Lynn throwing 94-95 in the zone. Looks like the guy we thought we signed.

I honestly didn't know Lynn threw that hard.

[Brandon]

So if Lynn makes it through this inning do we bring in Hughes to try to chew some innings to give the pen a breather?

[Brandon]

This inning is 6th inning

[Blake]

Uh, no.

 

So, it will probably happen.

Not sure if Molitor is brave enough to give Hughes a 6 run lead.   I'd rather see Magill or Rogers eat the innings.   Not that they are much more inspiring.

Sox announcer: This is Cardinals Lance Lynn, not April Lance Lynn.

[Mill1634]

I come back from graduations and we're up 8-2 AND Lynn is still in.

 

Wow!

[David HK]

Boy, this game-  finally.  

 

This is the Lynn I was wetting myself over when we (finally) signed him.

 

That short spring was not good, for him or the club.  

 

Maybe-- maybe-- maybe, this is a sign of him settling in?

 

Oh, God, did I just jinx everything?

[Puckett34]

We'll know soon enough...

[Mill1634]

you'd think this would be a good time to use Hughes

[Puckett34]

Use him for what?   Clean up the seeds in the dugout?    Throw the jerseys in the wash?     Head up the booth and chat with Dick and Roy?   Surely you don't mean pitch against a batter.

[Twodogs]

Wow, Magill doesn't look too sharp

[David HK]

So, it's a 6-run lead--  isn't that safe enough to try Phil for an inning here?

 

Wt...heck?

[Twodogs]

That's better Mcgill

[Mill1634]

Maybe this is a "throw three innings and hit the waiver wire" game for Magill?

[Twodogs]

Bad bad bad Macgill

[Blake]

 

So, it's a 6-run lead--  isn't that safe enough to try Phil for an inning here?

 

Wt...heck?

Would you trust Hughes right now?

[Danchat]

 

Would you trust Hughes right now?

Nope. 

[Mill1634]

 

Nope. 

If you aren't trusting him here, when are you ever going to?

Win we did yet?

[Mill1634]

This ump sucks

[Mill1634]

Twins carrying my fantasy team again -- Thanks for gifting Tim Anderson pitches tonight

[Mill1634]

Twins win!!! Two in a row!!!! Lets get 3 tomorrow!

Aw yes!

Rosario is a prime example why we shouldn’t gnash our teeth over a hitter struggling through 15 games.

 

Can we all stop doing that, please?

Our Eddie's are mashing. I'm telling you, another good game from Escobar tomorrow and he's the MLB AL Offensive Player of the Week.

I did feel a bit of a chill in the air.

 

 

I've heard Hell is in ND (at Minot AFB, to be exact), but I guess SD is close enough to be affected by extreme weather events there.

I will work on that.
