The most boring starters seem to always make the best relieves. Let’s do it to Sands next.

That’s what I said the other night … the Jax treatment

Are the Yankees sure he’s wearing his glove on the correct hand?

Wrong type of glove. The only glove he should be wearing is a batting glove.

Miranda heating up at the plate probably closes the door on Sano even getting a platoon role at 1B.

Stanton just a miserable outfielder.

I like his outfield play

[mnfireman]

Hicks looked like Stanton there, but we'll take it

[wsnydes]

Larnach gets in on the action!

[Mill1634]

[Aggies7]

Archer threw 6 changeups (9%) against a lineup that featured 7 right handed hitters. Throughout the year, he's thrown it 11% of the time, and only twice to righties in 79 pitches. The game calling was completely in line with what we've seen for Archer this entire year. 

I must have missed those supposingly 6 change ups that he threw. The game calling could be in line in what they have been calling. IMO his change up could thrown more often especially in some SO situations even against righties, which IDK if they ever done that yet. As far as I'm concerned he should mainly throw his change up only in SO situations. Archer still does better with Jeffers catching than Sanchez.

Ok Rocco

[Longdistancetwins]

John Sterling now called 6-1 a “substantial” lead.  Maybe….

Stanton will not be a candidate to win a gold glove this year

Maybe he can get one for his glove work at DH like Palmeiro did that one year.

I’ve seen this movie before. I won’t count on chicken dinner until the 27th out in the top of the ninth.

I’m okay if we have seen the last appearance of Sano in a Twins uniform. I’d rather see Miranda and sooner than later Kirilloff at 1B. 

[wsnydes]

Ummm....not a strike

[mnfireman]

Really?? Umps are gonna try...

[LVTwinsfan]

Terrible strike 3 call

[Aggies7]

More cushion for the pushin’. Let’s have a quick 7th

I didn't see much of him when he was with the Marlins, so I can't say.

Absolutely … any jinxer’s out there … do I need to repeat the Squirrel and LVTwinsfan methods?

[notoriousgod71]

Watching the fs1 broadcast and Chris Myers game break. "Bellinger with a home run. Will Smith also slaps a home run."

[Mill1634]

I don't want to get greedy (ok...I do...) but I wouldn't hate adding on another run or two and saving Duran another day.

Great first inning from Archer. I am cautiously optimistic about him against this lineup. He has a good slider against a RHH heavy lineup. There is a world out there where he has 5 successful innings tonight.

Looks like you should have been the one betting. 

[blindeke]

See this is why you save your bullpen for when you have a lead. Just yesterday (this morning), everyone was ripping Rocco for not using Duran down a run.

I have an old Titlelist glove that might fit him

I have seen this movie and its eight sequels.  

[LVTwinsfan]

Hicks didn’t like the inside pitch, I’d  throw him another

[Aggies7]

Isnt Jax a quasi-long man? He gets through the 7th relatively quickly, I’m bringing him back out
