Winner. 

Dammit.

If I get a medal, I’d run over to pick it up, but that would take a really long time. 

[Aggies7]

The long inning probably would have kept him from coming back out anyway

[mnfireman]

Station-to-station baseball at its finest.....just like watching t-ball

[Aggies7]

How are you not throwing home there (towards the cutoff)

Morris started for St Paul tonight. Six innings, two hits, one run. Great start for his firs AAA game.

Didn't realize Jack came out of retirement. Good for him!

[IndianaTwin]

Are we playing the Royals? Or the White Sox? 

[thelanges5]

Manny and Colo!!!

I know Zebby had one bad inning in one start that skewed his numbers at AAA, but asking for better than a disaster is about right IMHO. I’ll accept two runs in four plus innings and hope the Twins can get to Lugo.

Holy cow this KC team is a fraud. They spent the first half fattening themselves on lesser competition, 11-1 against the White Sox and such. Twins are probably only competing against BOS or SEA for 2 of the last 3 wild cards & should be there. 

Witt is legit along with a couple other guys in their lineup I guess. Pitchers are obviously overachieving. Lugo a career season. Great job by their 3B  tonight lol 

Matthews, not bad tonight. Not great but not too bad. Carries himself really well. He has a future.

Though he was honked off that they didn’t let him go the distance. 

[USAFChief]

Okert it is.

Is it me or does Austin Martin not square up the ball very well?

His contact just sounds non solid.

Phooey. Matthew Boyd 5.1 innings, 3 hits, 1 run, 0 walks, 6 strikeouts for Cleveland. Aren’t people supposed to be erratic in their return from Tommy John surgery? 

Cleveland 2-1 in the eighth.

Sometimes confirmations is still useful.

 

Or at least comforting.

(and please don't beat people too much. 'tis frowned upon)
