[Top Gun]

Great another catcher.

[kydoty]

Indians as the opponent

Minor league catcher

About 5,000 fans in the seats

 

Sounds like they're simulating a minor league game as much as possible for Hendriks.

One could make the case that every game this team plays is a minor league game...

[h=5]Our mn twins have the worst home record in all of baseball, the last 2 years. and still they plan NO major changes, way to treat all the people who helped support target field being built . its as bad as a ponzy scheme, pohlads and the twins should be ashamed what they have done, care about one thing $$$$$$$. im done with em!!!

And give up the excellent turkey sandwiches they sell at the park? Those things are good!

[IdahoPilgrim]

Here we go! Aussie power!

[glunn]

I am totally pulling for Hendriks today to get his first major league win, and for Herrmann to have a great debut.

[glunn]

A Plouffe home run would also be nice.

In fairness, the Pohlads did pony up for a 2nd jumbotron to further distract from the product on the field.

[Lesser Dali]

The Twins' DH is really playing like he wants a batting title.

[JB_Iowa]

Oakland helping Miggy. Intentional walk.

[Willihammer]

Twins have successfully stolen 25 straight bags against he Tribe

[IdahoPilgrim]

What was that about Florimon being our starting SS in camp next year? Is that carved in stone?

[snepp]

Go Hammer, it's your birthday.

[Willihammer]

Willihammer hits the game tie-er

 

Willihammer hits the go-ahead HR

 

A good night for his WPA index

[IdahoPilgrim]

Go Hammer, it's your birthday.

 

Light the candles and pass around the cake!

[glunn]

Hendriks appears to be on track for his first win -- let's hope that the bullpen does not blow it for him.

[snepp]

Wow, that was an awful call.

 

 

 

Good for Mauer though.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Another single for Mauer, another run for the Twins, and getting close to locking down Hendriks' first win...

 

Good night overall.

[kydoty]

Gardy will be ejected in about 10 seconds if they call him out.

[TwinVike61]

This has been a fun game to listen to with Hendricks in line for his first "big league" win, Willingham padding his resume with a 4 for 4 night (so far), Carroll almost hit his 2nd homer in 4 years.

 

I have a question though. For those who listen on Gameday, does it seem like Chris Atterbury (who is doing the broadcast with Cory Provos tonight) always has his microphone gain set way too high so it distorts.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Jesus, Miggy with another homer. Sitting at 1-2 for the night with 2 BB. He's on fire. I'd be shocked if he loses the MVP at this point. Trout is fading fast and Miggy has turned into a monster.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Cabrera's post All-Star numbers:

 

July: 1.086 OPS

August: 1.092 OPS

September: 1.223 OPS

 

Christ, those numbers are Bonds-ian.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Did they take away Mauer's hit and the run? What the hell is going on here?

[snepp]

Did they take away Mauer's hit and the run?

 

Yes.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I wouldn't have blamed Hendriks for walking out of the stadium and hopping on a plane back to Australia if Robertson gave away that lead.

[mhanson93]

I know "wins" is an overrated stat, but I'm happy for Liam...
