Ball hog.

Nope, seasons over (or so I've heard).

[mrtwinsfan]

Oh no Parkers back

[Don Walcott]

Oh no Parkers back

He makes me twitchy.

[Don Walcott]

Nice job, Ryne!! Now let’s get some runs for Taylor!!

[yarnivek1972]

So, they said Parker was activated. Who was sent out?

 

Smeltzer?

[glunn]

I am here to initiate a group prayer for insurance runs.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called the 8th...

[Darius]

Big two-out save opportunity coming for Rogers?

 

Harper was really impressive there. He looks incredibly tough to hit right now with that spike he drives into the dirt.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MNT1996]

If the Twins are gonna rely on Rogers for another 2 inning save it's getting unfair to him at this point and kind of pathetic. He shouldn't have to be out there every single time for 25-35 pitches in 2 innings every time the Twins are in a close game. How about the Twins FO gets off their butts and starts saving Rogers arm by getting another reliable BP arm

[yarnivek1972]

Eve stole first. Adam stole second. The prodigal son made a homerun.

 

Chief was pitching...

And then there was boom stick!!

[Darius]

If he comes in to start the 8th it would be a 6 out save.

Where tennis is also mentioned, when Joseph served in Pharoah’s court.

[Don Walcott]

Mitch is one strong hombre.

[Blake]

I wish Bark would show up. We could use a bottle of "GarvSauce."

[Blake]

 

Are the Twins playing tonight?

Who?

[glunn]

I hope Rogers gets the 8th, and if he can get it done with few pitches, then the 9th.

 

[IndianaTwin]

Coming into tonight...

Yankees catchers (Sanchez, etc.): 20 HR, 60 RBIs.

 

Garver just gave the Twins 25 and 66.

Like Josh Hader.

[USAFChief]

Can't keep running Rogers out there for 6 and 7 out saves.

 

They really need a couple arms that can be trusted with a late lead.

[Don Walcott]

Wow. Nice pitch.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

I think Rogers is pitching here because it's the middle of the order.  Then, Parker can face the bottom of the order next inning.  Not a terrible strategy.
