Garlick thought bubble: “a five-run home run ties the game”

Ooooh, it would have been better if Garlick calls Kirilloff off.

If both left fielders defer to the nonexistent center fielder on that fly ball, it will never be caught.

Bringer of drought.

Donaldson thought bubble that at bat:

”if I hit a 7-run home run here, it gives us a 2 run lead”

It would be par for the course ?

Astudillo shall be he who leads them 

Stranded on third.

Voight-Kampff test just isn't as meaningful any more...

Is that part of the test?

He did expire there.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

At least the bleeding has stopped.

 

Elevate our game and apply constant pressure. Leastwise that is what i remember from my first aid classes...

[Aerodeliria]

The Twins thought they were playing the Yankees today; I guess they still do.

Either we are not administering it properly, or our team is mere human beings.

 

Cruz on second. Good start.

[ashbury]

Way to leg it, old man!

Also, going into shock stops the bleeding 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Rortvedt almost had it.

We've been in shock for quite some time now. How long does it take to recover?

[ashbury]

Too bad Rortvedt looks so overmatched against the lefty.  Wanted him to join this little hit parade that's brewing up.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Kirilloffed to the left field corner!

 

Only down 4 now. Kirilloff replaces Cruz on second.

two-bits says Polanco has a body piercing.

Concur.

[RickOShea]

Sano checks dugout reading/ eye chart as he goes to on deck circle. Tells Rocco:  "yep, Skip, I see the wall where the chart is posted on".

[h2oface]

If this was the Twins on defense, and the bullpen bringing a new pitcher in, you could count on at least 2 scoring and we be at 6-4.

[RickOShea]

Sano tells Rocco. " Since I can't reach that low, outside pitch, they always strike me out on, how about if I just stand in the left handed hitter's box"?

[umterp23]

So is it a bonus that Sano hasn't struck out yet?  absolutely not

but it is not the Twins bullpen......

[mikelink45]

Terrific Sano gets thrown out and Astudillo loses a base hit.  But the real highlight is that Sano has not struck out yet. 

[Danchat]

Man, I am just done with Sano. He's a sub-replacement value hitter who Ks like crazy, is now consistently hitting with soft contact, and is only playable when he's hot, which lasts for about 7-14 days. This is hard to watch.

Did Sano not run with two outs? I'm just using Gameday so I can't tell...

[ashbury]

MINAYA!!!!

Oh, wait, oops.

[mikelink45]

Glad we got the experience of Juan Minaya!  The Orioles are happy too.

 

[Danchat]

Bringing up Minaya never made any sense, it really only adds to this FO's love for mediocre 30-ish relievers that they think they can fix...
