Gotta be a game at the end of August or early September when we wrap this up to rest him a game right?

 

Yeah... I'd like to see it. He looks like he could use it. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Cmon--- took forever for Sano to bend over, should of had that for 2

[LVTwinsfan]

What a joke

[DocBauer]

Depends ... there is a line to divide old and young.

 

I put that line at ... 63 ... if you are 63 or older, you're old. If you are younger than 63, you're not. Yet.

53, mistaken for 10yrs younger, most of my friends are in their 30's act like I'm in my 20's, feel 30-ish most days...I like your premise but think I might keep pushing that schedule back year by year. Lol

It's just never easy, is it? Score 8 runs in the first two innings with your best pitcher on the mound?

Twins pitching says: welcome to a nail-biter.

[mrtwinsfan]

Jake Cave the best 4a player we got

[Riverbrian]

 

Snowman?

 

My father-in-law can't pronounce his name and he really doesn't know much about him so he calls him "pumpkin head". 

 

With all due respect of course. 

 

So... I figure I'd have to grow a pumpkin or something. How long does that take? 

[LVTwinsfan]

8-3 in the second and the Twins have their backs against the wall

Berrios is not the Twins best pitcher

[MNT1996]

Heck I'd take Pineda in game 1 ALDS 

[gocgo]

We can't lose this...a chance to expand the lead. What thinks about having Jose skip a start?

[Riverbrian]

Santana has gotten a little better. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Be nice if we EVER see Byron again  so Marwin can play 3rd more, Sano can play 1b if Cron  ??

[DocBauer]

I was going to come in and say something humorous like: "so what do we do for the rest of the game? Play online Trivia Pursuit and just check the score and hilights on occasion?"

 

Doesn't seem appropriate now.

 

Thank goodness I won't be the cause of any JINX at this point.

[bighat]

Disgusting!

[MNT1996]

94 right down the middle

[PDX Twin]

Does Berrios have options left?

[IndyTwinsFan]

This recent practice of giving runs back immediately after scoring has got to stop. The sooner the better.

[mrtwinsfan]

2-0 bottom of 2, how i see it

[Danchat]

Well, that article was right about Berrios struggling in August - not good, considering he's our "ace"!

[DocBauer]

Santana has gotten a little better.

 

Turning in to the guy we all hoped and wished he would be about 4yrs ago.

[yarnivek1972]

Concerning doesn’t even begin to describe Berrios’ outing.

[Danchat]

 

Does Berrios have options left?

He does have one option left, but I imagine he gets IL'd over getting demoted.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Looks like we have the bad Berrios tonight. Score 8 times in the first 2 innings and we're in a nail-biter already. SHEESH!

[mrtwinsfan]

Both teams r gonna hit - at this pace we win 36 to 27,  

[Krabby5]

94 right down the middle

..and 430 feet up the middle the other way

[DocBauer]

Pre-game mentioned poor run support for Berrios. I blame them.

[ashbury]

Berrios is on his way now to 27 consecutive outs.

All right, you jinx-gods, I thought you appreciated a sense of humor. Surely you didn't think I was serious??? OK, I'll desist now.

[VATwinsFan]

Is there any reason to let Berrios pitch the 3d? Why not put Thorpe or Litell in to see what they can do?

[MNT1996]

Gonzo just a hit machine right now
