Was that Falvey on the recent recordings of comments about Ryanon the tv an inning or so ago?

 

I wasn't paying much attention

Yes it was and the tone was, well, not optimistic

You think if a guy faces at least three batters in game 1, he's likely to pitch in game 2? Likely to? And if he does, he's almost certainly not pitching tomorrow. 

The lefty didn't enter the game.

I said he was warmed and ready if Rocco PH's Wallner or Larnach for Margot.

I said he was warmed and ready if Rocco PH's Wallner or Larnach for Margot. 

And I said if he entered, he was unlikely to pitch again? So I'm not sure your argument here?

Thats Falvey saying "done for the year" without using those words.

That's pretty much what I heard. He can't even do that right.

[jaimedude]

Finish this with a win Twins!

Need vintage Duran here...

Actually, you didn’t. 

But no matter.

I’ve seen enough rain today with hurricane debby blowing through

Why not?

Because he has been barely league average on defense starting last year.

I'm in Central NJ and it looks to be staying west of here but even so, the winds are whipping pretty good...

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Brennan is such a pest.

1.5” here today and I’m going to guess over 6 inches the last 8-9 days

You play for the lead on the road, you play for the tie at home....

Not when you're winning in the 7th inning of the first game of a doubleheader which is also the first game of a 4 game series against the team you're chasing for the division lead.

I think it’s called lluvia down there

[Aggies7]

The rumors of a Duran demise have been a bit exaggerated

Reasonable facsimile. 

[SD happy]

That was the ‘good’ Duran!!

[gregens]

I'm sure of the difference between defensive indifference and a stolen base when the twins are on defense?

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

1 down now! Let's get 2 later on.

What's the bullpen usage - presuming we might be able to get Jax again?

[Randy Griffith]

On to the next game.  Hope Royce and Byron are ready!

[Robert Floren]

Hot Dog!
