Is that Nick Gordon playing left field for the Blue Jays? I hadn't realized we traded him.

HuH !!!

[Danchat]

Good gravy, they're taking Berrios out to the woodshed! Gordon has flashed some legit power, something that seemed like he was never going to develop!

[CRF]

Miranda and Gordo! Nice!

[Parfigliano]

A HR with guys on base.  Bold.

[Aggies7]

I feel a tiny bit bad for Jose. So much potential.

A novel concept.

 

Not used to it....

Feel bad for him tomorrow, please!

Yeah, poor Jose.  Do you think they'll dock him a $million or more for tonight's performance?

Aside from a few growing pains - which should be expected for a guy playing his first full year in the bigs - I've been really, really happy with how Gordon has played this year.

Forget it.

I miss Gibby...

Bottom of fourth. Lots of time left.  Blue Jays aren't sweating it, yet.

[Nine of twelve]

This is classic Berrios. Some of his pitches have nasty movement, so much so you wonder how anyone hits him. But he loses focus or something, I don't know, and he always seems to pitch down to the other team's ability. Next thing you know he's getting knocked around.

I was just joking. 

A comment about the Twins seeming aversion to 3rd time through. 

[Brazilian Twins Fan]

Who would say our outfield was going to be Gordon-Contreras-Cave after the All Star break?

Can you feel me?

I never had a problem with Jose, just that he couldn’t seem to live up to the lofty expectations.

He definitely looks like he belongs in the big leagues.

I will rest when they are up a TD and book the 2 point conversion

Hope it's not because they are dehydrated.

Somebody shook Rocco's shoulder and said, "Hey Skip, we just scored 5 runs", Baldelli " How many does Toronto have"?

[mrtwinsfan]

After berrios got 13 strikeouts in june against twins - career high, think he came here a bit cocky? and what 14 pitches first 2 innings,  Gotta say its nice to see the boys respond Back !!

He's finally healthy ... he's had a couple of bad years healthwise ... good to see him respond

What is that lime green thing that Berrios has in his mouth? It can't be a mouth guard...at least not one that I've ever seen before. I thought it was a leaf the first time they showed it.
