[USAFChief]

I don't like to complain about ball and strike umping, but THIS GUY BLOWS!

[AceWrigley]

ESPN feed: Altuve singled to right, Altuve out stretching at second.

Have they made stretching at 2B against the rules? ?

No, not per se.  But Pilates calls for a 3-game suspension.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Awesome play by Kep - wow 

also Lopez seems lucky to me, good thing for the Twins that probabilities reset to zero after every batter ball cuz this guy gets rocked

I would enjoy seeing the mound stylings of Tim Beckham if the game becomes a blowout.

Maybe the south paw J. Cave

There's no Pilates in Baseball!

Fair suggestion.  I would enjoy seeing either man suffer, let's put it that way.

You can only put Cave on the mound . . . if you've completely given up.

p.s. This one is for Chief.

[RpR]

I wonder if Arraez batting average will drop continually with the Twins record?

[AlwaysinModeration]

Seems to me Rocco is trying to shake it up a bit. I don’t totally mind it.  But I’d like the offense to respond by putting up a fight.

Well Rocco did say that "Zero Cares"  is the new strategy going forward

[Vanimal46]

C 0-4. I think he’ll be the first to board the plane to get the hell out of town. 

[AlwaysinModeration]

Also, Bremer noted the Twins have a bench of Leon, Cave and Hamilton tonight, so there is that.

I was going to say that you misspelled ****s, but I hadn't seen the actual quote and you had it right.

Yeah, about that. I wonder if this is what he was talking about.

 "We have 40 games left on our schedule. Let's play the best possible baseball that we can [and] have zero cares about anything except playing the game."

Bring up Billy, so we can lead the league in Hamiltons.  Too bad we traded Ian.  The Twins need to be young, scrappy, and hungry, and not throw away their shot.
 

[AussieG]

All jokes  aside, we are only down by 2.

I could use a few Hamiltons.

[AussieG]

How many curveballs in Megill going to hang tonight?

Gotcha covered 

[RickOShea]

Yes, but it only feels like 200.

[AceWrigley]

Wow, if the Twins somehow take the lead, who is gonna close in the 9th?

[RickOShea]

Came out of the den last night, after the Twins loss, and my wife quipped.  "house arrest over for today, hon"?  ...........Her body is under the back porch.

[ashbury]

Four relievers so far.  1 clean inning.
