Nice popup, rook!

[stringer bell]

 

I'd like to see the bottom two start a big inning, please. Thank you!

Something like that!

[Blake]

 

Disclaimer: as the least creative poster here, it’s extra bad when I’m in a rush. Please be kind when i shamelessly rip off your schtick, it’s in admiration.

Hah, jokes on you! My schtick isn't worth ripping off! Oh, wait.....

LaMonte Wade Jr... :-)

[LVTwinsfan]

Bremers right for once , swing the bats!!!

[mrtwinsfan]

BIG STRIKE ZONE TONIGHT

[Blake]

Wait, wut? Wade either walks or goes yard?

[stringer bell]

I don't know if Arraez will hit .340 in a season, but I don't think he'll ever have a really long slump.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Yankees 295 homers, 6 games to play.

Twins 293 homers, 8 games to play.

 

Need a couple of bombas tonight to tie it up.

That’s one. 295-294. CBU

[Blake]

 

Is it wrong to say "I concur"?

Personally, I think it means he fits right in.

[Aggies7]

Yeah. The Twins haven't exactly been breezing by KC with ease so far. It's been tough sledding to get these first 2 wins.

 

Cleveland just needs to lose one freaking game here but they're just red hot. A lot of posters saying last week that "Cleveland has to go 11-2 to to have a chance", etc, etc....well, they look like they will go 11-2.

And they’ve got injuries too. I see how the twins are struggling with bad teams and now the Indians have moved on to playing a competitive team and it’s the same story. Hard to believe you have 95 wins and sweat right down to the wire.

[mrtwinsfan]

Hey Bremer if K.C. dosent lose 100 we not going nowhere

[LVTwinsfan]

In the final 8 games if the Twins post a winning record, the Indians cannot catch them

[mrtwinsfan]

Nice quick inning- jose,  Now lets light up Sparky

[mrtwinsfan]

Hope Dobnak didnt plan a long Honey moon

[Blake]

Good to see Cave back in the lineup.

[stringer bell]

Get that tying run in!

[stringer bell]

Time for an infrequent Castro hit.

[mrtwinsfan]

Cmon Castro - 4 month slump

[tvagle]

WTP (What the Puck) I thought this Wolfgang name thing was going to follow Bacon's Law:

 

Wolfgang leads to Wolfgang Johannes Puck

Which branches out two ways:

 

Johan-nes

 

and  Puck

At least we got Castro's bat out of the way for next inning.

[mrtwinsfan]

And it continues, for Castro

[tvagle]

 

In the final 8 games if the Twins post a winning record, the Indians cannot catch them

That's some good math right there

same pattern every at bat-  get ahead fastball 92+  Done deal

[insagt1]

There are some who continue to feel Astudillo has no value, but Castro is a total liability at the plate. I don;'t think his 'd' is enough to justify playing him when he can't hit a lick.

[Krabby5]

Man..the Indians just won’t go away...

[stringer bell]

Nice to see velo of 95 from Berríos.

[Brian450]

I am going to laugh so hard when the Indians win 95 games, but miss out on the post-season (losing a wild card spot to the Rays).

[Nine of twelve]

In a similar vein, if the Twins win this and the next two series, Cleveland can do no better than wild card.
