Ober's ERA in two-day game starts is 5.30, compared to 2.25 in night games. He doesn't like afternoon starts, I guess.

In fairness, I don’t like waking up earlier either

What if the Pope's name is Pope Ditka?

I think he's on four days rest? Even though he moved up a day. He last pitched on Saturday.

Hmmm.  Maybe you’re right. It was a day earlier than rotation is what I was thinking. 

[Patzky]

Escape artists are extremely exhausting to witness.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Ober battling out there.

[Aggies7]

Good grief Bailey Houdini

He looked great last year when he first came up, what happened? 

Hopefully not what happened to Julien and Miranda

Time for the offense to do their part. This is Dean Kremer not Nolan Ryan. LFG offense!

I'm not watching the game. Does he still have a tail? If so, we're not out of the woods yet

Yup. He definitely seems to be off his game today despite the extremely impressive Houdini acts.

Twins have zero business being in this game. 

Offense needs to do something, what on earth. 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

WTF, ump...

[BrokenCompass]

Robot umps now! Lewis robbed on that strike 3 call, good grief. 

[Chris Hove]

Wow, called third strike to Royce looked pretty questionable.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

If that third pitch is a strike, that can't be called a strike. Come on...

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Nice job, Bader. Now here comes a double play...

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Didn't like being right that time. Vazquez, you stink.

[BrokenCompass]

Vazquez is almost unplayable at this point. Time for him to hang up the cleats I think. Been a decent career.

Absolutely agree!!! If twins can’t win rather see orioles blow this open

Yup. He's basically a cheerleader in the dugout and not much more. Everything is pulled, weak contact. 

[Chris Hove]

Yeah, his swing doesn't look comfortable; it looks like Lewis is just using his arms to swing right now.

Any magician can make a Queen of Diamonds disappear, but what about a WHOLE bunch of baserunners?!

 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Interestingly (or not) enough...last week in Cleveland...the Twins were on a 4 game win streak and had gotten to 3 games under .500 - lost 2-1 and went into a mini tail spin. Hope we don't see a repeat today.

 

 

On second thought - doubt they keep Baltimore to 2 runs today.
