[MNT1996]

Littell and Dyson looked like identical twins on that bench

[IndianaTwin]

CRUZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not to go all Grammar Cop on you, but I think the correct spelling has one more “O.”

[mrtwinsfan]

Gibby -its the royals

[ashbury]

C'mon Gibby, get that third strike.

[operation mindcrime]

Ugh!

[mrtwinsfan]

Gibson that was terrible  sequence to hamilton,  r him and garver blind?  Bert was right, All in all Gibby == OK START

[ashbury]

Ugh!

I think he showed courage, but basically was gassed by the time of the last pitch.

[IndyTwinsFan]

I'm getting some ugly flashbacks to last night. Let's not go there, please!

Welcome to the TBE -- the Twins Bullpen Experience.  This ride is meant for our guests' enjoyment but if you have heart, respiratory, or motion sickness issues, you might want to sit this one out.  When the gates open, please sit down, pull the shoulder harness down until it clicks and attach the safety belt.  An attendant will be around to check each seat.  Please remove all loose items and keep hands and feet inside the apparatus at all times.  Thank you and enjoy your ride.

[IndyTwinsFan]

WHEW!

[wavedog]

Harper didn’t allow any inherited runs! Yay!

[DocBauer]

OK, had to slip away for a couple minutes. Gibson good, Harper good. Twins win the WS. I miss anything else?

[ashbury]

Harper didn’t allow any inherited runs! Yay!

Right man for the job, clearly.

At this point Schoop is a nice depth piece.

If he keeps making errors and not driving in runners, I am not sure he is that nice of depth piece. Gordon is still waiting for his opportunity.

[ashbury]

Welp, getting a bit late for this east coast boy. Catch you all tomorrow, hopefully with a nice game recap to read.

[VATwinsFan]

It’s good to have a Cron back.

[MVP Nick Punto]

Stashak 1 pitch per out. Got it figured!

[Nine of twelve]

 

It’s good to have a Cron back.

Tall oaks from little a Crons grow. Or something like that.

[wavedog]

Why can’t Harper stay and pitch the 8th. Are they worried about the relief pitchers cooling down between innings? Doesn’t stop them from using Rogers for multiple innings.

Unfortunately, those loose items are the ones coming out of the bullpen all too often.

GONNA GO OUT ON A LIMB,   Twins win 

[MVP Nick Punto]

GONNA GO OUT ON A LIMB, Twins win

Jinx. We're dead. Your fault.

[jz7233]

Escobar has 7 RBIs in tonight's game against Nationals. 2 Homers, one 2-run homer off Strasburg, one 3-run homer off Brian Dozier. Escobar now has 88 RBIs and 24 homers in the season.

A HR with Dozier pitching? Now that's something!

Doesn’t look like Dozier exceeded 70 mph. That’s crazy!

[AZTwin]

Doesn’t look like Dozier exceeded 70 mph. That’s crazy!

The Orioles pitcher was just lobbing them over the other night and got the win haha. I can’t remember if his fastest pitch was 56 or 65 mph

 

Edit it was 56 mph.

I miss the heck out of him.

 

Not so much Dozey.

 

Boy, how's that gonna play in that 'ex-Twins in the Boxscores' chat?

I think Dozier is still better than Schoop.

[David HK]

Heh... I just had to look at the highlight-

 

Escobar hits a dinger off Dozier--

 

behind the plate?

Kurt Suzuki

 

An ex-Twinkie-palooza!

[Squirrel]

I think Dozier is still better than Schoop.

I don’t. Not over all.
