Larnach flashing some wheels on the base path.

Great job by Larnach drawing the walk.  A great job by Lauer as well in giving the Jays some length after the disastrous 3rd inning.

It's important for a starter to be able to relieve himself on the mound rather than ask someone in the bullpen to help.

Is that Shelton making such a distinction?

Highly respectable response.

Somebody (still) needs to find a batting helmet that fits Lee’s noggin.

If kriedler is playing, he should be at short. I really don't get this at all. Lee will not be the shortstop once they promote Culpeper.... It's not like you are hurting Lee's development at this point. 

Culpepper is not better defensively than Lee, so I wouldn't be sure Lee is moving off short long-term

I don't believe that's an established fact.

Martin always seems to take quality at-bats. I think that he should be in the starting lineup almost every day for the Twins. 

[Patzky]

Amazingly Keaschall and Jeffers have no hits between them.

From Minor League stats, Culpepper is Worse, and not just a bit worse.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen the Twins wear their red tops this year, either.

Is that Shelton too?  hmm... 🤨

Obviously Culpepper could improve, but at this point he's behind Lee defensively, and I don't know a single scout who thinks otherwise.

Ryan is dealing

[Permanent Twins Fan]

I would guess Ryan is probably done?

[RpR]

Maybe Royce should take a whole month off after watching Kreidler make that play.

Not sure. But he can play D!! What a play.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Find out soon enough...

[Twindy]

Kriedler throwing some leather!

Not sure, but he made two outs in the field today that are base hits with any other Twin at third base. Defense matters.

I could have seen him going batter by batter into the 8th, but it appears like he is done.

[Patzky]

Joe just Joeing

[Permanent Twins Fan]

Now might be a good time for Morris to get a taste of big league action.

As advertised

I'm going to apologize in advance for being political, but I want to ask a question.  Is anyone else seeing a commercial with Tucker Carlson?  I'm just surprised that it would be on a Twins broadcast is all.  The views on Tucker doesn't matter, it just surprises me that such a commercial would be on.

Depending what station you are watching, right now, there are often commericials for people/concerns you are surprised to see one for.

Funderburk making his 9th appearance in 15 games.

[tony&rodney]

Makes sense that the Twins go to the bullpen here. I'm just wishing (against all evidence) that starting pitchers get to 110 pitches when they are rolling. However, it is a long ass season and with a 7-2 lead it makes sense to trust the pen for 6 outs. 

Big shutdown outing for Ryan after the early 2 run Homer. Ryan is an ace.

[RpR]

Speaking of bat speed , if he had the must ballyhooed bat speed, that would have been an out.
