Wow. And Jeffers

[Permanent Twins Fan]

So after a 25 pitch inning, we follow it up by forcing Mahle to throw a grand total of 13 pitches in the next 2 innings. Nice

The Braves lack of defensive agreement tonight is delightful

Twins hitters are doing an experiment. Starting with the last game against Philly, they decided to see how many runs they needed to give their pitchers in the first inning or two to see what the minimum would be that would hold up. Five didn’t but four did so they’re trying two tonight.

The third baseman is playing SS.

Any kind of hard bunt towards 3rd is a guaranteed hit.

Zero risk. Foul ball is strike 1.

[Church of Kreidler]

I hate to say it, but Zebby's doing well so far tonight!

When the 3Bman is playing where the SS normally plays I wouldnt mind Larnach trying to drop one down the 3B line

[Church of Kreidler]

I had my fingers crossed they were going to screw it up again... Clearly my witchcraft is wearing off.

[Patzky]

How long since we stole a base? I know it's Josh Bell.. but to force the issue..

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Making it too easy on Mahle. Make the guy throw some pitches.

Again. Jeezus.

[SE23]

That pitch down and away is death for Royce

[HarmonK03]

The Twins are seeing how fast they can complete the game, maybe they think there won't be enough time for Atlanta to catch up.
