Surprised that Willi didn't go on any of the three pitches to Julien.

Yeah, I hope they continue to play as they have lately.  I don't want to see them go into a shell and hope to coast to season's end.

[stringer bell]

Let's get Senga to 75 pitches this inning.

[Parfigliano]

Keuchel is on tonight.  Score him some runs.

[Parfigliano]

Is the wind blowing in from CF

[RickOShea]

Ever notice how often someone, will hit a high and deep fly, for an out, and gets ignored when he returns to dugout.  Not even an, 'ataboy' or 'just missed out'.  Rocco does this very well, but a lot of other managers do, as well.

[Parfigliano]

Shouldnt Wallner have thrown to 2B there.  Alonso is slow now he scores

Yeah, I would think so.

Hence the quote marks around the word ‘flavor’ 🙂

Mauricio is guy Met fans been calling for all year.  Last year too. Just called him up last week

[Nine of twelve]

I think pull Keuchel. His margin of error is razor thin and he was fortunate to keep the Mets at 2 runs. 

[Nine of twelve]

Damn good catch. 

[Parfigliano]

Be really dangerous offense if Correa caught fire

Spontaneous combustion, or a petrol station accident?

Twins fans wanted gray traded cause he’d throw 4 shutout innings the five up 2-3 runs after that sometimes. The average start is about a 4 era. Uneducated fans expect

too much:

Wallner would be hitting top 5 every day if he learned to foul off the close pitches instead of hoping and praying for a ball 

Doing a Gallo impression    2  popouts

Rocco is way smarter than me.

Nice shutdown inning there. Now do they send him out again? 

[Parfigliano]

Those 3 pitches to LaCastro were within 2 inches of each other on inside corner for a K.  Unless Twins put up a TD this inning dont let him face Alonzo and Lindor again.

[Azviking101]

So many starter give up their runs in innings 1-4. I feel like fans expect too much of starters who give up their runs later in games. 

[Parfigliano]

Stealing time Julien.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Time to get the lead back here. 

[IndyTwinsFan]

Time to get the lead back here. 

[Parfigliano]

That died quietly 

[Azviking101]

It’ll take some time, but Lewis will learn to foul off pitches that have a low chance of being a hit. 

[Azviking101]

Dick Bremer is so old 😂😂😂

[Parfigliano]

Im guessing Twins pretty happy with 5 IP 2 ER from Keuchel.  A scrap heap success.
