What's Pinedos? Is that some new cereal from General Mills?

My bad. Pineda is. But if General Mills wants to market it, i don't mind.

I rail on Sano. I appreciate the power. I would prefer more 2-5 days than the 0-4 he usually gives. Does this make me Tom Kelly?

Little baked baseball players, that taste like crap.

No, it just means you have standards

Sano. Athletic for a big man.

Yes, just ask any dept store saleswomen.

He should enroll at U of Minnesota and play defensive end.  Not so sure about baseball skills.

[ashbury]

Sano with a homer at a critical time... most welcome, sir!

[SanoMustGo]

Minor still pitching...apparently Matheny uses a different spreadsheet than Rocco

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Duffy delivers. For at least an inning.

[PDX Twin]

Wow, a clean inning from the BP with a one-run lead. Isn't that against club policy?

[mrtwinsfan]

Duffey 6-7 pitches,  Rocco pleez leave him in

[h2oface]

And Celestino was calling for it from center..... Garlick ignored him.

So nice to see Duffey having a quick inning and against the heart of the order.

No, it's ok for one inning, but not consecutive.  If it happens in the 8th, someone will get fined.

[h2oface]

OK Josh. You are supposed to be swinging the hot bat. That means you can't go 0-4!

[SanoMustGo]

Cruz with 2hr, 4 RBI his last 24 games

[h2oface]

WHY CAN'T THESE GUYS BUNT!

[h2oface]

Hot Polanco and Donaldson just go 0-8. Damn

I don't know.

 

Why can't they bunt?

Ya but...... don't you believe that new wisdom that RBI are meaningless? You know, the same folks that think hits with RISP ARE valuable. 

[h2oface]

This means Robles in the 9th? Yikes. We need some runs in the top of the 9th. 7 Pitches must have stressed Duffey out.

[h2oface]

Only 12 pitches. Can Rogers take the 9th?

I'd certainly have Rogers start the 9th, Robles will start it with a walk if he gets the chance.

Gordon hit a HR right after Sano last night.....

Ok, so I'm not going nuts.  Thanks.

[RickOShea]

Morneau is getting old real fast.  He could rationalize a guy out of a sexual assault charge.  Too big a homer, causes a loss of credibility.

Just getting dementia....

[mrtwinsfan]

Comparing Duffet to rodgers 12 pitches , and Rodgers will need 2-3 off days, Rocco u r a  ??????????????????

[h2oface]

Talk about the Twins giving up quick innings at the plate. The last 3 inning were ridiculous.

[h2oface]

One run is not enough......
