Dick said Kepler is hoping for a chance. Actually he should be hoping he doesn't bat again in this game.

 

Do you have a crystal ball or something?

[LaBombo]

 

Two wild pitches followed by a walk off balk.

 

I vote for this one, unless it means staying awake until the 15th.

Hey, I'd take one for the team.

[Mike Sixel]

 

Is Rooker making $16M per and can only play DH?

 

We can only hope he'll make that much some day.

Two wild pitches followed by a walk off balk.

Just to clarify, I meant in the bottom half of an inning.

[Don't Feed the Greed Guy]

Props to Cron. Tonight & last night: 4 for 7, with a HBP and a BB.

Yup, a real butcher with the glove...

Benintendi made Sano look positively patient on that at bat.

Well Vasquez is in Rochester so it should have been clear.

 

And these games without Twins homers are terrible. How do Royals fans watch baseball?

This one goes to eleven

Oh good, Blake Parker's warming up...

[David HK]

 

it has the feel of the Twins are not playoff ready. time to fix it though, their great record is not what they should be looking at

Yeh, I agree. It has the atmosphere and intensity of a playoff series, but they do have a one-and-done look about 'em right now.

Astudillo is still in AAA right?

[USAFChief]

Keep the ball away from Devers, please.

The same way we've done the past few years... through fingers...

 

[Aggies7]

What a job by the duff man

[Mill1634]

Keep bashing Duffey, losers 

[a-wan]

Oh good, Blake Parker's warming up...

Well it is nice to just know the game could have a quick ending.

[USAFChief]

uh...Duffey dominates??

[nicksaviking]

The Red Sox are better at check swings than we are.

[David HK]

 

Yup, a real butcher with the glove...

 

Heh....

Extra points for the "Rooker" reference...

[MNT1996]

Duffey pitched that inning like a mad man. Love it

[bighat]

Duff man with the surprising outing tonight, let's get him the W!

[Don't Feed the Greed Guy]

Duffey is slowly adjusting to the big leagues again. "No Duffey, you don't have to start extra innings with a runner on second."

 

"Okay, in that case, how about this... Strikeout, strikeout, strikeout!"

[70charger]

Well, there'd still be a bottom of the inning.

[operation mindcrime]

I'm making a call! Sano goes yard for the win!!!!

[Nine of twelve]

Twice in one game a batter-runner is called out for kicking the ball after a third strike not caught by the catcher. You can watch hundreds of baseball games and each time you can see something that is very unusual if you pay attention.

Had to look it up. Well done.

[USAFChief]

 

The Red Sox are better at check swings than we are.

They have the payroll space to afford better checkers.

I've never wanted a call to be more true than this one
