Given our track record on inherited runners scoring - this game appears to be over.  

[AceWrigley]

So far (9 innings) there is one video highlight on ESPN for this game; Wall vs Refsnyder. About sums up this game i guess.

[RickOShea]

That's nice.  He gives up a bloop hits, and gets rewarded with the possibility of being the losing pitcher.  If the leash was that tight, why not let him in the dugout.  The only possible reason to run him out there was for him to face Mancini.

[MMMordabito]

Berrios burned by his offense, and he's going in for a chemical deGromming procedure.

[stringer bell]

Inherited runner? Yeah, the Twins' bullpen has got this.

[AceWrigley]

The dreaded 0-2 on Santander.

[RickOShea]

This is just more of the same old, same old.

[AceWrigley]

Waht? A 1-2-3 strikout? Inconceivable.

[AceWrigley]

Best relief outing 2021 Twins.

[stringer bell]

Key stat. The Twins are 1-0 in their last one extra inning games.

[wavedog]

Nice to see Berrios with such a well-pitched game!  Rogers wrapped up the 9th nicely as well.  Now to slay the extra innings dragon again.  Hopefully our offense can make contact with the ball.

[howeda7]

Bunt for once.

Um there was a 7 pitch inning by some guy named Astudillo.

PH  Turtle

[Aggies7]

That’s how you lose 13 in a row

[stringer bell]

OK, scored a run in extras without a homer.

[IndianaTwin]

Why be RISPy, when you've got Refsy? 

 

 

[RickOShea]

Beautiful!   What a great call by rocco.  Eliminate trying to win, make the other team try and lose it.  Not over, yet.

[Aggies7]

Do not even think about putting Robles in for Taylor 

[stringer bell]

BTW, it's not against the rules to score more than one run in the tenth inning.

Is that new rule?  Did Manfred send the memo to Minnesota?

The Twins know that. They've never scored only 1.

Hip Hip Jorge

New rule. If visiting team homers in extra innings, and the ball is thrown back into the field of play, the homer is negated.   I like it!!!!!

See -- this way we don't have to worry about whether Jorge can get RISPy!!

[SanoMustGo]

Hey, you think Plutko will be available soon?

 

[stringer bell]

Donaldson with three hits today. Maybe a hot steak?

[Danchat]

At least Jorge and Josh are punishing Plutko for leaving cookies over the plate. Too many fouling off these good pitches for this offense. 

[stringer bell]

Close Alex!
