Even 1 run this inning gets us into this game

[operation mindcrime]

Good job Ehire!!!!!

[IndianaTwin]

Maeda, Hill, Berrios on Monday-Wednesday, with no starter announced for Sunday yet. With the Dobmeister going tomorrow, that sounds like a bullpen game on Sunday. I'm assuming it was Maeda's high pitch count that scootched things back a day.

Adrianza is the sac fly king. He'll get an RBI here.

There's 1!

 

I am gonna be greedy and hope Kepler can bring in Vargas. Or at least keep it alive.

Id bet Maeda pitches Sunday, 4 days rest should be fine

The Monday-Wednesday starters were listed by the TV folks, who noted no one announced for Sunday. That's what MLB.com is listing as well.

Maeda doesn't pitch Sunday, it was just announced that he starts on Monday.

 

Edit: Sorry for the double post.

hahaahaaa not to make light of it but has anyone noticed the logos on our batting helmets? Last night i did a double take when I saw Adrianza's was like crooked. Now tonight after the fielder's choice i noticed Eddie's was like upside down and on top of the helmet almost. Got to be one of the most hilarious things.....I know....i have a weird sense of humor

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I just turned the game on during the Sano at bat. What the hell happened?

Sorry no one answered...

 

A double, a single, a pop that caught Sano over running it slightly that fell behind 1st in play that brought a run in, followed by a homer. 4-0 no puts.

[Channing1964]

Worth noting that Jake probably made a big mistake taking that qualifying offer. With the Covid-19 shortened season, he's going to have to really turn things around quickly in order to earn a deal anywhere close to what he'd have made this past off-season. Real bad luck for Jake.

 

Twins may be able to resign him at a discount if things keep going this way. Question is, do they want him? A contender probably won't. Look for him to sign with MN or end up in somewhere like Miami or Detroit.

i bet he begs to come back....he likes to win too much

[70charger]

Stop dropping popups! Come on!

[Channing1964]

I appreciate it too.

 

Be boring if all senses of humor were the same.

Guys are still getting used to playing together, but I think Vargas should have called Sano off.

[Aggies7]

Gonna be interesting going into the playoffs with one trustworthy SP

Terrible strike 3 call on Jeffers there.

[operation mindcrime]

Thanks man, don't ever be sorry! I could've looked on ESPN. I was just disappointed that we were already losing 4-0 after the 1st inning. Hope we can pull this out somehow!

[LVTwinsfan]

Home field advantage in baseball has little to do with the fans. The biggest advantage is last ups

[operation mindcrime]

Nice hit Cave!!!!!

[operation mindcrime]

Nice hit Cruz!!!!!

[IndianaTwin]

I'd welcome him back, but with Berrios, Maeda, Dobnak, and Pineda all under contract 2021, I'll be a bit surprised if they want to offer him a multiyear contract. I'm guessing that's what he's looking for. 

[operation mindcrime]

C'mon Sano!!!!!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

C'mon 2 out rally!

[LVTwinsfan]

Let’s get one more this inning

[70charger]

Is it just me or have the umps been markedly worse this year? I'm all for robot umps anyway, but it seems much more noticeable lately.

No problem. It happens all the time.
