Brent Rooker with a 4 hit night so far! It must be Friday the 13th!

Raised his average about 40 points!

Will we see Chargois in the 9th for a coup de grâce?

[Game7-91]

If Twins played in AL East we'd be competing for #1 draft pick.

Sano is lost. So lost. Just what is the point of playing him anymore? And it isn't just his physical play. It is his baseball smarts. And I don't see that ever changing at this point.

Except for 50% of our RBI’s tonight.

Kaat - "The starting pitcher sets the tone for the game...."

As good as he is, that is a Captain Obvious statement. Running out of commentary by the end of this one it seems.

11 hits and 10 singles. We got scored 2 errors. Only 2. But there were a lot more than that.

True. So, Sano not lost? Keen? A real keeper? The cut off, the throw to third instead of home, and the lack of even making a play on the fly that dropped in? And the one he did that he just dropped? I still see a lost .213 hitter that strikes out 40% of the time, and makes mental error after mental mistake. 

My apologies. I will take tomorrow off. It seems I need it.

May your luck in choosing which game to miss be as good as mine was today.  Oops, guess I don't really mean that from the team's POV.

Donaldson choked again!     I think he is well past his prime!   Cut him loose after this season Is ended.

Teams don't do that.

I take it we didn't come back and win it in the 9th?

 

Oh well.
