He’s made a lot of nice plays in his short time with the Twins this year. Keep him out of center field and he’s an asset on defense. 

If he could just stop trying to be a power hitter and slap it around, occasional bunt attempt   

[mrtwinsfan]

Kepler and polanco  its unreal,  Neither can D.H.??  larnach also, he is playing again, ,     We need a Touchdown and i might feel better with Ober

[Dave The Dastardly]

Just tuned in. Rocco pull Ober yet?

Still wearing his uniform top, but maybe he'll put on a sweater if it gets colder.

Double doubles by Miranda, but it's hard for the same hitter to make them back to back.

Ober still in the game. Miranda not afraid of any stinking RBIs

[CRF]

I'd sure take 5 or 6 innings like this from Ober. This looks like another game where it could be a struggle for us to get runs.

Prediction, Cave and Contreras both homer and Miranda steals second base.

ODD, Sanchez who often hits home runs 470 plus feet, has become the hitter of singles.

One Down.

[mrtwinsfan]

The Twins haven’t had a a good run all season, but September is definitely the best time to have one

[Nine of twelve]

So, what if Rocco faces the same situation with Ober at the end of 7 innings as he did with Ryan at the end of 7 innings on Tuesday? Ober is probably getting sent back down after this game no matter what. We need to use our bullpen very judiciously during this series, and if we can minimize usage tonight that is very much to our advantage. Hmmm......

Guess you didn't enjoy that 27-14 run from April 10 to May 24.  That's only a 107 win pace.

There goes the no no

I thought I was skirting the jinx laws, but maybe not. All I have to say is:
