when you watch it on youtube and they don't play the commercials (and aren't going to the restroom/concessions in breaks at the park) it really highlights how slow the game gets with commercial breaks.

I've noticed that too watching other games on MLB.tv.  It's really obvious too.

[wsnydes]

Efficient outing thus far for Smith.

[Craig Arko]

Assuming Smith is back out for the 8th, who gets the 9th; Pagan or Duran?

[Puckett34]

Trying to wake up the Twins bats like

Sure do! 

Quasi-related: I once made a comment along the lines of, "Hardees is like the Jordache jeans of fast food. Used to be big back in the '80s and now you're surprised when you still see one."

Is Carl's Jr. related to Hardees?

 

They both got that there star. Reminded me of the North Stars...

[Aggies7]

The only question I have is will the pitching regress before the hitting progresses

[Mill1634]

Buxton is so lost right now

Probably need to be a little more aggressive!

Yep, Carl's Jr is West Coast and Hardees is everywhere else

Speaking of things that have gone by the wayside . . .

I've also been enjoying the random crowd shots between innings, as well as being able to hear the home plate ump.

Maybe they need to schedule more rest time for him.

Sorry, sorry! I had raise the hackles on that one! I know this has been a sore subject

[Mill1634]

Why not let Smith take the 8th inning? Twins deserve to lose this game.

Maybe that's the problem, Buxton's subject is sore.

[Aggies7]

We finally got pagan’d. at least it’s the 8th and not 9th

[ashbury]

Home run?   Pagan just sets things up for a walkoff in the ninth.  No worries - the guy is money!

We’ve deserved to lose the past 4 games, to be honest

I don't see them using Duran in what would be back-to-back, three out of the last four, and four out of the last six.

Reminiscent of the Oakland series at TF. It is not wise to let teams hang around, but the Twins have been very good so far at winning late.

Harold Castro is seeing the ball well today.

I think he gets a steak dinner for that one

Marge Schott? Or baseball purgatory?

 

Blenders can be frightening.

If he gets up again, maybe he gets a closer view?
