Yikes....you have to put that guy away. 

[wavedog]

Pineda, the way he is getting hit this year more like Pinata

[Nine of twelve]

That was a bad home run to give up. This game will be official after the next half inning if the Twins don't tie the game and with rain on the way the Yankees may have put this game out of reach.

Good grief, I hope I'm as lucid as Kaat when I'm his age. 

 

Decided to look it up and Kaat turns 81 this year.

It has been a pleasure to listen to him this weekend

The game they needed to win was Friday night and they fumbled all around the field. This was never going to be a win with Pineda going.

[glunn]

Yankees announcers praying for rain now that the game is official.

[Aggies7]

It’s so the twins to have a guy named Tauchman land the big blow

[Aggies7]

Would have been a GIDP but the shift exists

[Mill1634]

Get Pineda out

[Nine of twelve]

Pineda has been laboring but he still had us in the game until that dinger last inning. I was just hoping he can just get through that last batter. And we got a gift.

[Nine of twelve]

We need runs now. Doubt this game will go 9 unless the pitchers get real efficient.

[Mill1634]

Not a great start for Pineda, but not horrible. Needed to put Tauchman away. This game isn't over though (unless the weather ends it). Thankfully the bullpen is fairly well rested

[Aggies7]

Wish this was rained out. Bad performance all around

[Aggies7]

Mike Tauchman and his career .160 average proving to be the most difficult out in the order

[bighat]

Another awful game, slow pace of play led by Twins pitchers. I'm telling you, Twins offense plays better behind Berrios, Perez, and Odorizzi because they are out there throwing pitches. Pineda and Gibby spend more time walking around the mound and kicking dirt.

 

The Twins could somehow still win this game, no idea how they're only down 3 here.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Twins have the lineup to come back. Need some baserunners, get a couple back this inning.

[bighat]

When is Baldelli going to stop with this Adrianza-followed-by-Castro nonsense?

[Aggies7]

Don’t worry about that lead off runner, the black hole of Adrianza and Castro will snuff out any rally

[Nine of twelve]

Here's what could happen here. The Twins could score 10 runs in this half inning, the game could be stopped and later called due to rain, the half inning wouldn't count, and the Yankees would win.

[Nine of twelve]

Moot point now.

[bighat]

Terrible swing by Kepler there.

[Aggies7]

Swung at ball 4. Put the tarp on and call it a day

[Nine of twelve]

Not necessary to remove caps for GBA like the PA announcer says. This is not the national anthem. It's just a song.

Haha I always enjoy seeing what bothers folks

[drock2190]

Kepler was late on a slider in the zone. Then swung at fastball in the dirt. 

 

Makes you wonder what his approach was there.

Doesn't bother me but I bet it would bother some people if hats were not removed.

[bighat]

Rosario is in a bad way right now.

[Aggies7]

Offense has been awful today. Terrible at bats all game

[Aggies7]

Ouch
