4 errors on the Yankees, and I don't think a single run resulted from them.

The one good game Buxton had does not paper over his struggles.

I have never called for robot umps and never will. But strike 1 was a ball. Similar to what he k’d on. Been two different strike zones tonight

Morneau even calling out the umps. Look out..... it really bothers some.............

Welcome to New York. Concrete jungle where strikes are made up…

Duffman does much better when used before the 8th inning, it seems 

[tony&rodney]

When Buck is going good he can take that meatball pitch  (outside middle of plate)  with authority to right field. Tonight he has been trying to jack everything down the left field line and playing right into the pitcher's game. Byron needs to get it back together or if he is is still hurting he must go on the IL. Right now he is a hole in the lineup.

Great catch by Larnach, but why the hell is he starting on the warning track against a guy with 13 career homers?

Ohh very creative whine

[Aggies7]

Maybe spoke too soon. Outs 1 and 2 haven’t been an issue tonight

Yep, I said that early on … never the 9th for him. Although, sheesh, a 5-run lead shouldn’t be insurmountable for him in any inning

[Aggies7]

Sigh

[Aggies7]

Same exact thing happened with minaya and cano. Nibble mode after two outs

[stringer bell]

So many pitches. Guys with marginal talent have to be so fine.

Ftfy

[Mill1634]

If we're going to lose this game I would prefer for Duffey to give up a HR here so he never pitches for the Twins again. Of course, I would prefer he not and we win this game. 

[Aggies7]

Unreal

[cHawk]

Game right there

I don't mind nibbling to Judge.  The Yankees take so much pitches, it's rare for them to chase.  I also don't think a close pitch has been called FOR a Twins pitcher yet.

[Winston Smith]

Shocking that Duffy scuffled. Who could see that coming?

[USAFChief]

Inevitable.

Uh, thanks?

[LVTwinsfan]

Why is Duffey still a Twin

[stringer bell]

Hate to call this a bright spot, but maybe this is the end in a Twins uni for Tyler Duffey.

[AstrosTwins]

Can Duffy please pitch ANYWHERE but here. I mean, how much more do we have to watch??

[Aggies7]

Want to know how a team loses 115 out of 162 games to the same opponent, rewatch this game. Opportunities missed and opportunities not missed

[tony&rodney]

Tough for Falvey to ignore Duffey's incompetence. For those who say who else, the answer is anyone.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

What i miss?

[operation mindcrime]

Way to serve it up Duffey!!!!!

[Winston Smith]

Serious question, why was Duffy in this game?

[USAFChief]

Only 20 more innings to negotiate. 

[Miggy's Little Helper]

Rocco special.
