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

Honestly didn’t realize they did that good at the beginning of the season, Death by a thousand cuts got them where they are now. They need about a 12 game winning streak now .

[mrtwinsfan]

miranda needs some help boys

[Dave The Dastardly]

Miranda lines out to 2nd after hitting two doubles...

I think he can handle the twoths

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......

Why send Ober down? If he can give 5-6 good innings, he should stay in the rotation.

Not watching live - are the Guardians crowding the plate, or is Ober playing it close on the inside, with those two HBP?

There goes the no no

Just realized, there had already been a hit in the first inning, when Ober plunked Ramirez.

Who are the Guardians

[stringer bell]

Ramirez was hit by a back-foot slider, Maile by a tailing fastball. Both guys started swinging at the pitches on which they were hit.

I didn't see the 1st HBP, But the 2nd was just a missed FB inside, good movement

That's not a rhetorical question, is it?

(Couldn't be, there was no punctuation.)

[CRF]

A few more runs would be nice. I have a feeling we'll need them.

I've always wanted to hear a rhetorical answer.

[RpR]

Time for Gary to hit a dinger.

Or not.

[mrtwinsfan]

Fullmer warming up ??    ober needs to start it the 6th,

Probably when Chief answers Yes to a either/or question.

[PDX Twin]

With a brilliant bullpen, you don't need to push your starters. Then there's the Twins.

[AussieG]

Ober could of gone 1 more surely 

[mrtwinsfan]

Sorry Rocco  im Speechless  

[CRF]

Great start by Ober. Let's hope the pen can hold it.

[Dave The Dastardly]

Oh for the God's sake! Ober couldn't do the 6th? He's been in command thru 5!

 

Rocco, you make my heart bleed.

Risky taking him out after five.

[AussieG]

Great start from Ober, just what we needed

[mrtwinsfan]

Okay Rocco,  here we go again,

70 pitches. Has he done that many in rehab starts?
