I suppose, I thought he at least threw a fastball around 90, though I know he didn't throw it a lot. 

Romo might have occasionally touched 90 a decade ago. He was 85-88 the past five years or so.

Ummm...why is Cruz batting here?  We don't need more runs, he has a sore wrist, and you're going to be taking him out in the bottom of the 9th anyways.  This is incomprehensible by Rocco right here.

it's his 2nd time up this inning.

I’ve been watching the Wild and pleasantly surprised with the development this game! The winning streak starts now!

[Aggies7]

Is this what it feels like to play the twins

[RickOShea]

Bad ankled Polanco pinch running.  I just shake my head and then spew at rocco's management or credibility.

[Danchat]

Maybe the Orioles will return Wells to us after this series...

[RickOShea]

Too bad we didn't score 4 more runs.  We then could've felt somewhat confident if Colome came in.

It’s pretty apparent he’s letting his injured players get out on the field to see how they feel afterward. It makes sense because they either need to start playing or go on the IL. You can’t have your entire bench injured for a week. 

[RickOShea]

Garvin thinks he's hot stuff right now.  He's got on his pink bow.

Fingers crossed for Colomé. For his confidence and our sanity

[AceWrigley]

Alex Meatball Colomé.

[mnfireman]

Thanks for the show guys, tonight's episode didn't disappoint

[Aggies7]

Man, if colome could have given us like half of what he’s been doing lately, he’d still be closer and the twins would probably be around .500

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Did someone already say it?

[Brock Beauchamp]

That was a lot more like the Twins games we became accustomed to over the past two seasons. 

[SwainZag]

I hate to sound optimistic because opponents were not of high quality...but that's 4 outta 5

Winnah.

[AceWrigley]

Now we know, give Colomé a 5 run lead and he pitches alright.

[AdoreAdorno]

Maybe bat the B team again tomorrow?

[AceWrigley]

Alcala for the win.

[shortround81]

Let's do this!

Given the injuries on this roster, there is no A option right now. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

The final couple of runs in the 8th deprived Colome of a save opportunity.

I'm not sure i see a downside...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Good night all!
