Jays just put the bat on the ball.  Twins can't make contact.  Hard to swing when your gasping to breathe.

Because your hands are wrapped around your neck??

We need one……let’s get one

[jimbo92107]

Lopez is good, but not quite to the Aguilera / Nathan level. He might get there, given another season. He's got the stuff, but the perfect command is not quite there. Still looks better than Duran's command, tho. 

Also let's note that Blue Jays have a better hitting squad than the Twins do. If Kirilloff and Larnach and Lewis come back healthy next season, then I'd give the hitting edge to the Twins. 

[Aggies7]

True to form, the team hit for one inning and packed it in.

Should they be flip flopped?

GIDP and strike out (or vice versa).  I can see it already.

Yeah.  This one inning offense is no longer cutting it.
