OK, Liam, there's your cushion - ball's in your court now.

[JeffReboulet]

Impressive, Esccobar. He'll likely start again tomorrow?

[ashbury]

Well, with two outs he was already around 2nd by the time the ball landed.

 

Durrr. Thanks. I guess I had wiped the two K's out of my mind already.

[Tcrose3636]

Bottom of the order production...can't beat that with a stick. Nice start for Liam too.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Hendriks leaving pitches up in the zone again. Sigh.

[Gibby]

Liam really needs to work on getting that downward plane.

[Tcrose3636]

I spoke to soon.

[GCTF]

Yeesh.

[Ultima Ratio]

No help from the ump either. Come on Liam, work in and out and down.

[chavez]

It sucks that there is virtually no chance at a k here

[JeffReboulet]

Liam really needs to work on getting that downward plane.

 

Gotta love loading the bases within 10 minutes of getting a 3-run lead.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Oh, for crying out loud.

[IdahoPilgrim]

Shafted by the umps again.

[Halsey Hall]

So pull him if he fails here. Just can't hold a lead Liam.

[Ultima Ratio]

Are you ****ing kidding me!

[GCTF]

Um....Out

[$tryf4Life]

Oh boy. Plouffe better hit a lit of home runs this year.

[Fatt Crapps]

How can Phil Cuzzi make the correct call there, but call that foul ball in the playoffs?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Locked him up. Nice.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Hendriks showing some chutzpah out there.

[Gibby]

Wow

[chavez]

Wow. Nice job Liam!

[IdahoPilgrim]

Wow! How did we get out of that with only one run in? Last year it would have completely melted down.

[Ultima Ratio]

So by getting four outs that inning, the Os only get two outs in the next, right?

 

On another note, let's see if the zone is the same size while the Twins bat.

[JeffReboulet]

So impressive from Hendriks. And he had to get 4 outs, too. Very encouraging.

 

I felt like I was watching the Twins offense popping up and striking out with the bases loaded.

[$tryf4Life]

Nice. Very encouraging, maybe Liam is turning the page.

[Ultima Ratio]

I think that's the 4th time Willingham has gone down looking. Swing the bat man!

[Brock Beauchamp]

If Morneau is traded this season, I'm going to really miss that lanky swing and finish.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I think that's the 4th time Willingham has gone down looking. Swing the bat man!

 

He's had some pretty BS strike calls. He did the right thing by not flailing at least two of those pitches.

[gil4]

"J Mauer grounded out to second."

 

Seems like that's happening a lot again.
