The schedule is pretty weak down the stretch.  Let's get some wins and some rest for the weary to get ready for some October baseball!

[USAFChief]

No Correa again...

Weak or strong schedule, the Twins don't follow suit.

I think they're going with Sony 90"  Supposedly has the best picture.

Chicago looks like they have less than 5000 in attendance. That place looks empty.

1-2-3 in the 1st. He's got a good change-up to go with 96 97 mph fastball. We'll see what Twins can do

[IaBeanCounter]

Ober scheduled to start tomorrow

His regular season is not salvageable. But he can wash away a lot of that if he plays well in the postseason.

No hits off a pitcher who hasn't won a game with an ERA of almost 9

[stringer bell]

I'm getting Philip Humber vibes.

[PDX Twin]

Looking at the Chicago averages on the MLB.TV box score, they are shocking. These are names that I remember being good young players/prospects. The numbers are terrible except for LouBob.

[PDX Twin]

Nice swing, EJ!

[PDX Twin]

Good thing the kids can play!

Fun to watch Julien and Lewis having fun in Chicago.

I hope to be there in person Saturday and/or Sunday

[stringer bell]

I imagine there aren't many watching this game.

The sway bars and control arms are starting to rattle apart.

Looks as though you can have your pick of seats.  Perhaps even a personal vendor all to yourself!

Did the ump at the end of that inning ask to check Maeda’s hands? Do they do that routinely?

Yes they do.  Along with the hat and glove.

I should know better than ask a serious question.

Yes. Yesterday I saw an ump check a relief pitcher's hands as he came into the game. That was a first, that I have seen.

And if you are a Yankee against the Twins they dont even DQ you when they find something.
