Festa not getting the high strike called in his favor tonight ...

Good pitch count though , how many innings will Rocco give him if he continues his dominance  ...

Pretty early in the road trip to let the Excel spreadsheet (HAL) to melt down and become unstable by allowing Festa to see the order for the third time.

[Parfigliano]

Buxton got that one on the screws

[ziggy]

when the left fielder just turns around and watches the ball you know he got it good.

Just counting how many rows deep

[Blyleven2011]

Buxton with another solo homerun  , 2 out rally I guess and it doubles our lead ...

My outfielders did that a lot when I pitched. I threw for the cycle in an inning several times.

5.  5 innings is usually the correct answer for Festa and SWR

This is Festa's best game this year. Pitch count is in good shape. The big three relievers for the Twins could use another day off.

[Western SD Fan]

And our speculation is correct.  Coulombe is currently warming up.  Likely won't be any more than 5 innings.  Festa could have a perfect game going and Rocco would take him out after 5.

[karcherd]

Leave Festa in there, Rocco put the computer away and watch the game.

[Aggies7]

Too bad we didn’t use an opener.

Now I’m sure Rocco will yank him because WHAT IF 

[Western SD Fan]

Festa should just hide from Rocco and run out there when the inning ends.  Make Rocco go get him off the mound.

I hope Rocco "bullpen burner" Baldelli isnt going to pull Festa after 5

I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that.

[ziggy]

now if only we can avoid the double play.......

[Ottomatic1990]

Festa only 51 pitches through 4 innings, nice! 🙂 

[Doc Lenz]

Castro was a replacement All Star. Glad he was there but calling him an “All Star” is like calling me a McDonald’s All American because I eat there every day.

[Parfigliano]

Wheels Castro

[Parfigliano]

Contact probably a run

[IndyTwinsFan]

They're going to need to extend Festa at some point.  Why not tonight, with his pitch count reasonable and clearly pitching well?

[Aggies7]

First pitch to Lee was 8” outside called a strike 

[Patzky]

That's a beautiful inning by the Twins

[IndyTwinsFan]

Lee!  Again!

[Parfigliano]

Lee is becoming a reliable young bat

It's amazing how well small ball works if you let it.

[Patzky]

This game is proceeding similar to yesterday so far.

[Doc Lenz]

Who’s coaching first?

lee should be at second Castro was a replacement All Star. Glad he was there but calling him an “All Star” is like calling me a McDonald’s All American because I eat there every day.

[Parfigliano]

Bust this nut open right now
