Well, a bit more economical with the pitch count would've been nice, but on a day where he didn't really have a great feel for the zone, Ober did what he had to.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Recovered, keep his cool and finished strong! Props Bailey Ober!

[jimbo92107]

Wow, Ober's command is razor-sharp today. Right now he looks like the Twins' best pitcher, and it's not even close.

Another quality start

The guy is pitching crazy good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Parfigliano]

Crooked number time.

[CRF]

Howz about we take Ober out right now...let him catch a little happy nappy, rest a bit, pump some fluids in him...then start him in the 2nd game? He can probably give us 5 decent innings in the nightcap!

[jimbo92107]

Now we see if Alcala's recent improvement will continue.

I have to admit that same thought also ran though my weak mind.

why's he working then? I mean, if it is the end times, might as well have some fun....

Still have to pay the rent.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Now would be a perfect time for a 2-run homer...

[Robert Floren]

Lets bring Buxton home here

 

[USAFChief]

Lewis is not running well at all

 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Oh well. At least he moved him over.

Probably not the same fluid(s) that the rest of us are usually throwing back!

Miranda...not his best day.

Once again the contact play is worthless

HOw did you know that was part of my lunch? My video camera is covered....

[Aggies7]

Stats for everything, would love to know the success of the contact play. Can’t be more than 20%

[gregens]

Even though the hit and run failed, I'm not against the call.

Seems like for TC its a low success move

Also sounds like Zebby will be making his MLB debut next week.

If Zebby comes up with Varland and Festa already up, it will be interesting to see who starts in St Paul next week.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

If it is going to be SWR, Festa and Louie as the back of the rotation for the rest of the way, the offense really needs to wake up.

[Robert Floren]

About any other ground ball scores Buxton except that one to third.

They started rolling everything over in the 2nd inning and didn't make any adjustments.
