It's nice to play teams that also make dumb mistakes.

Worst case scenario.. who's the callup for Buck if he goes on IL? They'll wait a few days like they always do and we'll play shorthanded. Wallner is the automatic candidate, Gonzalez also, but I'd love to see Mendez. 

Mendez and Gonzalez are on the 40 man.  Fedko is not.  Wallner certainly has not deserved a chance to come back up yet.

Mendez has been sharp.. and Gonzalez was up in the Red Sox series.

Loves company.

Wow a four pitch inning for Wacha. You're welcome.

[LakesPibble]

4 pitch inning.  smh

[Patzky]

Saints pitching tanking tonight. Lewis making some plays.. 

[Blyleven2011]

Twins need to score , don't think 1 run will win this 

[Patzky]

Not much in the bullpen cupboard after last night. There are guys I sure don't want to see again tonight..

In fairness to Castro, he is more a bulk/reliever guy, not a starter.

To be even more fair, he’s more of a AA guy, not AAA.

[Patzky]

Funderburk getting roughed up again. I hoped he might be useful after the end of last year, he had an effective stretch. Not so sure anymore.

[Over The Hill Again]

Awesome K!  I hold my breath every time Witt bats against us…..

[Patzky]

That's was a great inning by Zebby. Looks like he got his pitches where he wanted them. Nice work

Nobody stops my breathing like Jose Ramirez. Our division is growing new respiratory threats too

75 pitches.  Getting closer to that elusive quality start.  Far cry from what was proclaimed earlier in this game.

He's holding up his end of the deal, his teammates need to carry the rest of the load and plate some runs!

That's how pitchers get right when facing this team...

Yeah I sure am glad he wasn’t DFA’d in the middle of the 2nd inning tonight. 

[Peter]

Need runs!!! 

[krink]

Kriedler looks good in Center tonight!

We should definitely try to score more runs than the Royals.

[mnfireman]

Zebby with a 6 pitch inning, might get another IP out of him tonight....

Zebby is one of the best pitchers tonight  , not sure everyone  agrees though ...

[krink]

Brooks lookin’ beautiful!

[Western SD Fan]

A quality start!  Now with 81 pitches thrown, do they dare let him go out for the 7th?  I was going to say yes, but with two lefties coming up and now a tie game from LEE!!  Maybe they try to bring in the lefty Banda or Rogers for the 7th.
