Not a huge fan of Alcala and Duran back to back. One is the dollar store version of the other.

Yeh, other teams don't pair up hard throwers back to back, if you're just talking velocity.

Where are you, Alanis Morissette?

[USAFChief]

"In play, runs" please.

Are you familiar with the term "jinx"?

"Please" is the time-tested antidote to a jinx. Or so I've heard.

[stringer bell]

Need to score now! Buxton, Correa, Polanco. 

[operation mindcrime]

I'm glad Maria Sharapova's day is done! Hopefully we can get to their bullpen!!!!!!

[LVTwinsfan]

I didn’t know they were playing with the stupid extra inning rule, I thought they were going to play real baseball

At least the Twins have a real shortstop

[Squirrel]

Correa ... nice play ... no one we had last year would've made that play ...

I'd have to go back and read why ... but it sounded like the players wanted it ... and I agree, I think it's stupid, too

[LVTwinsfan]

Nice play Urshella

[Nine of twelve]

Best possible leadoff hitter when down 1 in bottom 9.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Go Twins!

[Mill1634]

Classic Arraez at bat. MUST be in the lineup regardless of who the other pitcher is.

Rather see Arraez dh, than the back up catcher

[Cap'n Piranha]

Come on now Bocaton--get a hold of one.

Concur--Arraez needs to DH 3x, 2B 1x, and 3B 1x, at a bare minimum.

[USAFChief]

Man, Sano had two pitches to hit.

[Cap'n Piranha]

As I think about it, I actually think Rocco should have left Urshela in.  Clearly, Urshela would have gotten on for Sanchez to hit a game winning HR, mirroring what happened in the Bronx.

Incorrect, there were 4 pitches in Sano's plate appearance.

[USAFChief]

Uffda, Kirilloff. Pretty weak AB.

[LVTwinsfan]

I think the pages on these threads are too short

[LVTwinsfan]

Ends with a Bremergasm, how typical

[Vanimal46]

Sanchez just about had a walk off HR there. 

[Nine of twelve]

Damn! That is easily over the wall on an 80 degree evening.

[USAFChief]

HELLO!

 

 

...

 

 

caught at the wall.

They are longer than they used to be

[Dave Overlund]

Did he just Little Big League us?!

[shortround81]

I don't even like baseball
