Damn we need to score about 8 more with Gulf of warming. Rocco still doing his 5 and fly nonsense with the season lost. Will be so happy when someone else is calling the shots from the dugout 

What are you talking about? Matthews is close to 100 pitches, it's the third time thru the order, and they are up 5. 

[Aggies7]

I’m trying to run through the excuses some have given for Rocco’s quick hook to try and make sense of it. 86 pitches, not too many. We’ve miraculously scored 6 runs, can’t be that. The season is lost, can’t be that. What else

Yup.  They are wearing him out out there.  His @$$ goes one way, and his bat the other.  He can't seem to figure that out.

Tigers radio calling it on Wallner, too- The whole league is throwing the fastball high and outside, and he's waving at it.  These guys are really sharp, great insights.  Heh, listening on the mlbapp while i try to clean up storm damage on my rooftop! 😅

Wallner with an OPS over 800 and a wrc+ over 125, and he's bad? Do I have that right?

Have a game Max Kepler.  Harrison who?

We miss Bader in center field, no way to ignore that.

86 isn’t particularly close. Don’t GAF about third time through. Tonkin isn’t good any time through the order. Yes, a 5 run lead is the perfect time to let him go another inning.

What i miss?

Maybe some other time. I think he and Buck had a nice vibe.

Also the perfect time to stretch Tonkin as the bottom of lineup is due up. He should come out for the 7th.

Anyone know the plan for tomorrow? Ohl, maybe, to start?

[Blyleven2011]

I can't believe that I just seen tonkin pitch the sixth inning , Rocco why didn't you save him for the closer roll ....     🤣

 Why not..

I didn't see this mentioned about Paddack's quote to the Detroit press. He ripped the Twins' facilities, stating Detroit's are "amazing" compared to the Twins

Well for today, the Twins won the Paddock trade.

[Patzky]

Ok Austin time to get back into the swing of things.

Michael Tonkin is 35 years old, bad, and has zero future with the twins. And tomorrow’s starter is TBD

I'm guessing rubber arm TBD steps up to start

Kind of forced the Walk-ner. Let's cash in.

[Doc Lenz]

Hitters that wear pads to bat should have to keep them on to run bases.

What he really meant is that he likes how much further back the fences are at comerica, didn’t help tonight though 

[RpR]

Detroits catcher looks like he is 40 years old.

[Parfigliano]

Does the Det P and C talking during this break count as a mound visit?

[SS MagicMark]

Pinch umpire.

They're cancelling the Domino's post game order

Mrs Chief and I took a Caribbean cruise last winter. One of our favorite things to do was visit little cafés in the ports we stopped at. We'd go just for dessert.

I had apple pie in the Bahamas for $6, blueberry pie in Jamaica for $8, and pecan pie in Puerto Rico for only $5.

Yes, my friends...those are the pie rates of the Caribbean.
