It ain't the Rays - that was one juicy pitch Jose threw that guy. Boom.

Berrios just hasn't looked like an "Ace" this year

[mrtwinsfan]

Heard why Cruz is still m.i.a,  weird injury!  Hope we see him soon

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Wonder if there will be a sarcastic sky is falling thread posted if we get swept

Are sky-falling threads more appropriate in domes?

[mrtwinsfan]

What was his name Nelson, been awhile

[operation mindcrime]

I just turned the game on and I see Berrios walk a batter, give up a homerun and hit some dude! Talk about good timing!

[LVTwinsfan]

Berrios throws over to first to check the runner a few times and the fan booed

He looks like a guy with great stuff, but erratic command.

There's your usbank commercial!

Right ... however ... my point was ... they are in the same time zone as Mike, who is in Pacific time zone. To tell someone who can't figure it out ... MST ... that would be just as confusing, most likely. So ... I dealt with the actual times.

 

I just use the Google Machine. The Google Machine is never wrong.

Polanco bunting, not sure why with one out

[MNTSchmitt]

It's the 3rd inning down 1.....whats with the sky is falling comments already?

[jimbo92107]

Sadly, Torts gives an infielder time to juggle the ball, check his text messages, and still throw him out...

why are we even thinking about a sweep right now

[Aggies7]

It was a joke!

Gentlemen, I think we've found the jinx.

Worse than that, Polanco tipped his bunt on the first pitch, then bunted it waaay too hard down the line. 

[Aggies7]

How is that not a swing lol

Jerry Meals needs to get his shop glasses checked

the fact that he’s slow isn’t what’s sad, what’s sad is that everyone is convinced he’s not

[Winston Smith]

 

How is that not a swing lol

If you read the rule book there is nothing in it about the bat crossing the plate, It's intent, did he intend to swing? Clearly he was attempting to get out of the way not swing.

[MNTSchmitt]

So.....that was a swing?

[bighat]

This Meadows kid has been killing us. Reminds me of Tommy LaStella of the Angels, a difficult out every time for this Twins pitching staff.

I'll go with Bert!

[Aggies7]

La maquina needs the Maytag man!

[Aggies7]

I'll go with Bert!

I was thinking that too during yesterday’s blowout. Hearing sad Dick Bremer and Bert’s commentary, it felt like recent years

Huge strike out.
