Arraez taking BABIP lessons from Kepler.

“Hey this guy’s pitching pretty well, let’s get him some runs”

I do not know what Minn. Twins rehab amounts to but it seems to destroy successful players.

Ryan's blood seems about as cold as a dead man's.

Ryan is definitely doing That Thing and this is a fun game to watch.  

& the other guy almost is doing the same.

It increases the funness of the game.

And it is important that both teams have fun.

I agree, love a good pitchers duel.

So anyone remember that early game this season that Berrios wasn't half bad in?

They took him out, if i recall....

So do inside fastballs that injure your wrist

I'd say it's incredibly unlikely Ryan finishes this game.

Er, i mean to ask, what happens in this game? I hope the fact it is September means it is handled differently.

Baldelli is in the maternity ward right where he belongs.

It wasn’t a perfect game though, I think Ryan goes until somebody hits him

It would be for someone who has been pitching on the ML team all year ...

Also please stop hitting ground balls to Arraez k thanks 

[Nine of twelve]

Just tuned in. Haven't read through the thread. Anything noteworthy going on?

Byron Buxton is still dealing with some hand soreness that’s limiting how hard he plays.

 

Byron Buxton’s left hand is still a little sore, but he’ll happily manage that soreness if it means he can finally put on a Twins uniform again.
…
Buxton is excited, but not overly zealous to the point where he’ll immediately be going all-out. He understands that his recovery from the broken hand likely means that he’ll be dealing with that residual soreness all year, and he knows that some things, like aggressive swings and misses and getting hit again, could aggravate his condition.

I like to think it possible, though.

Not to raise any expectations.

LOL that was my thought, something like 3-0 since Baldelli departed 

[downunder twins fan]

Sano!

[MMMordabito]

There's a welcome cushion.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sano'ed.

I know a 300-foot Pesky pole home run counts the same as a monster blast like that one, but there's something about a monster blast that is just so wonderful.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Haven’t pulled that thing out since maybe April

I’d say the odds are exactly the same as him pitching a perfect game 

[Linus]

 Could hear that homer thru the radio.

Nah, same ol' same ol'.

[LVTwinsfan]

Bremer jinxes more games than anyone I’ve ever seen, then he always says he had nothing to do with it. He doesn’t get it
