you want experience? how's about the jake odorizzi experience? the j.o.e.?

 

Dare I say it, with three innings yet to play? 

 

Way to go, J.O.E. 

[Mill1634]

DOZ-BOMB!!!!

[Monkeypaws]

Losing 4 straight to the Twins probably will raise the heat on the Machado trade. 

 

What a catch of Dozier's dinger

 

Dude almost fell to his death!

[PDX Twin]

Dozier comes through again in a high-leverage situation.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I'm feeling an Astudillo at bat soon!

[Aggies7]

This orioles team is the 2016 Twins. But possibly worse.

[curt1965]

Wish you could chop that homer into 4 singles and use them during the losing streak!

[Circus Boy]

Happy for the team today. Everyone's hit except ER, and he'll get his chance. Laughers are called that for a reason.

 

EDIT: Happy for the J.O.E., too.

The Orioles are bad. Just in case you weren’t certain.

Geez, don't say that. A dad who was at a game with his sone did lose his life a few years back trying to catch a ball flipped into the stands by an outfielder

yes. but in fairness, a classic "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation.

What's with Polanco's throws? He seems to have a hitch before his release and he doesn't get much on his throws. I've seen it at least three times the last two days.

[notoriousgod71]

 

 

I expect that to be scored FC, E-6, no RBI, but the catcher could probably have kept his foot on the plate and still caught it.

 

Error? You can't be serious. He could have thrown that ball into outer space and it would have been an inside the park home run.

Matt Belisle has become an out machine. Only one run allowed in last five appearances.

Still don't like he was only out there for 1 inning in a game the Twins have pretty much put away. At least let Belisle make it interesting!

That's awful.

Scoring change! Machado gets an error. There is a God.

You're not in Baltimore anymore Manny

With Cleveland losing today, and assuming a Twins win, the Minnesota baseball club is within 9.5 games of first. As Aggies7 noted in other circumstances, "It's happening!"

I know Davis is having a bad year, but you still need to not serve it up right down the pipe.

The unfortunate thing is there are so many ****ty teams in this league (Twins included) that eventually Cleveland will get a run of divisional games again and pad their lead back to about 13 or 14 when they win 7 of 9 and the Twins play their typical 4-5 stretch.
