Random question - anyone know who is doing the TV color broadcast in Houston this weekend?  Wife can't decide what throwback jersey to pack - Morneau?

I want to say LaTroy Hawkins did it last year for some reason? But I could be way off so don't take that as gospel.

[Patzky]

Ahh Carlos c'mon man.

[BrokenCompass]

Didn't Texas come to Minnesota last year and sweep the Twins in a 4-game set or something? Kind of setting the tone for a massive slump? Am I remembering this right? 

[mrtwinsfan]

Double play King strikes again

Carlos stinks, frankly. 

This entire team can hit well when they play the White Sox, Oakland or Pittsburgh - but get a .500 team in the other dugout and it's awfully difficult to watch.

Alcala  in Texas -- started the downfall  and team never recovered in  mid August

I'm still worried  ...

Like the aggressiveness , but Castro was clearly out easily and Rocco had them check to see if they wanted to challenge  ...

So Wentz not yet on roster but Alcala still is. Gotta think he's out.

Was a great throw from Heim

[Patzky]

That was fast. Speaking of Heim.

Swings at junk outside ,  and gets called out alot on low strikes

[thelanges5]

This is probably a recent bias or just me being whiny. 
 

Twins seem to miss when they get middle middle pitches and not take advantage. Every team that we are playing is able to take a middle middle pitch and hit it into the second deck.
 

 

[Patzky]

I guess I'm confident Festa can go five or six innings. But if we're down by five at that point.. it's moot.

This time though , Correa didn't have to hit into a double play  , he just stood there at strike 3 and Willie out stealing for double play  ...

If it's close YOU SHOULD SWING...

Wentz arrives tomm.   Twins can ask Alcala to go down  i didnt know that ,  if he says yes , or says no and gets d,f,a, -do his options start all over again ?  if he says he will ?

meant  clearing Waivers

[mrtwinsfan]

Buck -- playing by himself out there that inning-- nice job Byron

[ziggy]

Buck saving at least 2 runs with that catch.

He is also owed about 1 million bucks for the rest of the season. That might stop another team from being interested?

[thelanges5]

Would be nice to see what our pitchers  could do when pitching with the lead here offense!

[mrtwinsfan]

Get him to 3rd

[Patzky]

Vazquez has been on a bit of a tear lately. Good AB

 

[mrtwinsfan]

Wallner -and Correa  watching ??  ok to walk

I believe we are about to find out. Buck Truck time.

[thelanges5]

11 game hitting streak for Lee. Longest for any Twins player this season.

[mrtwinsfan]

All star --All  star   dont care here

[Blyleven2011]

Lead off hitter has gotten on each inning , nothing to show for it ...

I'm still worried ...
