Wondering how many more runs they score if Wallner was hitting in place of Kep.

Gausman continues to struggle against the mighty Twins. If the Twins face the Jays in the playoffs(hypothetical), do they start Gausman in Game 1?

Why would the Twins start Gausman??

You'd think there'd be rules against such things too, no?

Too late. That's the full $400 worth of ugly there.

If that ends up affecting the ads I see, the good news is there's no chance I will be tempted into making impulse purchases.

I love Fluevog shoes … and they are Canadian! 🙂

If the Jays let me, I would.  I don't let them pick my starter, though.

Do you have to buy 1.33 pairs in order to get both shoes?  How does that work, exactly?

Given the exchange rate, Twins 7.5, Blue Jays 2.5

[CoastiePilot08]

That’s on Julien

[Jocko87]

Correa also tried to skip that throw.

Did Kepler not help your granny cross the street or something?  You're very fixated on Kepler.

We're closing in on 200 replies so that means there is excitement and the twins are winning  by alittle  , I just heard a 2 run homer and score is 6-4  twin button of five ...

His timing was off from Julien's feed

Heading downtown for Mahler, then out on the road tomorrow morning to Minnesota for my brother's 80th birthday celebration. Won't be checking in on the Twins or TD often.

Hope you and the Twins have a good couple of weeks.

I'm liking Plouffee more with each broadcast. 

 

"That's a tough look for Donnie Barrels there...he was casting and reeling all in same motion"

He and Morneau seem to have a nice dynamic going on.  Too bad he won't be on more.

[mrtwinsfan]

Gotta make the Plays,  Louie you pitched pretty well ,

Watch how much he dips when starting his a.b. when he keeps his base level thru the swing its a whole different Kep

I don't think he pitched all that well. He battled, but lots of traffic.

Granny buzzed an inside pitch at eye level against Kep and he swung weakly at the next pitch for a strikeout.  You remember that kind of thing.

[Blyleven2011]

Shut this Toronto team down , come on pitching  , pitching is not contagious  ,

What Mahler? We just did the 9th … what an incredible work!

Yup, and he tried to make up for it with the skip throw.  Just tried it again.  1st baseman love it and he can uncork fully.

He pitched around a lot of stuff well when he clearly wasn't having his best day.  That's encouraging, but overall I would agree with you.

Just stop.  He's not skipping a throw from 2nd on purpose.
