Mick with one heck of a Houdini act so far. Twins need some runs...

[Patzky]

Ok he's on a bit of a roll here, pitch count up some but after the last two starts, Abel is doing alright.

[Peter]

Whew!!! Nervous moments!!! Able hanging tough!!!

I'd trust a liner to Buck to become an out more than I'd trust a grounder to Lee or Royce.

Josh bell!!!! Let’s go!!!

[Patzky]

Wallner thinks he's Willi going after that pitch.

[Patzky]

Woof ump is having a getaway day too.

Bell since last July has been hitting the crap out of the ball.   That $7 million contract is looking like a steal.  

[Chris Hove]

Josh Bell is swinging a hot bat right now!!!!!

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Make 'em pay, Royce.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Defense matters. Tigers have saved two runs thus far.

GOOD CHALLENGE BY Carantini ,

[Doctor Gast]

Great game for Able to grow. Keep it going & let's get some insurance runs 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

I wonder if he comes out for the 6th...

Great work, Abel. way to settle down and get some much-needed outs. Let's get some runs now.

[Peter]

Keep able in!!! He’s shutting tigers down-need to get few more runs!!!

[mrtwinsfan]

with the shape of this Pen,   gotta give Able the 6th to start anyway,  But now the real game begins and its  Scary

Shelty has a decision to be sure. Third time through. Heart of their order. Pitch count is rising. Bullpen is gassed though and is no sure thing obviously. Best thing to happen is the Twins put up a crooked number in this inning.

Based on what's available in the bulpen, I'm fine leaving him out there to get through the 6th and getting through the end of the order if he's reasonably efficient (He's at 85 pitches at the moment)

Looking at Rogers...Acton...Orze.

Oof!

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

I'll say it again. Outman is so due.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Or not. JFC this guy.
