Duffey performs 2 games in a row! Awesome.

I didn't miss it. Did you miss the 104 mph lazer he hit to left field immediately following that comment?

Forgive me for not being satisfied with a .240 batter with a .600 something OPS. I don't know why I keep hoping for the potential to actually happen. I really don't. Makes me look like a fool. At least I never spell Kirilloff's name wrong!

[Sielk]

I don't know what Nick Gordon's ceiling really is. Maybe he will never be more than a utility player. 

But I absolutely LOVE watching him play. 

[h2oface]

Struck out against a guy with a man bun. Damn.

[h2oface]

WE NEED THIS INSURANCE RUN!

[RickOShea]

Didn't Simmons play Huggie Bear on Starsky and Hutch?

[RickOShea]

Dyson walks, steals second, and scores on a bloop hit. Tie game.

I hate any term that uses "man"- _________. Are you afraid your balls are gonna fall off if a man has long hair, uses a bag, etc.?

No. I have long hair. I make custom leather man-bags. Whoops, There it is again. Maybe call it a murse? I call them AerBags, using my first name.....

This Twins offense is allergic to giving the pitchers any kind of cushion to work with.

It's called, "want to be needed'.

[RickOShea]

effin' Brooks Robinson @ 3rd?

[RickOShea]

Just when you wan to bench Polanco, the little squirt comes up with a big hit.

[h2oface]

10 hits and just 2 runs. We need one here.

[h2oface]

Sano is soooooo lost.

[Longdistancetwins]

Ugh.

[h2oface]

Just wanted to give Rogers an inherited runner instead of a clean set of bases. We do so good with them. And that's what the spread sheet says. Maybe practicing for extra innings. And we that pay attention know that Rogers is not so good when pitching 2 days in a row.

Wait so do you want Rogers in with a clean set of bases or not because it's been two days in a row. Can't tell...

Ian Anderson is out after Friday night and Colome would be only other arm available, I believe. I can only imagine what your negative comment would be if he threw Colome out there.

[bighat]

Nice K Rodgers. Two more, certainly gonna be tough.

Benintendi has hit very, very well against MN pitching.

[ashbury]

With that day's growth of facial hair, Taylor Rogers looks like he might be able to order an adult beverage any time he chooses to.

[bighat]

Perez.

Yikes. Anyone else feel like the guy pretty much has to hit an HR here? I mean, this is the 2021 Twins we're talking about.

Honestly I'd walk him here.

[bighat]

OK so they did walk him, makes sense to me.

Interesting the Royals aren't having Soler coming up to PH

Okay, man, we’ll blame you if it doesn’t work out.

[lecroy24fan]

Salvy is the only player in their lineup I would have walked in that situation. And I would have done it 10 out of 10 times.

[ashbury]

It's what's for dinner.

 

[h2oface]

TAYLOR ROGERS SHINES! TWINS WIN!

[RickOShea]

Thank you guys.  Without you guys, this would not be possible.

[bighat]

Robles going to have numbers good enough for some trade scraps?
