Can’t hit the ball if you don’t swing the bat

[Sielk]

I just hope Arraez gets out of that slump soon. Three games in a row without a hit is just not normal for him.

Drop the hammer!!!!!

[Mill1634]

As good as the ump was the other day, this one is on the complete other end of the spectrum

What's that song about the graceful way May zings it in there?

[John Kelsey]

Maybe Adrianza should have taken off his 80s ski goggles.

It was a mite unfortunate.

[operation mindcrime]

Sit down Franmil!!!!!

[FlauerPauer]

Got a gift there!

[shortround81]

No matter what happens this season, at least we're not the Mets. Jeepers!

[Mill1634]

May with a gift, but I will take it! Interested to see what happens here in the 9th, as Romo isn't great against lefties, but Rogers has thrown 3 of the past 4 days, and two days in a row

[operation mindcrime]

Way to go May!!!!!

What's that song about the graceful way May zings it in there?

"A May's zing grace, how sweet the sound it makes in Mitch's Glove.

The batter stares in disbelief, too flummuxed e'en to move."

[John Kelsey]

Karinchak vs. Buxton was never going to end any other way. 

[70charger]

Just not Buxton’s day.

[FlauerPauer]

 

Just not Buxton’s day.

 

He hasn't had a day yet.

[operation mindcrime]

Nice hit Jorge!!!!!

[70charger]

Quite the duel there. Too bad Cruz couldn’t pull out a hit.

[FlauerPauer]

C'mon Romo!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Top of the 9th!

 

Palpable tension in the empty stadium!

[Nine of twelve]

I can't wait for the day when pitch framing is no longer part of the game. Automated strike calling systems have outperformed humans for some time now. Enacting that change can't happen too soon.

Amen!!!!! \m/

[FlauerPauer]

Winner winner, chicken dinner!

[Squirrel]

What a great pitch to end the game! That's my ROMO!!!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Winnah.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Now what do we do?

[Mill1634]

Twins Win!!!

 

I'll take any win over any team on a bullpen day, especially one against the most competitive team (besides us) in the division, and 3-1 to finish out the weekend is awesome. The pitching has been fantastic, and the offense jumps on early.

 

Until tomorrow,

 

Go Twins!!!

[Channing1964]
