And a play by the Gold Glover. What a night! 

It would be criminal not to award Santana with a gold glove.

Guardians are not a great hitting team,  keep those walks down and they are no better than us

I will go on record here as not liking sending Duran out for 2 innings.

I'm 50/50. Was assuming Jax for the 9th but with only 12 pitches from Duran I'm good with that too.

For some people that advertising is counter productive.  They spend equal time on disclaimers as the product.

I like gambling but it just serves to remind me how rigged the game is.  It's going to go the same direction as online poker eventually.

I assume when you say how rigged the game is…. also applies to the fact that eventually, when “the house “ meaning the “wise guys” and all the corruption that goes with that,  leagues, investors, politicians, tv, athletes etc etc etc…

get their cuts, we are left just enough to come back again to keep on trying to win big?

[IndianaTwin]

I gather that he hit his own pitcher or something?

 

But seriously, thanks. I do remember the game early last season where the Twins won when a White Sox player doinked a Twin running down the first base line in extra innings. The Twins won that game, so I consider any game with an opposing player-instigated doink a sure win for the Twins.

While he is a Twins player. He'll probably be forgotten and Vladdy will get the award because of his popularity.

The handwriting, apparently.

They need 6 more runs before I'd trust Lou.

[mrmpls]

Varland   gotta be kidding,  if you cant trust Duran after 11 pitches, how can we be taken serious ?/  hope it works

Could be, but I hope not.

[David HK]

😅  See how low that pitcher ducked on that wild pitch?

They are leaning into it with all the advertisements because the media money mess is worse than anyone will admit.

Yeah, I see that. Between radio and podcasts gambling promo, I am just stuffed.

[mrmpls]

Come on WALLNER,   OOPS, 

[USAFChief]

This could be Wallner hitting, Rocco. 

Against a RH reliever.

I'm confused, but Rocco is excellent at confusing me.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

If Lou blows this...

[Jocko87]

[mrmpls]

Rocco must be goin by Loueis  last outing,   what else can it be ?

[HarmonK03]

Does Rocco just throw a dart at the board to see who pitches next, not even a spreadsheet would come up with this usage.

[David HK]

You guys were scaring me with that Louie talk.

To be fair to Margot…his primary problem isn’t pinch-hitting. Just hitting.

[Aggies7]

I hate this guy just for the fact that his helmet keeps coming off. Ridiculous
