Dusty might lose it if the ump calls another couple of high strikes!

Lopez get 6-8 in the 7th, who gets the eighth, assuming Duran in the ninth?

Alcala?   They're not just going to repeat the same three who pitched yesterday, are they?

All the infielders ??   have they had any action today ?

[USAFChief]

That last pitch from Lopez was perfect.

Can't really blame him if he does.  That last call was awful.

Serious homemade bread happening at our house. The likelihood of the three us finishing off a loaf by the end of this game is pretty high. It's genetic -- Mrs. IT's grandmother was a legendary cook in the community, particularly known for her cinnamon rolls.

To be fair he’s been told not to run fast…or slide hard…or play defense.

He’s been told that?

At which gate at Target Field are they going to install the Kyle Farmer statue?

Let's see if he can drive in a run late, to increase this one run lead. If he does, I vote we put it at the Farmer's Insurance (Run) Gate.

I'll see myself out.

Probably not that way. But yes.

Miranda's hitting the ball hard but not getting rewarded at all. I hope he sticks with this approach because the results are going to come soon.

Concur. Way better.

I hope this team, cuts back on the homerun derby swings.

I don’t hope that. I just hope for better connection on those homerun swings

[RickOShea]

Lopez, out?  He goes through the Astros like a knife through butter, and then is out?  The more changes, the more chances, someone is not going to have it.  Regardless of how Jax pitches, I don't agree.

Maybe he told them.  Hard to untangle.

It's so nice to have good pitching. I'm 23 and I don't think I've ever felt this good about a Twins pitching staff.
