Let’s put up another 3-spot to make it a 6-spot.

Even forcing the Astros to the bullpen in the fifth would be excellent.

Two hits with the bases loaded. It really happened right?

[stringer bell]

Willi Castro is hitting .272!!! Who woulda thunk?

Only one. 1-2 in the inning.

[wabene]

82-24 pitch counts for Brown and Varland.

Love it, Louie V has already proved he knows what to do with a lead

Momma and Papa Castro.

[stringer bell]

Solano just plain missed that catch.

[wabene]

Donnie Barrel Hands

[RickOShea]

camera guy faked me out on that drive

 

[stringer bell]

I was 99.9% certain that was gone.

He's an adventure in the field.

Maki: "Throw anything over the heart of the plate, you're fined $10,000."

Brengman was off to a slow start, but I suspect he's going to be getting a lot of hits going forward.

I don't want to harsh anyone's mellow, but I just want everybody to be prepared. I just read on MLB, that Pagan is healed, "feeling good", and ready to pitch again. Rocco is quoted as saying it could even be tonight, if the situation comes up. Let's hope it doesn't. 

[mrtwinsfan]

They gave Pena a hit

[wsnydes]

Nice to see Varland work his way out of that inning.

Actually, Pagan is not at the top of my list "not to click", but he's close.

[mrtwinsfan]

Gonna need 5 run lead . For me to feel better , Cmon  Hit  Hit  Hit

[wabene]

Louie V at 44 pitches after 4, that's got a nice ring to it

[Mortimerkenny21]

Let's go Twins! Add some runs!

The Twins would have to score 10 more runs for the situation to be even close to right. At least against Houston

Fine. I'll buy a Blizzard but I think someone said earlier in the thread that jinx's don't count this game...

I'm with you, but I'd never assume anything with our manager.

That's probably not going to happen, but we can always dream.

The trick is to tell them @Squirrelsent you.  They'll put it on her tab and you'll never have to pay for one again!
