[PseudoSABR]

Nice to see Parmelee in RF.

[GCTF]

If anyone accidentally ingests something harmful in the next 3 hours, at least they'll have this game to induce vomitting.

[snepp]

Nice to see Parmelee.

 

Indeed.

[IdahoPilgrim]

Actually hasn't been too bad yet today. Of course, I'm watching it out of the corner of my eye, just to cut down on exposure a little.

Good advice, probably best not to stare directly at it.

[Top Gun]

Twins better win this one, can't take much more.

[Guest USAFChief]

Another lively game thread.

 

Seems like only a couple years ago the Twins were the talk of the town.

 

Wait...it was only a couple years ago.

[IdahoPilgrim]

That's why you have to move the runners, Ben.

[JB_Iowa]

Nice of them to get Sam a lead.

[Guest USAFChief]

While I would agree he should be able to get the bunt down if asked, I would prefer he not be asked...in the THIRD INNING!

[IdahoPilgrim]

Given their offense recently, I think they should scratch to get a run no matter what inning it is. It could be the game winner.

[IdahoPilgrim]

Sam looks pretty sharp tonight. I may end up going to bed happy for a change.

[Scheherezade]

Deduno AL Cy Young winner 2013?

[IdahoPilgrim]

Good timing for Plouffe to find his mojo again.

[Badsmerf]

Plouffe!!!! That had to feel good for him.

[Guest USAFChief]

That fan is probably exiting the stadium right now.

[glunn]

Plouffe!!!

[Riverbrian]

Are my eyes blurry. No walks? 4 Innings.

[IdahoPilgrim]

OT - Congrats to Elizabethton for winning their playoff opener tonight on the road. Berrios one hit through six innings with 7 K's. Elizabethton wins 4-0.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Figures. I don't watch what is becoming the only watchable Twins game in a week. What the hell is going on here? Plouffe homers, Deduno K's six, walks none, and the Twins post five runs.

[Riverbrian]

My wife has the TV... She's watching Americas got Talent. I got the game cast on my IPad... It's killing me...

Sounds like a normal marriage.

[Guest USAFChief]

A Capps sighting!

[DaveW]

DeDuno kicking some serious ass.

[Guest USAFChief]

Good AB by Plouffsie, although he didn't get the payoff.

[Guest USAFChief]

DeDuno kicking some serious ass.

 

Lots more offspeed stuff tonight, with decent control of it too.

[Riverbrian]

No walks... 6IP... I wish I could see it.

[J-Dog Dungan]

Holy s$%%^, is Deduno really working on a two-hitter? With no walks through 7 innings? And 9 K's? And the Twins have scored more than 1 run? Whaaaaaa? See, this is the kinda production we should be having erray game. Go Plouffe and Willinghammer! (and Deduno)

[Guest USAFChief]

Remember when Smoak was the headline return for Cliff Lee? A little cautionary tale for those who advocate dumping good players for prospects.
