Hit a homer, get a day off.  Polanco and Larnach out. I wonder what the bullpen availability will be tonight. 

[PDX Twin]

Could they play basketball instead? Ober has 5 inches on him.

[stringer bell]

Cross-sports reference: Clayton Kershaw was the center on Matthew Stafford’s high school football team and Stafford was Kershaw’s catcher on the baseball team.

Good saints game  6-5 bottom 10th, Royce 3 run Homer  2 singles.

Oliver Ortega got the save. He's my sneaky pick to come up and stay in the Twins' bullpen.

[RickOShea]

Might be low scoring game. Gotta push Salano across.

Old Donnie Barrels!

Solano and Castro? C'mon now, Rocco. 

You were saying?

[PDX Twin]

Yay! As Dick pointed out, the first hit the Twins have ever gotten off of Kershaw.

[PDX Twin]

Time for robo-ump!!!

[RickOShea]

Re-adjust the box, please.

[wabene]

Two out rally let's go! 

[cHawk]

A bountiful harvest by the farmer, to say the least.

[stringer bell]

Farmer and Solano weren't on last year's Twins team that went 0-21 vs. the future Hall of Famer.

And German, the Yankee pitcher has just been tossed from Blue Jays game ...

The video on MLB.com shows some black muck on his pants, at his hip, clear as the gray hair on me head.

I have given up on Dodgers' audio. Charley Steiner is non-descriptive in calling the game and I swear Rick Monday is dozing. Talk about dead air time!

[mrtwinsfan]

Rocco please quit Carlos and Buck back to back,  

[wabene]

How's about the same call on high strikes for both teams? 

[RickOShea]

Belt high, center cut. that's a no-no.

[USAFChief]

Ober is struggling to say the least.

[RickOShea]

Ober's not smooth right now.  He seems to be opening up his shoulder.  Hopefully he'll get it going.

[RickOShea]

Wow, nice snag by Jeffers.

[lecroy24fan]

Ober is leaving a lot of pitches up. But a few non strikes were called strikes. 

 

This ump has an inconsistent strike zone.

What would you say the most?

[lecroy24fan]

Ober got away with that last pitch.

[PDX Twin]

One of the uglier shutout innings.

[stringer bell]

Bailey had 'em all the way!!

I guess one could say that it was never going to be Ober easy.

How was that not gone-zo
