Ah, the 'ol balk to make 'em overconfident. All according to plan

[stringer bell]

 

The ground was shaking where I live yesterday.

 

I got a "play by play" from my daughter in Bakersfield. She said it was a rolling feeling and that the first one was more surprising.

FTFY

[stringer bell]

Gotta get this guy Duffey. He's under the Mendoza line and Choo is 3-3.

 

As I type this, Mathis hits a ten-hopper through the infield and it's a game again.

[mrtwinsfan]

Tyler Duffey to me has run out of excuses, he has a great chance to make a mark for himself , Hope he realizes it

[VATwinsFan]

Rogers warming up.

[nicksaviking]

Softball pitcher from way back -

 

So a Twins pitcher circa 2014?

 

Seems I would have remembered him.

 

Though there were so many.....

[USAFChief]

I can't get behind the idea that Duffey is anything but just another guy. Don't trust him, likely never will.

 

edit: I rest my case.

Why does it say Calhoun on screen? It's Bde Maka Ska, now.

[MVP Nick Punto]

I don't like this Bde Maka Ska guy

[MNT1996]

Classic

[mrtwinsfan]

nice call laudner

[Aggies7]

I see we keep trying to make Duffey a thing. And it keeps not working.

[VATwinsFan]

Next please.

[FLTwinsGuy]

Duffey has had 9 lives with this team...hes used 15 of them... Ive been waiting for years for this guy to be DFA...

[jimbo92107]

Well, not a pleasant surprise, but a dislocation isn't quite as bad as a break. It'll take him at least a month to get back to catching without pain. If it was broken, it'd be more like six weeks. Heal up quick, LaMonte Wade!

[operation mindcrime]

Nice job Duffey!

[LVTwinsfan]

The Twins blowpen at it again

[mrtwinsfan]

wouldn not  bother me if they d.f.a. Duffey Today,  had to many chances, maybe he figures it out somewhere else, 

[stringer bell]

He was pitching in his third game in a row. I guess I'd like to know why. Taylor Rogers for seven outs?

[jimbo92107]

Duffey still doesn't have enough command of his amped up fastball. He also seems to have lost some of the sharp break on his curve. What can you say...

[USAFChief]

7 outs from Rogers???

[VATwinsFan]

I wonder if Roco is consulting with Mike Marshall to see how he can get 100 games out of Rogers?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

1 run game, eh?

 

Maybe i should pay attention...

[MNT1996]

Why the hell are we putting Duffey out there for 3 straight days? Terrible bullpen management.

[mickeymental]

 

*He used to strike people out pitching from 2nd base.

*sometimes blindfolded. played with only a catcher, infielder and first baseman on his team. very impressive.

 

**at this point, however, i must trot out my periodic eddie feigner story. he visited the iron range in the '70s and faced the carlson brothers of slap shot fame. things went something like double, home run, home run. the carlson brothers spent the rest of the game in the dugout so as not to further embarrass eddie. 

[operation mindcrime]

Next please.

In the words of Ariana Grande... Thank U, Next!

[MVP Nick Punto]

C'mon,big bats. We've seen you already today, now it's time to really show us something
