Just reminding us of what was posted earlier.

I think the under is safe as @chief stated the Twins won't hit in their half of the 9th

Picked a good game to go to! Great to see this lineup erupt. Jeffers is crushing it right now, it’s hard to remember how rough 2022 was for him.

Well, yeah, but only cause we prolly won't get to bat in the bottom of the 9th. 

All looks the same in the box score!

Nuts on his sundae, tonite!

Are Kepler and Pagan the best players on this team right now?  What is going on...

Jeffers is looking good, the new approach is a much more complete hitter. Wallner is not just swinging for the fences either

This comment has aged incredibly well already.

He doesn't want a sundae.  He wants a Blizzard

Watching   ramirez 2nd time even funnier,  Timmy thinking he was Ali, and walked right into a wild right,

He pulled that left guard down. Oops 👊 

[RickOShea]

With buxton out of the line up, it simplifies things so much.

Typical Ramirez. throws a punch, then back pedals.

[Jocko87]

Why is Winder with the 26 man, if not for games like this?

 always thought it was good of Joe Mauer and his wife to support the brand and have twins. Now Baldelli. Any other Twins have twins?

I 'think' Denny Hocking has twins also. If not him someone from that era of Twinsville had twins....not gonna look it up.

[RickOShea]

I hear they finally diagnosed Buxton as having 'delicatus athleticus'.

Didn't he have a long relief of Ryan

The suspensions out of this thing are going to be very interesting.  Multiple re-engagements by multiple different parties. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Rocco  , we dont need to see any other Pitchers ,  Let this kid finish

On the 2nd, if he was down for days rotate someone up?  I thought that was the point of that spot.

And, Rocco, we don't need no education.

Rocco may worried about Keuchel tomorrow and wants Wnder ready, just in case

Mauer was inducted into the Twins HOF, score is 10-1, Kepler hit one into the Delta Skyclub (8th one ever) and you are worried that Josh Winder isn't pitching?

That would be good thinking by Rocco

[Danchat]

7 Ks on the last 8 PAs… 

But the pitching retired 15 men in a row! Probably good we didn’t trade Maeda away.

We just went 7 days with Sands on the roster and the bullpen on fumes.  Its a pretty valid question and I'm not one distracted by shiny objects.  Cept a fight in Cleveland.

Wonder what Kyle Garlick thinks of the new r.f. guy,
