[stringer bell]

Eleven (11) is a prime number.

[mrtwinsfan]

Dylan Duffey or tyler Bundy ,  all the same

[Mortimerkenny21]

There's our 11 prime #

Both catchers with HR

How do all the people who declared this game a loss before it started because they didn't like the lineup feel now?

Twins are playing really well tonight. Terrific hitting, quality defense, and Bundy has pitched pretty well and gotten a little lucky. I will take it. (especially if we can win the rubber match tomorrow!)

Sheepish?

Hey I said Bundy would would give up fewer runs then innings pitched.  Never imagined this though.

[Aggies7]

Bundy of all people, might get the only Cg of the year

[stringer bell]

Bundy out for the eighth!

[stringer bell]

Third pitcher to exceed 100 pitches for the Twins this season.

[stringer bell]

91 on his last pitch, I haven't seen any higher,.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Imagine a game not having to trudge out all the relievers 

[VivaBomboRivera!]

By the powers invested in me by the state of Twins Fandom, I now pronounce Dylan Bundy officially rehabilitated.

[jmlease1]

perfect night to let a pitcher go 8. Bundy did a nice job. (I wouldn't expect him to finish it after throwing 106 pitches.) But nice to see a starter go deep. Bullpen will be well-rested for the afternoon game. I dunno if this kind of performance is repeatable or not (he did have some hard-hit balls that happened to be right at people), but he did make a lot of very good pitches. And for all that he got lucky on some balls being hit right at guys, he also got unlucky in a few seeing-eye singles.

Don’t know. They didn’t hang around.

Only 11 in the majors … I think that’s what they said. Was half listening

[wabene]

Yes I think Bundy could be a useful 5th guy, but this is the D Backs. 

[Squirrel]

Man, I really want the Twins to give Correa a long contract. Sigh.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Winnah.

No Buxton again, super. Bundy on the mound against the worst hitting team in baseball. Arizona wins.

So glad this didn’t age well. Glad it just really stunk.

Scoreboard watching already: Cleveland losing to LA 6-1 in the 6th.

Twins have Jeffers, Urshela (batting cleanup!?), Larnach, Gordon and Kirilloff in the lineup - plus NO Buxton and they have Bundy on the mound. Can't imagine this will go well.

Glad this didn’t age well, either ?

[stringer bell]

Nice tidy 11-1 win. In less than three hours.

No idea what to expect in this game other than pain. 

Were you in pain? I imagine in a good way, considering tonight’s outcome.

I guess the Mods aren't sleeping on the job, huzzah!

Thanks for the company!

Heh, was at work tonight. Joined in a bit ago

[stringer bell]

The Twins will be in first place when they return to Minnesota. Two game lead with one more to play. A three game lead would be much better, of course.

[wabene]

I'm still in the 8th inning!
