I was surprised how good looking the Twins home jersey (cream) with Twin cities across the chest looks.  The uniform looks far more professional than the players wearing them.

I'm not a fan, but I loved the Saturday cream throwback jerseys they wore for a handful of years of the last decade.

Jeffers just had to put the ball in play instead of being completely overmatched

Ha!  Pretty fine line you're walking there!

Weird, I'm used to the whole month of September being AL Central matchups. We're already done facing the Tigers and Royals, huh? Still 6 more against Cleveland...

Don't forget the White Sox ... good times!

I'm guessing that they were trying to figure out why What's wife picked up Who's check.

[RickOShea]

What was Castro doing, jogging in?  If Correa doesn't make the catch, there's a good chance Castro comes up short.  Typical lack of managing and coaching.

[RickOShea]

Phillies are gonna clobber the Twins, I'm afraid.

[USAFChief]

hahaha. An old fashioned H&R.

"Old school Rocco."

[wsnydes]

need to start taking advantage of these free passes.  3 of them now and nothing to show for it.

[wavedog]

An actual hit and run!  and it worked - maybe encourage calling for a few more of those.

[RickOShea]

Need a sac fly, Julien

Rocco leaned over to Maki, and said "What just happened"?

[USAFChief]

Of FFS Julien.

[Aggies7]

The utter inability to put a ball in play when needed is remarkable

[wavedog]

futile

[USAFChief]

Pretty good illustration of why strikeouts aren't like any other out. 2 innings in a row.

[Robert Floren]

Twins have a habit of making mediocre pitchers look great.

[wavedog]

Baez fits the Twins hitting profile - we will get him next year to replace Gallo's strikeouts

Looks like the pitchers have figured Julien out and the bloom is off of his rose.
