Plus one today.

And both have made outs today. Not to change the subject (player) but Bryce Harper is 1-16 with 0 RBI with 2 out and RISP (Donaldson is now 0-17, but has an RBI), still would keep sending him up there.

Hate Donaldson all you want, or think he isn't earning his paycheck, his OPS+ coming into tonight was 124, 4th best in the AL.

Umm 1 for 4 with 2 RBI’s is a good night

he's not the problem..it's the crap pitching staff

[LVTwinsfan]

Look at Kepler bailing out Robles

[Vanimal46]

Winnah!

Whew! Berrios says thanks for the runs tonight.

[LVTwinsfan]

Wow, is anybody happy with the win?

I'll have to think about it.  The only way this team is going to win is if they score 7-8 runs a night.  The issues that haunt this team appeared again tonight.  The only difference is the offense has been better recently.   At this point I could care less about wins, but I do care about Kiriloff, Larrnach, Jeffers and Gordon.

Yes, I am as a matter of fact. Jax got a win, Young guys Gordon, Arraez and Kirilloff had big hits. 

[h2oface]

Happy happy. More not pissed than happy. I think we are still in the central cellar. That does not make me happy.

Yeah, it was a fun game

Obviously my constructive criticism motivated Kepler to find a way to contribute. So I'm happy.

The last bit is unlikely to change the rest of the year. You do have choices… Time is our most valuable asset. If the team’s overall record affects your mood, there are other things to do and watch.

I was out and luckily caught the game from the 8th inning on. From my perspective it was a nail biting finish!

Me, too, came in late.  Was paying attention to hockey.  Islanders lost to Lightning.  ?
