Eddie giveth.

 

And Eddie taketh away.

I still have NO idea what they're singing in those TRIA ads.

 

Anybody?

I think it's "freedom"? I dunno, my folks were debating that the other day too.

Rocco looks good on the pinch runner move.

 

I was mad at him last nite for not running Buxton.  This was the proper move and it could be the winning move.

[Nine of twelve]

 

And the decision to pinch run pays dividends.

 

edit: ninja'd. By an OLLLLDDDDDD man, too. sheesh

Takes one to know one.

[Danchat]

I do think it's the right time to go to the bullpen - Pineda's at 92 pitches, and we play 2 games the next 4 days. There will be time for the pen to rest up.

Good thing for Wade on that catch that Steve Bartman was not in attendance.

Another game where we have to go 4 innings with the bullpen

[Nine of twelve]

Now that was a nice inning by Duffey. Let's see him do it again.

[TwinsCD]

Please leave Duffey in for the 7th.

[mrtwinsfan]

GOTTA GIVE THE dUFF THE 7TH  ??

[USAFChief]

The Duff-miester.

[howeda7]

Really Rocco. Pineda can't go more than 5?

[stringer bell]

92 pitches for Pineda, most under some stress. I don't think it makes much sense to bring him out for the sixth. They hit quite a few balls hard and the bullpen is rested. 

[MNT1996]

I'm getting ready to strap in for the Rogers Experience coming up in 2 innings.

[USAFChief]

 

Please leave Duffey in for the 7th.

How about we put up an 8 spot and, and not need Duffey?

[wsnydes]

Make it 9 and we have a deal!

[operation mindcrime]

KABOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[USAFChief]

And SANO-ZEE finishes off the 3 run inning with a 2 run DONG to left!!!

 

 

wait, what?

[Longdistancetwins]

 

OK, so that's a manufactured run. Now I'd like to see a 450-footer over Waveland Ave.

OK, we’ll take it.  Thanks for the call.

yeah, I’m over it

[howeda7]

It's almost as much as the the Fernando Rodney Experience. 

[MNT1996]

That should be an error

[USAFChief]

 

OK, we’ll take it.  Thanks for the call.

pffft...that did not go OVER Waveland. 1st bounce, maybe.

[LVTwinsfan]

That ivy is ridiculous

[mrtwinsfan]

Max - needed that break, Hope he sees Trevor Bauer next weekend here,

[USAFChief]

 

That ivy is ridiculous

If by ridiculous, you mean iconic and beautiful, then yeah.
