To be fair, Cruz and Sanó didn't fare much better.

They made contact, Cave swung at two curve balls that he missed by a yard

[USAFChief]

nice.

[stringer bell]

Big double play!

[USAFChief]

last hitter for Maeda, either way.

[stringer bell]

I'm sure this is Maeda's last inning. More guys are getting on. Also over 90 pitches. 

[Sielk]

They made contact, Cave swung at two curve balls that he missed by a yard

Yeah, okay, so they did a bit better but neither of those sky-high pop ups was what I would call solid contact.

[Nine of twelve]

 

last hitter for Maeda, either way.

That's the good way.

[stringer bell]

Great outing for Maeda. Bring it home bullpen.

[Diesel]

What a night for Maeda. Outduelling the likely Cy Young winner is impressive

[Mill1634]

Fantastic outing by Maeda for not only matching Bieber, but flat out out-dueiling him. He didn't run into any trouble all night, other than the 7th inning, and kept hitters off balance. 

[USAFChief]

I guess we'll have to live with 7 shutout IP from Maeda. A bit disappointing, but what are ya gonna do?

[LVTwinsfan]

Good shot of the UMD Bulldog on the tail of that jet

Home is where the batter is, right? Yeah, i agree. Bring it home.

 

And don't let the other team bring anything home.

[USAFChief]

F-16

[USAFChief]

In general I like a 3-0 green light. Maybe not Marwin Gonzalez though.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Insurance run(s) please?

[LVTwinsfan]

Yeah, okay, so they did a bit better but neither of those sky-high pop ups was what I would call solid contact.

never said solid, Cave swing at two pitches way out of the zone that’s all

[Nine of twelve]

BAM!

[USAFChief]

Bingo.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Insurance run(s) please?

Thank you, Jeffers.

[Nine of twelve]

 

Insurance run(s) please?

Request granted.

[LVTwinsfan]

That helps

[operation mindcrime]

JEFFERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mill1634]

JEFFERS JACK!!!

I went to the VA this afternoon for a checkup, I have been feeling...off. Different. Odd.

The doc ran a plethora of tests, and finally called me into his office. "I have some results," he said. "Your DNA, it's...backwards."

I looked at him and replied with the first thing that came to mind.

"And?"

 

I may have mentioned this before, but thanks for using the word “plethora” in this story. It means a lot.

[LVTwinsfan]

Let’s give the Bieb his first loss

[sampleSizeOfOne]

never said solid, Cave swing at two pitches way out of the zone that’s all

So... liquid contact vs. gaseous contact?

[USAFChief]

Insurance run(s) please?

Jeffers: "challenge...accepted. "

Watching the Twins and the Cardinals earlier in the week, I was impressed that the Cardinals seem to have the same classic uniforms every time I have seen them. Similarly, other "historic" teams such as the Red Sox and Yankees don't change uniforms every year, if ever. Why can't the Twins do that?

 

You mean, like use Senators jerseys?

So... liquid contact vs. gaseous contact?

contactless is the trend these days
