Interesting to see Buxton talking with former Twins Lopez 2.82 ERA and Pagan 3,34 ERA.

How was the cruise? Mrs Parf and I are doing that in Aug.

I did the exact same thing in '23.  It was an absolutely marvelous adventure that I felt was well worth the cost.

It sucked. Nothing but breathtaking scenery day after day, fabulous tours, too much good food, and zero responsibilities. 1 star.

Can go ahead and flush this umpire already. Two terrible calls already against the Twins.

Got your wish.  New umpire in to call strikes.  At least it wasn't Phil Cuzzi, he's not much better than who was currently behind the plate.

He didn't do his ball-strike pregame warmup

played a 1-dollar 2-team parley   abbott getting over 5.5 strikeouts and Festa going at least 4.2 innings

Did you get a booster on the strikeout parlay if he does it before the end of the 5th inning?  5 K's on Twins batters already.  Looks good to make the parlay so far.  Now it will depend on how itchy Rocco's trigger finger is to replace Festa.

For all those who don't like the Company man broadcasting, Plouffe is coming back to the booth for both the Milwaukee and Seattle series.

Good.  He's the only one that has the stones to call them out on their crap play.  Rest of them are Smithers level Toadies.

Focus my guy.

[The Great Hambino]

Do your allotted pickoff attempts reset with the next batter?

Cory Provus say jeffers has been making great adjustments  all season , wonder what game he been watching  ...

Caught that too. He said especially with two strikes. Noticed that Sunday in the ninth.

[David HK]

Welp, you could see that coming a mile away.  

Why does a 2-1 deficit seem insurmountable these daze? 

[BrokenCompass]

Horrific offensive output yet again. Wake me up in 2 months when this team starts hitting and they're 9 games back in the wild card race.  

I'd rather watch them lose 12-8 every day than have to sit through any more of this. 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

As a pitcher, has to be hard when you know your offense can't get you more than 1-2 runs a game.

[Parfigliano]

1st hit puts TC behind 2-1

[Aggies7]

Sadness 

[Peter]

These 2out hits are killing the twins!!!👎😤😡🤬

This staff walks a tight rope every game.

I'm with you David. 

This 2-1 deficit might as well be 12-1.  Not sure what Rocco can do, go out there and take swings? 

[mrtwinsfan]

Latroy , dont give in - Steer struggling on deck ,  hear that Jeffers??

Yes

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Again with two outs.

I won't miss Maki when he goes. 

[Patzky]

Hold em here. Might be a chance 

[IndyTwinsFan]

Well, given how we hit lefties, that Reds hit may well be the game.

Who would have thought it was actually allowable to get a hit with runners in scoring position?  We must not have gotten that message.
