[MNT1996]

That was identical to the last time those guys were up haha

[HawksNest]

Rosario hitting the ball TOO hard haha

[Don Walcott]

How many guys have had two singles off the wall in one game? And no RBI, despite having a runner on second for each hit? Crazy.

[FLTwinsGuy]

Merrifield plays that wall like hes out there every night..impressive player

[Don Walcott]

Sano is due.

[Halsey Hall]

All 9 hits from the top 4 batters..

 

[Danchat]

I think we gained about 4-5 WAR just by upgrading our DH spot from Robbie Grossman to Nelson Cruz.

[Mill1634]

Not real sure I'd use Dyson here if we get up at least three. Let May throw another inning. Dude hasn't pitched in ages. 

[adorduan]

Rosario has crushed the ball twice and only has singles to show for it.

[Mill1634]

SANO!!!

 

What a good at bat

[Don Walcott]

Good AB by Sano.

[MNT1996]

Sano would have struck out on that pitch last month

[twins1095]

 

Sano again failed to deliver...

 

Oh look...

[HawksNest]

Keep going, keep going, keep going.

 

Gonna need 4+ runs to feel comfortable (sad but true) 

[Nine of twelve]

 

SANO!!!

 

What a good at bat

Yes. I was going to type that same thing.

[Aggies7]

Miguel got jobbed there twice in that at bat and still had a solid hit. Proud of the guy

[jz7233]

Good job this time Sano!

[gil4]

 

Also. Seriously? No one is going to comment on Dick Lovelady? Really? No one?

Not gonna touch that.

 

[Nine of twelve]

Keep the line moving, boys. I smell a big inning. Real big.

How many make-up calls is Joe West going to give?

[Aggies7]

How many make-up calls if Joe West going to give?

I can’t remember which royal was up to bat, but I’ve been following on game day and the first three pitches from Thorpe were in the strike zone and were called balls. Wish i screenshotted it

[Don Walcott]

Please don’t be hurt.

[FLTwinsGuy]

Like the hustle even with the out

[70charger]

 

It'd be nice to get the lead up to 4 runs or more here....

 

Oh hey

[twins1095]

Cruz over 1000 OPS in his 81st game of the season!

 

His current 162 game pace is:

 

105 runs - 38 2B - 54 HRs - 134 RBI - .385 OBP - 1.001 OPS

 

 

Man is still in his PRIME.

[DocBauer]

IMO, the May bashing is just getting nuts. He may or may not ever live up to his potential. And his last 30 days haven't been great..,a couple bad appearances really skew his numbers...but even this control bas been less than outstanding, his SO numbers are great and his BA against is very good. He's not some bum off the street.

Quick straw poll:

 

1. Angel Hernandez

2. Joe West 

3. CB Bucknor

4. Phil ******* Cuzzi

 

You only get one vote.
