Guessing Maeda is professional enough to want the win more than anything

[Mill1634]

HIP HIP!

[DocBauer]

Polanco is...you know...GOOD

[operation mindcrime]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Doubled our score.

 

Can't complain.

[IndianaTwin]

111 pitches is his career high.

[DocBauer]

Don't chew fingernails, but can chew on some McDonald's fries

[IndianaTwin]

K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-Kenta

[bighat]

Wow this is getting tense! Let's gooooo!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

One k in a row...

[DocBauer]

Just to bad fans can't be there for this

Less pressure without fans?

So much said about unwritten rules this week, with the discussion trending toward they're old-fashioned and should no longer be part of the game. But do you think anyone is going to mention "no hitter" in the Twins dugout? And if anyone breaks it up with a bunt all hell will break loose.

[DocBauer]

Need a double play ball here

[MNT1996]

Yeah he's tired

[IndianaTwin]

The at bat by Narvaez lasting 10 pitches may be the one that keeps him from the ninth.

K12

He has to stay in, if he has no-no. (imo)

[Mill1634]

8 no hit innings...112 pitches. I'd be shocked to see him go out there for the 9th. 

[MNT1996]

This is going to be an interesting decision 

[SS MagicMark]

The walk means that Yelich gets another plate appearance.

[Diesel]

well.... 3 more outs.... someone’s gotta get them

[Brock Beauchamp]

I so badly want to see him go out but think it’s a really bad decision to send him out.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I'd be surprised to see Maeda back out there for the 8th

[IndianaTwin]

With Hill likely going tomorrow night, I thought we were done with bullpen games, but I’ll bet we get one in five days. 

[Nine of twelve]

Tuned in just before the walk. Rocco needs to manage this like it's a 2-run game, not like it's a no-hitter. If he sends Maeda back out it should be on a very very short leash.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Gladden says it’s not even a discussion. He gives up the hit or hit gets the no no. I tend to agree.

[DocBauer]

Sorry, you absolutely can't send him out for the 9th at this point.

 

Sorry, not sorry, how can you not send him out for the 9th?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Covering your bets, Doc?
