Of course. We ground into a double play. That is what this offense does best.

You jest, but it’s already possible now to ground into leadoff double plays … (extra innings) :) 

The Evil Empire hit into 2 lead off DP's against Seattle last night, but managed to win.....

I wonder if the Twins will be in the market for a DH over the offseason... feels like we've had too many games with the likes of Sanchez/Beckham/etc taking PAs. It is nice for giving Buxton days off but getting a bat somewhat like Cruz's would be nice.

Trea Turner has 80 RBI.

Eighty.

Eight oh.

 

Oh yeah?  Well, we snagged Nick Gordon just ahead of him in the draft, and he's got... um... (checking)... a whole bunch too!

They need about 3 bats. Minimum. 4 if Correa opts out.

Maybe one of Kirilloff/Larnach fills one of those holes adequately.

Wow, the offense hands Sonny Gray a lead and he turns in two quick innings.  As opposed to handing the lead right back.  Kudos, sir!

I get a lot of guys are hurt, but there has to be another option besides Beckham. 

A 3 leg dog would be better

Gray has really settled in. This might be a game where you let him go 7 innings, except that you also want to give Duran and Lopez a little work so they’re not too cold going into Anaheim Friday.

I felt iffy about noting a mere two innings of competence.  More than that seems like courting the wrath of the baseball gods.

On the ropes he’s been skating all game. Top here have to get 2 more. This guy is our Bundy/Archer 

Getting 4 runs plus an inherited runner in 4.1 innings is pretty good, I'd say, even if we don't put another 2 up.

Former twins AAA affiliate, the rochester red wings, lost their 19th straight game tonight 

Not their fault, but they went from being at the top of a so-so system like the Twins to a Total System Failure with the Nats.
