FIVE scoreless innings!

Can we get some rain now and get the win in the books? ?

I'm pretty sure the last offer was a 7/$80M base, which is a little over $11M a year.  I don't think a $7M base gets it done, nor should it.

I'd offer a $15m base with incentives that can send the contract to $35m in a season.

Basically, start at good MLB starter money and escalate to Mike Trout money.

As the announcer said, this is when the Twins pitching usually fall apart and the way Baldelli uses the BP , I have my fears.

This has essentially been a bullpen game, so I'm not sure the same logic holds.  

[Winston Smith]

Good thing Simmons is in the lineup so they can better decide if they want to bring him back next year.

By the way, loving Morneau taking so much time to explain WAR to viewers.

There are a lot of people who don’t understand WAR

Oh, I wasn't being sarcastic. I legitimately like it when announcers introduce the concept of advanced metrics to television audiences.

4 pitch walk, I think it does.

[RpR]

kepler saves the day

[LVTwinsfan]

Good play by Kepler

[LVTwinsfan]

Bear claw, he should open a donut shop

[TouchEmAllGuy]

Nice play by Kep there!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Rocco: makes a call to the pen

Barraclough: begins running onto field

Me: NOT AGAIN HOW IS THIS DUDE STILL ON THE ****ING TEAM

One run is hardly unraveling, especially at Yankee Stadium.

[Brock Beauchamp]

The Twins cannot sit on five runs in Yankee Stadium. They need to put this team away for once.

LOL we are playing the Yankes and in recent history one of their runs is worth 3 of the Twins.

I’m actually surprised Justin understands it, maybe he wants to be a GM

[RpR]

The announcer has the same heebie-jeebies about the Twins in Yankee stadiums as I do.

[RpR]

Time for Twins batters to wake up.

Near all season when the start hot they flounder late in the game.

Morneau - "He went out there and turned on this bitch!"

Can I get a witness! You don't hear that in the booth much. I don't think I have ever heard it.

[LVTwinsfan]

Voits hanging over the plate. High and tight is the right pitch, both times, he backed up and then grounded to short

5-2?

 

Sigh...

More insurance run(s), por favor?

I went back and listened to it again. Definitely sounds like he snuck that one in there

[Brock Beauchamp]

Sano's new approach saps some of his power but I'll take the additional singles and decent contact all day.

He can miss hit it over the fence anyway

[RpR]

Time for Ref. to wake up.

He is greatly reducing his chance of being back next  year.

Oh yeah, he still has giant power but it's less all-or-nothing.

[RpR]

Time for a double play.
