[DocBauer]

Nice! THAT is the May May can be!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

May with a chance at a 3 inning save?? Or is Rogers going to make an appearance?

Actually, Thorpe has been warming...

[FlauerPauer]

Big two innings from Trevor!

[wabene]

Lurch!!!!!

Somebody insert an Adams Family thingy

[stringer bell]

Score a half dozen and let Thorpe finish. 

[DocBauer]

Hello...my name is Byron and I'm a Twins fan.

[wavedog]

Great efficient outing by May - 2 innings with no stress!

[waltomeal]

MAYhew likes your attitude!

[IndyTwinsFan]

Another run or two sure would make the bottom of the ninth much less stressful.

[DocBauer]

Don't know who is up next, but wouldn't Littell make more sense and save Thorpe for tomorrow?

[DocBauer]

MAYhew likes your attitude!

Moment of silence. I believe he passed recently.

[twins_89]

With Duffey/May looking good and the additions of Romo/Dyson the bullpen is starting to look like a lot less of a liability than it was a few weeks ago.

[SwainZag]

Cave looks like an entirely different hitter up there lately.

[operation mindcrime]

Yeah baby!! Diaz is a magician!!

He'd be the magician in Faces of Death II!

[DocBauer]

Anybody else think it would be totally awesome for Cave to steal 2B right now?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Somebody insert an Adams Family thingy

Somebody is working on it right now!

 

[Jham]

When Sano stays inside the baseball... wow.

[DocBauer]

SANO!

 

WALK SLOW CAVE

[operation mindcrime]

SANO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MNT1996]

Into Orbit!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Me, wondering if this is the real Sano

Thanks I figured it'd be you who'd pull this sled

Odor would have ran away from 2nd to meet Cave halfway as the throw sailed into the outfield.

Made a comment the other day with Buck out in regard to Cave needing to find himself and perform. Stated Marwin needed to get hot again as a result. Looks like both are happening.

As much hating on the bullpen I’ve done in the past, it could be pretty solid once September begins:

Rogers, Dyson, Romo, Duffey, Graterol, May, Thorpe, Harper

I would replace Harper with Littell. Harper might not survive in post season.

[Jham]

Into Orbit!

But... gone.

Score a half dozen and let Thorpe finish. 

Well, maybe not a half-dozen, but that two-run bomba makes things more comfortable.

[DocBauer]

And Thorpe ready for tomorrow, if needed, as well as the big 3.

[DocBauer]

5 run lead or not, this where Zach shows he's to be considered for the rest of the season and beyond. Just DO YOUR JOB.

[stringer bell]

I don't know what the results will be tonight, but I like Littell's stuff. Good fastball, cutter and change-up.
