So I dreamed last night that Lewis made an awkward throw from third and tore a muscle in his arm. My dream-self immediately thought of Dave Dravecky breaking his arm mid pitch (which I saw). 
Glad to see him not in the lineup today.

Decent start. 

[big dog]

Quite an inning. Think Mahle comes out for the second?

Sure hope so.

Thank you Tyler Mahle.

The Mahle trade pays dividends after all!

Cory Provus made a point to compliment the umpiring crew. I thought the home plate ump last night was excellent and the two previous seemed to give the Twins the majority of the 50-50 calls. Umpire scorecard gave the Thursday night home plate ump middling grades and the umps on Saturday and Sunday excellent scores. All three umps marginally favored Minnesota, with only Thursday being significant.

Is it okay with everyone if I picture Spencer Steer on the mound for the Rangers today?

Maybe that really is Steer out on the mound. Doing that MI mask thing

[big dog]

Nice tidy 26-pitch inning there. Looking forward to more of the same. 

[big dog]

Let’s go Pablo. Sweep the leg!

[stringer bell]

Limit the damage.

They really hit the foul balls off Lopez.

I assume you meant not from Pablo

[MMMordabito]

[TwinsCD]

It's mystifying how average Pablo has been this year.

[stringer bell]

Big Plate Appearance here.

[Parfigliano]

Pablo better have several 10 pitch innings coming up

My rationale for the projection was to see what we traded for a not-at-all bum Steer. I got my wish.

Hopefully we're done with Adventures in Pablo for the day. Meanwhile, the Guardians have managed a plunked batter on base through four innings, and nothing else.

[Parfigliano]

Julien got big hit yesterday and isnt in today against RHP but Farmer is.  Why?  

[mrtwinsfan]

Alright Pablo quit trying to be perfect and Attack .  Mahle did it can you ?
