Really nice rally. 

 

There has been quite a bit of putting the ball forward lately.

[RickOShea]

Damn. I\d love to play a lot more games against the Angels/

[Craig Arko]

Odds both Correa and Duran are activated tomorrow?

[IndianaTwin]

Wow -- Vazquez has a 100 percent stolen base success rate since June of 2022. 

[Robert Floren]

Longest Twins winning streak is 15 games per google, though Senators won 17 straight in 1912, before many of you were born.

[h2oface]

Monday taking (probably) a 7 game win streak into Chicago to face the White Sox, who have their own 3 game win steak since they left Minnesota..... against the Rays. Who would have thunk it?

Back then the Senators weren't on Ballys, and you could watch on regular cable.

[USAFChief]

Gotta say, I prefer the "Land of 10000 Rakes" to the Sausage toss.

[IndianaTwin]

Twins playing their 10,000 regular season game, by the way. 

(Not this season -- that would be a record.)

Funny thing happened on the way to 7 wins in a row 

Why it's best not to get too emotional too soon. It's a 9 inning game, a 162-game season

You don't seem to talk about Flashbury too much ...

Putting the sausage forward? Won't someone think of the children!

That's what Madeleine L'Engel said.

Oh so close.

 

"Curses! Foil again."

I like Ash's answer better

Weird to see Sands has a 0.71 ERA. That's why you move failed starters to the bullpen, it works wonders sometimes. Even if it isn't sustainable, it's better than being stuck as an AAAA starter.

Anyone can have a career year ... ?

All this talk about burying reminds me, I had a door-to-door coffin salesman stop by yesterday. I told him, "That's the last thing I need." 

[h2oface]

Lax. 2 strikes 2 outs. Can't put them away.

He must have some massive shoulders lugging that suitcase full of samples around.

[Shaitan]

Maybe this is why he's only pitching 1 inning at a time.

[Shaitan]

Imagine this game without a pitch clock...

Not only that, but he stole 20 percent of my couch. 

Ouch. 

[h2oface]

A good offense can sure cover up some pretty poor pitching the last two days.

What i miss?

A Vazquez stolen base. 

[USAFChief]

Would have preferred not to dip into the deep end of the bullpen.

It's easy if you try.

First faceless player I've ever seen in gameday.
