there is  an inbetween mode

I know. I actually agree with some of the games lately and leaving guys in too long. Just funny to think about broadly

[AceBee]

Still 3 innings to go

[HarmonK03]

Another team doing the unthinkable, pinch hitting their second catcher without a third catcher on the bench.  And here I thought the Twins had the smartest front office in the league.

Would have liked to see a couple runs in the last two innings for insurance. 3 run lead doesn't feel safe vs. the Padres.

its the Twins-    have zero killer in them

[Western SD Fan]

Nice play by Culpepper! Weaseled out of that trap!

[Aggies7]

Culpepper has shown much better defense after his first few game jitters 

[Twindy]

Nice play KC!

[SS MagicMark]

Hell of a play by KC. Wanted to go to 3rd, but Lee wasn't there, so gunned the batter down at 1st instead. 

[90stwinskid]

What a throw by Culpepper. Been a minute since we had SS with an arm like that.

[Saxophone Joe]

As the lone Tristan Gray guy *ducks tomatoes * wow! great play/throw by Culpepper!

[SS MagicMark]

Juuuuust a bit high. Tried the top of the zone and missed. 

[SE23]

Royce LOVES that low outside pitch on the black

[Saxophone Joe]

I can not figure out Royce Lewis. 

[Western SD Fan]

I think it took longer to get off the field than the Twins' AB's in that inning.

He also loves it on the white…the chalk of the left hand batters box

That pitch was in the zone and would have been a strike.  He has been laying off the low outside pitch better, that pitch was not outside but he did go with the pitch.

And he loves to try to pull it down the 3B line

[S Bart]

Sox, Rangers, Tigers lost

That batting ave of .324 and OPS of .867 in August, but Lewis hasn't helped at all.  Don't think it is reasonable to compare current production to Buxton and Larnach.

Varland gave up a leadoff double to the yanks but got the next 3 out to win by a run

But the last hit was to the right side, not sure how he pulled that one.

I'm watching on Gameday again, so I'm not seeing anything other than their cartoon rendition

And the pitch was in the lower half of the strike zone on Gameday.

[Aggies7]

Nothing worse than giving a freebie on catchers interference 

[Aggies7]

Just not going to be easy tonight is it. Morris been struggling
