[Mill1634]

Happ not quite Marcus Stroman, but that was the correct call on 2nd look

yep, you could easily argue he interfered with Tortuga making the catch

[Mill1634]

CAVE CRUSH

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Cave with a dinger...

 

As expected.

[Mike Sixel]

I did NOT have Tortuga and Cave hitting HR on my bingo card.....

[Aggies7]

Cave and the turtle with homers. What in the world 

[MNT1996]

Cave with the HR when Kirilloff comes up. Funny how that happens

[Nine of twelve]

He was correctly ruled out. The batter-runner's instinct to run straight for the base is against the rules, and for good reason.

[LVTwinsfan]

Home run

Sorry, a little slow on the draw tonight.

Cave and the turtle with homers. What in the world

and one of them is our best reliever

It's baseball. Always go for what you don't expect.

[operation mindcrime]

Way to go Jake Cave!

I also did not have Happ pitching like the Ace of the pitching staff

[Nine of twelve]

Haven't seen the whole game, but it Dicknroy are talking about Happ having allowed no hits in spite of not pitching that great. I think that the fact that the opposition is the Pirates has something to do with that.

This made me look up the stats.....is it true or am I having a stroke, the twins have the 4th highest BA in baseball and the Cubs are hitting .200 as a team?

[Aggies7]

Unfortunately for happ, he’s thrown more pitches than colome was allowed to the other day so Rocco might be getting antsy

[LVTwinsfan]

Rocco needs to quit acting like Jonah Hill and put the computer away

[Shaitan]

On the bright side, I don't think you ever worry about a 38 year-old's pitch count.

[Aggies7]

I swear to god if Rocco pulls him....I’ll probably just keep sitting here drinking beer

[MMMordabito]

Rocco can drop dead, if he pulls Happ while he still has a no-hitter. You don't take that away from a 38 yo.

[LVTwinsfan]

Here’s a thought. The Twins are in last place, it’s cold and only a few thousand fans in the seats. Give them a chance for history and leave Happ in

[RickOShea]

Oh Happ y Day, so far!

[Aggies7]

But have someone ready to go...anyone except colome

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Does Happ get a long leash with or without a bigger lead?

[Aggies7]

Looks like the guys want to get to the top of the inning.

[RickOShea]

No strike outs for Garver, tonite.  This is a surprise night.

 

[MNT1996]

They look like they've wanted to get to the top of the inning a lot this season

[Mike Sixel]

I'd go to 110 or so....but his arm is still part of a human body.......Or, if he starts losing steam....

[RickOShea]

I see Colome driving a new SUV, with personalized plates "Windy City".
