I don't watch much baseball these days....but Ober looks to have decent movement on his pitches. Looks like a legit #4/5 type, hopefully. 

[MMMordabito]

I suppose Ober is probably done.  Looks good either way.

I'm ok with that....they need to see the RPs too. I'm also ok if he comes back out.

Must have some deception as well. He throws strikes as well.

When you're 6"8 and throw 94-95, it looks like 98 to the hitter. Like Glasnow or Randy Johnson. 

[wsnydes]

All I want is a hit with RISP...

[Linus]

That ball could have been fielded as well. Not a gimme but one that gets made plenty in the bigs.

Polanco!  Still en fuego!

your feed is about 30 seconds to a minute ahead of YouTube.....sigh.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Polanco breaks up the scoreless game.

 

I approve.

[wavedog]

Polanco delivers!   And yes, if Rooker doesn't figure out how to make contact soon his opportunity will be gone.

I'm guessing he's up until the season is over.....not sure who would replace him on the roster at this point. I'll be shocked if he's a Twin next year.

Ha!  Sorry!  I'll shut up!

That's interesting though.  I'm streaming the radio feed myself.  Though, it may help that I'm in Mpls and not Oregon.

[James]

Ok.  Now my Youtube feed is up to date.  

DINGER!

[wsnydes]

My apologies for the spoilers!

one at bat (one swing) in that inning was good. all the rest were total dog poop

[Mike Sixel]

Cave's beard>>>>Cave's play. 

Like Rooker, I'll be somewhat surprised if he's on the roster next year. Though at least he can play some D, so it's possible.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Good to know i too am behind the times.

so much dead weight currently on this roster, it's hard to believe we win any games, let alone playing .500 ball

Sano was ok....he got a walk. Not sure how that's dog poop....

[Linus]

I’m afraid that Jake Cave is bad for my mental health. Can we just move on from the guy.

Walks are good.  They don't always add up to a run, but it's not an out!

true

[stringer bell]

I don’t really want to rag on Rooker, but that is not a ball that should advance a runner. 

[wavedog]

Looking at the stats for the current lineup it is depressing when compared to league averages.

liking manaya

[wavedog]

Minaya comes in and shuts it down - refreshing to see that.

Is that Latroy on the Youtube broadcast team?

It is!  I do enjoy when he is on the broadcast team.
