The time to score is NOW!!! Of course, to score, someone has to reach base successfully.

[Nine of twelve]

At least the game I'm not watching doesn't seem to have much worth watching in it anyway.

[USAFChief]

Gladden: ground ball to third, Morales backs up, fields, and throws him out. Nice play Miranda. 

[CRF]

It's a slug-fest in Cleve. One hit total for both teams. Ober and Battenfield are killing it.

[Aggies7]

this dude has 65 pitches lol

[stringer bell]

Miranda looks like he couldn't square it up if he was hitting off a tee.

[Aggies7]

Thank god, that would have been embarrassing

And I'll bet he mispronounced both names.

[LewFordLives]

A lot of the Twins hitters need to flatten their swings.

Made me think of Blyleven: he features all 65 pitches, fastball, sinker, curve, slider, sweeper, change, splitfinger ...

[stringer bell]

Vazquez with a clean single. 

[mrtwinsfan]

T.Y. Pitcher for hitting his bat for our 1st hit

[h2oface]

There goes the perfect game and n0-hitter!

[Aggies7]

The floodgates have opened! 😂

[stringer bell]

Max Kepler, ladies and gentlemen!

You forgot splinker 

[Nine of twelve]

Heyhey! That's all we need. Now keep them off the board.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Kep!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Time to end that playoff losing streak!

[Winston Smith]

Not much chance the Twins hitters will break any bats kind of need to hit the ball for that to happen. So that's a positive.

And the shutout.

[h2oface]

....... aaaaannnnnnnddddd shutout!

[mrtwinsfan]

Max likes hitting in that Park

[stringer bell]

Correa crushed the ball as well. I was surprised Straw was playing him so far into right-center.

[stringer bell]

I'll be happier if Ober backs up the run scoring with a scoreless inning.

26 up, 24 down. 4 innings, 51 minutes. Since I'm not watching I don't know if it's brilliant pitching or substandard batting.

‘Twas a time when a post from 38 minutes ago was just the top half of the same inning, and not 2-3 innings earlier

Yeah this has been an incredible change, although this game is a bit too fast
