Phillies v Twins; 7/24 @ 12:10pm CT

[TwinsCD]

That's the 3rd ball in this series that Kepler could have laid out for but he must have thought he was playing in the Dome and was trying to prevent the inside-the-parker.

[UpstateNewYorker]

Not one inside pitch to Castellanos.  I don't get it.

[Patzky]

We're gonna run out of bullpen by the 7th inning at this rate.

[TwinsCD]

Really good AB for Jeffers defensively here.  Talk about a guy who has plummeted since April.

[Patzky]

One of a handful of issues here..

[Parfigliano]

WP?  Passed ball.

That aged well.... Good job Mr. Festa (tips hat)

It's almost like it's difficult to predict the future!

[Patzky]

Festa got his ERA under 10, for the moment.

[Peter]

This is going to get ugly real quick!!!

[Patzky]

"Gonna have to throw strikes and trust your defense."

 

"I don't trust my defense."

[Patzky]

Escape artist part ll.

[TwinsCD]

Festa driving like a NYC cabbie who has a fare that is late for his flight.

Playing with fire.

[USAFChief]

Festa: I too like to live dangerously.

 

[mnfireman]

Dodged a bullet there, can't walk the bases loaded and expect to get Schwarber and Turner to strike out every time.

Pitch count getting high, may end up looking like a BP game after all. 

[Patzky]

So long as it's a bullpen game..

 

Let's play bullpen bingo. Who's next, and next, and next? 

If tied..Sands, Thielber, Staumont.

If behind.. Thielber, Stewart, Sands.

If ahead, Staumont, Stewart, Jax.

[Patzky]

''if Ahead"!

[TwinsCD]

About time one of those 114mph shots off Wallner's bat landed somewhere other than a fielder's glove.  

WOW

441 Feet, I guess he got a hold of that one!

Wouldn't that be Phire?

[Patzky]

Maybe the pine tar has been removed from Julien's bat

 

[mnfireman]

Nice recovery inning by Festa, now at 49 pitches through basically 3 innings, might get 2 more out of him.

Bullet dodged. Nice job Mr Festa.

I can't bear to watch this game live via mlb.tv, but monitoring occasionally via MLB Gameday, I can only think of this:

I. Also. Like. To. Live. Dangerously.

/edit - grievously ninjaed.  I can't bear to keep up with game threads on a game like this either.

Not so much, another called strike 3....

[TwinsCD]

Unbelievable.  4 straight backwards K's.  Get him outta here.
