I didn't realize this was a night game on Fox, no me gusta.

Time for López to get on a roll.

For me it's not about not being able to watch it ... except for I'll be at work ... but ... since I'm solo at work tonight, I can play it on my computer ... which makes me very happy ... except that I want to hear Missa Solemnis (Beethoven) ... so I'll have the game on with the sound off. Nice juxtaposition ... Missa Solemnis as the soundtrack to the game 🙂

It is time for Lopez to pitch a good game. After signing extension of contract he just has not pitched well.  He needs to start pitching better. I think in his last game he had a inning where he walked 2 batters and hit 1 batter.

I was going to try to make a joke regarding her husband, Mister Olemnis, but I decided it wouldn't be very funny.

I can see big Joey Gallo protecting Lewis in an alley, but the lineup?

Let's keep things rolling guys! As for Rocco, Get yourself tossed again it seems to help plus no Buxton threads since then.

Gallo due for multi-hit night.

Yet another Twins game on Fox, but I get the Dodgers game on Fox tv here.  Hoping the internet feed will show the Twins if I click on the Fox link at mlb.com.

Now they do.

Smart at-bat by Kirilloff. He know’s that if he crushes the starter in the first inning, he undoubtedly doesn’t get to stay in the game.

[CRF]

Jason Benetti and AJ doing the game on FOX. Nice!

[UpstateNewYorker]

AJ just said the Twins are 5th in MLB in percentage of runs scored via the home run: 48%.

[mrtwinsfan]
