Game Thread: Twins @ Guardians, noon:10 cdt, 0th July 2022ad

[Aggies7]

Finally someone pitched to Shaw like the career sub .250 hitter that he is and not ted bleeping Williams 

[LVTwinsfan]

I know Duffey can do it

[Winston Smith]

Duffy is money! Never a doubt.

[Vanimal46]

Never a doubt when the Duff man enters a game! 

[ashbury]

Now, see?  That wasn't so bad.

[BH67]

The aroma of this matchup is all too familiar -- the Twins have a small lead in the late innings against a contending team whose starter was statistically better going into the game.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG ??

[MMMordabito]

Sounds like The Doof has been taking some coaching to refine his repertoire.

Too bad Wes is leaving and can't help out Pagan as well.

Game day says it was an earned run. Why would it be unearned?

It was an earned run 4 consecutive walks with 2 outs. 

[UpstateNewYorker]

Not sure how we cover the final nine outs. 

[Vanimal46]

Kudos to Duffey for fixing whatever was wrong with him at the beginning of the year. He looks, dare I say, reliable again.

Going to need more to trust him, but he does look improved.

Continue with Duffey.  Then Thornburg.  Then... um, Jax on short rest?

[LVTwinsfan]

Archer should probably be a long reliever. Twins could use one those anyway. He would be good

I always thought "G" was a good note. At least I could find it easily. Lost a lot of other notes.

I've got love notes from my wife when we first met, those are some pretty good notes as well.

[ashbury]

Cmon Luis!  Show some of that newfound muscle, with the runner on first.

Perkins comes down from the booth and takes care of business... He's well rested!

Score a whole bunch of runs, so it doesn't matter.  Then, Thornburg.

[Vanimal46]

Woo hoo! Way to go Duffey! 

[LVTwinsfan]

 

[wavedog]

Duffey is on fire today - leave him in for the 8th?  

[Aggies7]

Duffman will never die

[Craig Arko]

Twins have acquired a reliever for little cost in prospect capital. 

[snotboogie]

Who is this pitcher and what has he done with Tyler Duffey?

[KirbyDome89]

Watching Cleveland flail away it's hard to believe the Twins are going to end up with a split of the last 8 games. All that angst about the division slipping away seems overblown.

New and improved Duffey rocking a change up!

[jorgenswest]

Glad they didn’t release Duffey,

[jorgenswest]

I wouldn’t try to get a third inning out of him though. They will have to trust Thornburg

[Jerr]

Please be good, pahleeze!

Cleveland has 6 outs left. The game isn't over yet.
