Man the Twins get hit a lot. 

Leading the majors.

Their pitchers are just about smack-dab in the middle of the ranking, for comparison's sake. And there were no HBP in yesterday's game, just in case I thought bad blood might have crossed over from yesterday.

As long as I’m asking questions anybody out there been to a game at Comerica?  Looks like a nice ballpark. 

Been there a couple of times. Enjoyed it and the surrounding part of the city.  I'm not the most critical judge of ballparks, though.

Good sight lines, wide concourses.  Not as compact a ballpark as Target Field or PNC Park is.  The area around the ballpark is pretty nice too for eating and drinking.

I've been to it, it's a nice park, good place to watch a game.

Hopefully we can see Bailey's ERA dip below 4 for the first time this year. Go Twins. 

His era is now below 4.... I sure hope it continues to fall.

Or not.

The number of hard-hit balls right at people by this team is frustrating at times.

Missed the beginning. Miranda hit in the head?  Did it look like he’s hurt or precautionary?

95 MPH off the ear-flap.  Left under his own power after a couple of minutes.  Will be evaluated for concussion symptoms later on.

Then a fly ball hit for Det.

Nice play by Martin. Would love to see him thrive the rest of the season.

Ober stays on task  again

[TwinsCD]

Marlins putting Josh Bell on waivers.  He has 5 HR in his last 6 games.  So just when you think our front office has some blooper moments, be glad we're not the Marlins.

I don't hate that idea.  It's probably a better deterrent than the tit for tat method.  The penalty isn't that pitcher having to hit and get hit, its multiple outs inserted into your lineup.  Might be 5 at bats in this game and the clean up hitter gone. 

It doesn't happen all that often but that severe of a penalty changes approach drastically.

DH Canha just struck out with a chance to tie the game in the bottom of the 4th.  I was holding my breath ...

Shocked there wasn't a trade market.

Twins need to scratch some runs across. Letting the Tigers hang around.

Happened yesterday.. but Skubal had something to do with it.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Jeffers....sigh.

Yup. They don't have any excuses today. Should be able to hit Kenta.

[Parfigliano]

Jeffers has a real K popout thing going.

[Patzky]

Maeda had a great relief appearance last week too.. think was three or four shutdown innings. Guess he found his role here.

Seems every other team has hit him this year

[TwinsCD]

Why on Earth would you challenge that?

We don't even have Farmer around for a backup.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Why challenge this?

[stringer bell]

Looks like a wasted challenge.
