[Craig Arko]

Of the nine hitters in the Twins lineup, eight of them now have a BA of .250 or better.

All streaks will end,,  just start another one Sonny,   BATTERS Wake up call

[Bigfork Twins Guy]

What a role reversal.  We try small ball and they go long ball on us.

[Montdak]

Now the line shot DP in SF situation really hurts.    I like our chances though especially if they can keep not letting Ramírez do much.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Welp, Sonny Gray wants to pitch deeper into games, I take Sonny Gray’s side, and… ? 

btw Rocco not in the dugout?

No, down the runway and first door on the left.

He is but not doing much because he had a hospital visit today. 

[Montdak]

Oops they needed that out ahead of Ramírez.  Normally I would say it was another quick hook but going by the splits it’s good to turn him around to bat right handed maybe.

Mid reliever if he could get his ---- wound tight.  

[RickOShea]

[Montdak]

Excellent changeups by Moran.

Worse thing every happened to TC is Bomba. 

I'll die on this hill.

 

[Montdak]

BTW I in general hate switch hitters because of that split problem like Ramírez has.  Polo seems to be doing ok though.

What in the world are you talking about?

[Montdak]

Geez I would have thought Lopez a candidate for non critical situations for a while

Yeah, I thought the same thing.  I guess they want him back on the horse ASAP.

[davidborton]

Clearly Lopez was bored with the old haircut.

Speaking of that.  But I don't know the exact numbers, but Mickey Mantle hit like 50 or 60 points higher as a right handed hitter, but hit twice as many home runs lefthanded 

[Montdak]

Maybe he’s back on the horse.  We need more proof though.

It was reported earlier in the game thread that he had some test done today and wasn't in charge of any pregame and that Tingler was and likely doing the managing tonight

Unless Buxton or Correa are available there or no bench moves left.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

What are the chances if Kepler comes through here??

If Buxton or Correa can't muster at least a pinch hitting appearance, then they need to be IL'ed.  I do realize they may have to pinch run, and I don't think the Twins would use a pitcher.

That's because he had way more left handed at bats.

The chances for an ice storm in the underworld.
