Nice 1st game back from Garlick so far. Not a moment to soon

Opie, is that you?

Sheez, I tune in and its 8-zip Twins in the fifth, against a lefty. Stranger things. Wait, is this the upside down?

[AceWrigley]

I knew Garlick leading off would be the key . . . cough cough.

[AceWrigley]

I can tell by the depth of this thread that the Houston series has left everyone enthused.

[AussieG]

Good to see Rocco not immediately putting Kepler in and giving Garlick and Celestino some more AB's after SF went to the pen

[AceWrigley]

Holy Moly, Taylor Rodgers . . .throwing right handed . . . this IS the upside down.

[LVTwinsfan]

This guy looks familiar

He definitely pitches upside down

Rocco’s got it into his starters heads that they are going to suck third time through.

You can only hope to contain him.

[AceWrigley]

Ohhh the wildness.

I hope they can snap out of it

Sometimes they do

Ryan  has thrown 100 pitches, did hell freeze over?

[AussieG]

Ryan should start mixing in the changeup to RH batters, just my opinion 

[Danchat]

I had a feeling Rocco would let Ryan go over 100 pitches - he seems to be fine with it when the game is out of hand in either direction. But when the game is close he gets pull-happy.

If that's the case, this is the fifth time hell has frozen over this year (5th time Ryan has gone over 100).

Lol, yeah and it almost never works

[AceWrigley]

Yes, slip slider(n) away.

If Ryan is feeling ok, let him start the 7th? Up by 8 runs 120 pitches might do him some good

Joe Ryan

He's pitchin'

Noodles and curves

I ain't bitchin'

The Gints are swinging

The K's are dinging

and me

I'm all out of pop tarts.

Pagan could get the save if he finishes the game and the Twins win
