Prolly Jax.

What got benched? 

[glunn]

Galleminator makes the catch.

[Schmoeman5]

LA announcers are smug a-holes. Who basically just implied that the Twins don't belong on the same field as them. And that the AL Central is so weak the Twins should win it by double digits

With all the running Buxton has done tonight, will he need tomorrow off? Or is this what we can expect more of from here on out

Yes

[glunn]

I hope that we are all standing.

I don't agree, and been listening to the TV guys all night. It sounded like a compliment to me.

[glunn]

Huge win with a young starter.

[h2oface]

WE SAW HISTORY!

[MMMordabito]

Winning at Dodger Stadium was way Oberdue.

YES!

Someone questioned Solano and Castro being in the lineup. They both had good games. Major league ballplayers are going to have good games even if they aren’t regulars. In addition to scoring runs without homers ( until the 9th) and stealing bases, they played a clean game in the field. That’s what it took.

I admit I didnt like starting Solano.  I was wrong.

I didn't either. But I didn't say it, just thought it. So I was quietly wrong. But hey, one time again we won't like it and we will inevitably be correct.

[CRF]

Well...I stand corrected. I was wrong. 100%. Solano and Castro were genius moves! Amazing. Well done Rocco.

Thank you for saying that. Maybe next time wait a few innings before prognosticating a loss 🙂

Props to Ober for an outstanding game when the Twins needed it.

I think that was the first positive post in the game thread for a game we not only won, but a game we lead the entire game, for a game many here thought we were going to lose.
