We got a bullpen game tomorrow, Bradley needs to give them at six tonight.  If he can't figure out where his pitches are going, it will be tough.

Might take 120 pitches from Taj tonight to reach that destination…

Now I could get on board with an exploration of a Bell trade after that game tying shot. Maybe we could get a Hoey.

Or at least Brendan Harris' squirrel.

[Patzky]

Long as we hold them to one run and inning we might lose 9-8

Taj Banda

[Western SD Fan]

That was a shaky route by Larnach.  I'm just glad it didn't go out because that is what it looked like off the bat.

[MMMordabito]

Something about Kerry Carpenter that I can't stand. 

Oh yeah, 1.037 OPS against the Twins, and he's always seemed a bit smug about it.

okay mr Boras !!   until he learns to lay off those pitches that are a foot of the plate , there gonna keep tempting him , ,  i want him to be the Player we all thought  -  No narrative here !!

I want him gone

[h2oface]

There’s the walk scoring. Riley not fulfilling the Twins’ defensive shift and hitting hard to left both at bats. What will we do next next one? 

[Vanimal46]

I get that Morneau is searching for content to talk about. But Larnach has played LF in this park more often than other places in his career. It’s not like this is a shock to the system. He’s really emphasizing how big this OF is to cover…

[Chris Hove]

Does anyone think Taj has been tipping his pitches?

We found our next Andrew Benintendi for the next 8-10 years? Cool cool cool 

[Patzky]

Jeez our guys. Varland gave up the lead and Duran is on now trying to close out Toronto  looks like he's gonna blow it too 

[Patzky]

Who's gonna hit the HR this time?

[Twindy]

Lead off walk score 58% of the time.  

[thelanges5]

Sometimes they look pretty good and sometimes I wonder how they’ve won any games at all.

The curveball to Dingler he hung though.  

Like Ribbentrop and Keitel.

Al Newman. He's been due forever.

Taj doesn't even know where his pitches are going, so I am not sure if he is tipping his pitches it would be helpful.

Looking at Gameday on mlb.com, the pitch on which Lewis was "protecting the plate" was 4-6 inches outside.  Big plate that.

Does that include when we take walks? How do you look that up?

Leadoff single in an inning scores 37.7% of the time. 

[Vanimal46]

The Twins didn’t bring Lewis back up to hit grounders in the IF

I'm sure that is league average just like it was league average to score between 2-3 runs with the bases loaded and nobody out.  With the Twins, the disclaimer always is "Results May Vary".

Heard the one for walks on the minor league game that was being covered before the Twins game started. And then I just googled the one for a single. Interesting difference between the two.

[thelanges5]

Melton only had to throw 11 pitches to get through that inning.

Just divide by 4

We still have time to send him down so he can get a spot on the Triple-A All-Star team.
