepp]

Way to go Dick, you jinxed him.

[Puckett34]

Nothing says Twins Baseball than a .210 hitter swinging at a 3-0 pitch.

[TwinsCD]

 

I guess Castro needs an actual take sign. Unbelievable.

 

He only takes with 2 strikes.

[Aggies7]

Nothing says Twins Baseball than a .210 hitter swinging at a 3-0 pitch.

I'm half in the bag and I yelled at the tv not to swing 3-0. Forget the fact that ball 2 was literally right down the middle

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Activity in the Twins bullpen

 

 

 

[Aggies7]

Here comes the bullpen

[Aggies7]

They're giving you an out...first pitch curveball

[Danchat]

I would have stuck with Mejia for at least one more batter... so let's hope Duffey can blot out yesterday's events and pitch better.

[Aggies7]

All we need is another triple play
