That Cleveland fan shrieking needs to get a beer poured on her head.

What happened to the guy with the drum? Maybe he could whack her a couple of times with the sticks.

I think that’s why she’s screaming

Save some for tomorrow, gents.

If he's quiet, I don't think we should awaken him when things are going so well.

[wsnydes]

Worth noting that Gray is doing well to save the own for tomorrow.  Good veteran outing for him thus far.

[snotboogie]

Alex gets his double!!!

[mnfireman]

Kirilloff still hustlin'....

[Aggies7]

We deserved a laugher

80 games of Perk, 50 games of Justin, and 32 games of the other fill-ins would be ideal if I was making the choices. Glen is already working that many games as he works the pre/post game show a fair amount. Ideally Justin and Perk would split the games evenly, but he doesn't seem to want to work that many games which is fine. I think a 3 man booth of Justin, Perk, and Dick would be really good to listen to as well. 

 

Also, the Twins need to make Archer their color man the moment he retires. 

I don't think the exact split matters. All of our current analysts are better than Bert and Torii. I rate Hawkins lowest of the group, but I still think he does OK. If we could get Roy, Justin, Perk, and Kitty (in no particular order) to handle all the games that would be outstanding.

They are. They could have scored 15 by now if they really wanted to.

Split over two games, that's not enough savings!

Seriously, though, wiping them out in the opening game of the series, extending their losing streak to 5, can demoralize them for the next 4 games. I hope, anyway.

These boys are trying to earn a full time job, you do not get that by not pushing hard.

Running into outs by 5 feet, is inexcusable

I was half joking knowing how inconsistent the bats are, but I agree that sending a statement in game one is important.

 

I just hope they don't get shutout for the rest of the series.

Naylor going to singlehandedly take Sonny out of this game.

[snotboogie]

Beautiful

[Aggies7]

What a play, wow 

[Mill1634]

3-5-1 DP as expected

Finally get to check that one off the Twingo card!

[Vanimal46]

Total domination. Weird, I thought Cleveland was bound to take over the AL Central for good?

[Mill1634]

Just a fantastic outing from Gray when the Twins badly needed a long start with a double header looming, and the offense does that job that they can get through this game using the lowest man on the totem pole to clean up the last two innings (hopefully)

[MMMordabito]

Hopefully by the end of the season some of Urshela's smile can rub off on Kirilloff.

Is this game safe for Duffy time?

Yesterday was in much bigger stakes.

Gibaut is still in the majors? Yikes, Cleveland, you don't have anybody else better at AAA?

for tonight...I'm guessing he's the sacrificial lamb for Cleveland tonight and is DFA'd before the DH tomorrow.

I was there for Duffey's masterpiece yesterday.  Protected a 3 run lead.  Hoping 9 is safe.

I like that order.  Especially considering how today's game is going.  Less pressure on Winder to go out and do something special.  And if he does, all that much better.
