Radio just said it's his sixth outing, so probably more.  I can't confirm that though.

Sorry 11 pitches in his last 3 games,  he went 19 and 20 in his first two.

I’m definitely surprised by this but Correa looks awful 

probably didn't want to be here in the first place. would you, coming from a perpetual contender and world champ***? complete and total conjecture on my part, but I would guess that's a part of his bad start.

He chose Minnesota. 

[wsnydes]

sigh

Sloppy defense...

[Aggies7]

oh my ulcer when that left the bat

[ashbury]

Ha, was just thinking, do we get two clean innings in a row?   Um, nnnnnnnope.

As a Wisconsonite, are you saying that he's way behind or a bit early?  Or even right on time?

It is Mike’s prerogative on when he chooses to drink, but it is objectively not night.

[RickOShea]

113 people at today's game in Oakland.  Of which, 17 are paid attendees.

Yup, their fielding is the same but I am sure glad we got Correa instead of Simmons.?

[MMMordabito]

So after single, groundout, K, K .... Who pitches the 9th and blows it?

[nicksaviking]

 The Under on Twins games total scores has to be easy money maker at the moment doesn't it? How many times have they hit the over? 3, 4 games?

This one time I called the Minnesota Vikings and told them I worked for the Dallas Cowboys. I got them to trade a bunch of draft picks for Herschel Walker. I think the Dallas Cowboys went under the next season

I'm gonna want to see some proof.... that such a preposterous trade ever really happened.

Already put my money on Pagan, upthread.

[RpR]

As Smalley said, sure is good they are not hitting those home runs people were complaining about.

[Aggies7]

Bud Grant was so mad he knocked over a statue of Leif Erikson

[dex8425]

Insurance run would be really nice...

I imagine that he did it on a -6 degree day in his short sleeved shirt too!

[RickOShea]

Jesus, "Driven to right", Bremer made it sound like it was going to land in the parking lot.

[PDX Twin]

Of the two likely outcomes there, the K is preferred to the DP.

[Muppet]

Sure is nice to see a Sano strikeout, given the alternative option. 

[HokieRif]

Please send Sano down to St Paul... maybe as far as Cedar Rapids...

[ashbury]

C'mon Larnach.  Let's see some "ball in play, no outs, run(s) score" kind of action right about now.

[RpR]

Larnach is back to normal

[wsnydes]

?

[Aggies7]

one lousy run. and four for the series against the ROYALS. bums

[chaderic20]

That's too close to take

[Azviking101]

Good news that Duffey never warmed up. Maybe Rocco is learning after all. Thought Pagan doesn’t necessarily excite me. Would have thought that a 7th inning for Ryan and Duran and Smith to close it out is a better option. We will see 

[Aggies7]

too bad this isn't NCAA women's softball rules and duran could re-enter
