Good lord I thought it was the 8th inning

[bighat]

Ugly game. Hope something good comes of this, like motivation for tomorrow. One of the worst games - if not the worst - this team has played all year.

Stashak needs to be sent back to Rochester. Thorpe is better.

[BigDaveBaseballNut]

 

Stashak, uninspiring

Yeah he's pitching battling practice

[bighat]

Stashak will be on the next flight out to Rochester it appears. The Australian kid ready yet or does he still need another few days down there?

[Aggies7]

The only thing to do with this game

[jz7233]

 

This must be how everyone else has felt playing the twins this year

This must be how Baltimore felt playing the Twins. 

[Aggies7]

Poor stashak’s line isn’t pretty

[DiscGolfer]

only 3 or 4 runs every inning the rest of the game and we win

[BigDaveBaseballNut]

Damn that homer by Nelson Cruz was a rocket

Nice jump Donaldson. Almost had it

I think I saw yesterday was the anniversary of the biggest comeback in MLB, maybe we can top that tonight

[MNT1996]

Damnit Berrios why couldn't you have just given us a quality start

[BigDaveBaseballNut]

Garver nails that now the Twins only need 8 more runs

[DiscGolfer]

Rats. We got greedy!

[BigDaveBaseballNut]

Wow that was a great catch

Good to see the ABs by Sano.  Good to see him also publicly acknowledging weaknesses in his game and the willingness to work on this weaknesses.  He is saying he's trying to work his approach to try and drive the ball to right center field at the scoreboard allowing him to let the ball get deeper into counts.  He also said he's been working on his ability to have multiple swings and approaches when needed which should make him a better situational hitter.

Cave is going to hit a walk off grand slam in the bottom of the 9th to win over the fans. Heard it here first

[DiscGolfer]

Maybe Buxton can learn something from Cave there

[Danchat]

Cave made a good play in CF? Well, that's refreshing!

Maybe Buxton can learn something from Cave there

I don't want Buxton to even watch Cave.

[MNT1996]

3 runs per inning. We got this
