A seeing-eye single gets our broadcast crew rhapsodizing about how this is what can get a team going.

Baseball's '3.5 yards and a cloud of dust...'  The Twins are just setting up the Sox for the 40 yard TD strike to Jefferson.

Glutton for punishment just like the rest of us!

Misery loves company!

[Aggies7]

Miguel 3-20 since returning from the IL. He’ll figure it out soon

[ashbury]

Sano would have made that play on the popup behind first base, right? (If he hadn't been at bat, I mean.)

[brycenation]

Roy just keeps up the positive takes......right now he and Dick are dipping into the left handed toasts supply and trying to get the next 90 minutes over.....

[jun]

Sano has to be let go. Is he blind or what? He is just up there hacking. He cannot see or hit anything. He is pretty much an automatic out.

[brycenation]

Also put the flex season pass commercials back in the hopper and play some Audra or Annie playing catch with Garv Sauce.....

[Vanimal46]

Once it warms up in Minneapolis that ball is going to fly out of the ballpark*!

Rocco informs the team of midterm Fangraph WAR grades...

"Miguel Sano... Zero point three... NEGATIVE zero point three"

Never say die!

Yes.

Stone hands Garver strikes again. 

 

I belive he has the worst hands of any MLB player I've ever seen.

[LaBombo]

Twins pitching bathes itself in more glory as Billy 'Buck and a Quarter' Hamilton collects his fourth hit of the night... in the 6th inning.

[jimbo92107]

Bottom of the 6th: Sano doesn't bother to get his glove down on a "hit," and then Garver doesn't bother watching a Duffey curve all the way into his mitt. 

Losing is one thing; not trying is unprofessional. 

[LaBombo]

Usually TV ads are an interruption or at best a chance to be away for a minute without missing anything.

Tonight they're a reprieve.

[LaBombo]

Colome looked remarkably similar to a major league pitcher against that last batter, so it's probably a nice note to end on.  Good night and good luck!

[jimbo92107]

Top of the 9th coming up. Astudillo to pitch?

[AceWrigley]

I think his ex-Sox teammates felt bad for him, let him get them out ... it's the only explanation.

[AceWrigley]

The only efficiency with the Twins is they've given up 13 runs on only 14 hits, very efficient.

[AceWrigley]

Billy Hamilton . . . 4 for 4 . . . ha ha ha ha.

[HokieRif]

[Danchat]

I did not expect Larnach's first career hit to come off Hendriks, but I'll take it!

[adorduan]

Congrats to Larnach on his 1st hit...

[Aggies7]

9 inning games should not be 4 hours

the twins should not be this bad

 

 

thata all I got 

[adorduan]

Garver missed that slider by 2 feet....

 

[jimbo92107]

Astudillo puts his glove down. No need for the late-game ace on this day. 

[AceWrigley]

whew.
