Keep wondering why Detroit would let Castro go and keep a guy Like Badoo, whos a terrible fielder,  ??

Baddoo has a cooler name.  More fun with it.

[RickOShea]

Why doesn't Klondike bar make a bar that looks like a baseball base?

[RickOShea]

Kaat didn't spend much time in the booth.  I guess he wanted to distance himself from the Twins.

Why do you watch, then ?

Stupid a** question… why does anyone watch them? Maybe because we are all Twins fans…. Does that change anything?

Hey, we’re only five solo homers from the lead! #twinsbaseball

It isn’t genetic, I don’t think, but it’s gotta be something like that. Maybe the influence of WCCO on breast milk? Whatever it is, the Twins are harder to quit than smoking, and this year I think they are equally hazardous to my health.

Kepler: multi-faceted hitting machine

[stringer bell]

Perkins is absolutely right. Winder hasn’t thrown a good breaking ball in the zone all inning.

Wait I thought Badoo was the cat's meow? 

[CRF]

Tremendous catch by MAT!

Winder and Headrick may get “rewarded” for their outings by being optioned. Ortega can come back. I don’t know who the other guy might be. 

[ziggy]

MAT can play glove!!!

 

I do like that the Twins seemingly put their best defensive team on the field.

[stringer bell]

Taylor may have kept the Phillies from a double-digit lead. 

[RpR]

Twins keep hitting dribblers to the short stop, isn't that what Keuchel was supposed to do?

[RpR]

Another dribbler to short, good grief!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Cory Provus and Kris Atteberry pretending not to know why Philly fans are booing Carlos Correa. 

I don’t know, man. I know Gladden says stuff he doesn’t believe just to play the game. Maybe that’s was what that was. Why even go there, though.

Comedy Central,  Cleveland down 1  top of 8th

[MABB1959]

What can we expect with only 2 hitters with an average above .250 and one is Luplow with very few games.   3 on the bench also over .250.  Not that .250 is that great either.  Not a batter 300 or over. The 3 who have pitched ERA average over 7.  What is the fairy tale about turning straw into gold?    

[stringer bell]

Schwarber might get over .200 before the Twins leave town. 
 

No comparison between him and Gallo as hitters despite both having a sub-.200 batting average. 

[Irishman]

Keuchel is finished for good.    Twins need to release him!   

[CRF]

Time for the Hillbillies, since this game is dunzo. Goodnight gang.

[RickOShea]

TB 8 - Cleve 4, top of the 8th

Big sigh from Falvey!

[RickOShea]

Twins instilling fear.

The illustrious Cole Sands, no doubt.
