Willi reminds us that he’s really not supposed to be an everyday fixture in the lineup.

I’ve never been this irritated to see the Twins take a lead in the ninth inning. 

Hey he gets hot heading into trade deadline and wins them a few games.  Gravy.  As long as they realize it never lasts and they move him.

Happy Gallo gets the go-ahead dinger. 

Sad it'll buy him another 100 PAs.

I have no love for Gallo but I’d move on from Kepler first, I think.*

*I also don’t care just as long as one, if not both, of them go

I wonder if there is any contender who might take Correa (and his contract) for a low level prospect.

Lots of them.

I can't believe Duran makes throwing 100 or more mph, look so easy.

Preaching to the choir here.

Julien is an adventure on every ball he touches.

Who needs a good fielding SS who is not a good hitter, at least this season?

[glunn]

Nice hustle by Gallo.

Are you watching the Oakland feed?  Their announcer used that exact word.

Ha. No.

He's obviously reading TD and using my analysis.

He apparently dropped off that piano on his back and delivered it to its destination before being inserted in the game.

[ashbury]

RBI.  Good gravy.  The wheels are coming off, bit by bit.

[USAFChief]

Duran has been pretty ... unremarkable for a while now.

[Parfigliano]

I cant believe in todays game the MLBPA hasnt demanded something be done about the bullpen in play in OAK hazard.

[IndyTwinsFan]

AARGH. 

[glunn]

Please make this game be over.

[IndyTwinsFan]

We just can't do ANYTHING easy.

[IndyTwinsFan]

WHEW!

[RickOShea]

So Gallo sits tomorrow?

 

[glunn]

Whew. That was close.

[USAFChief]

Winnah.

Feels more like a loss, somehow. 

But. Winnah.

Julien definitely

Time of game, 3:28.  Flashback to 2022.  Those were simpler times.  Worse times.  This game kind of dragged.

[NotAboutWinning]

That might be the most painful win they've had this year!
