Where's the Thielbar love?? C'mon guys!!

I've been looking for a neck for him. 

And that's why. Last two outings now.... unearned or inherited.... he lets in the run. Hope it is just one.

Me too

I always feel lucky when Thielbar doesn't get slamed. Can't forget April.

Definitely was the wrong choice tonight.

[Aggies7]

Did Dick just say “he put a little hair on that one”?

[launchingthrees]

Give Caleb some rest.

We're trailing in the 10th in what's never been more than a 1 run game and we haven't used Duran.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Thielbar’s ball/glove clap right before delivery is kinda fun, but seems like a lot of wasted movement. Anyway, it’s kind of his thing and doesn’t look like it affects his pitches.

I wouldn’t ask him to change it. That’s kind of when you get into trouble ruining guys.

CLE down 2-0

And he threw so few pitches last night. Strikeout guy. Ideal for the 10th 

[stringer bell]

It should make this game quite winnable if Jax can keep the inherited runners from scoring, but I don’t hold out a great deal of hope that they will score in the tenth.

Who wants it, that’s what it’ll come down to

ARRRGGHH

[Danchat]

I don't mind starting the 10th with Thielbar as he's been on fire lately, but I'd rather see Duran put in to stop the bleeding at 3-2 than Jax who has been questionable the past while.

[h2oface]

Jax always coming in the zone ahead in the count. 

These were not the guys to pitch here.

[USAFChief]

Say goodnight.

I better learn Duran wasn't available.

And it made my comment irrelevant when Jax gave up the inherited runner.

Except Jax didn't hold up his end of the deal.  And the inning still isn't over.

Plus he's like 50 years old I don't think he's changing.

[stringer bell]

Yea, I thought Duran should have pitched sometime in the tenth.

And I still don't have much hope we'll score even one here.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Now for some Twins clutch hitting!! They'll find Jimmy Hoffa before that happens!

[tony&rodney]

Twins bats are pretty weak lately. They need a boost.

[Parfigliano]

Need big dollar guys to produce

[h2oface]

Carlos Correa, SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!

[USAFChief]

Well that's a good start

[AussieG]

Walking Correa actually helps Texas... unless Buxton goes yard? 

[Twodogs]

Let's go Buck!!
