Not your fault. Gardy should have pulled Duensing sooner. Of course, lemon face would definitely have prevented the home run.

 

Or alternatively.............never put him in.

No doubt Gardy faces the same issues - Duensing's cruising along, Gardy goes into the clubhouse to get a frozen yogurt, and suddenly he hears yelling from the field and has to hurry (as fast as Gardy ever hurries) back to see what the ruckus is.

Bullpen's supposedly a strength of this 2013 squad. I wonder what Correia is muttering about this bullpen right now.

[twinsnorth49]

Trevor should get a TO on the bench for that at bat

Wooo, cheer!

When Arcia makes contact, it's usually loud.

Opposite field no less.....Arcia, 1 reason to keep watching

Self loathing being another.

It is apt. Along with poop on pumpernickel.

Are there stats for average game time, by team? Seems like our Twins must be somewhere among the leaders. Three hour mark, seventh inning - BORing.

Our offense usually compensates for it quite nicely.

Setting up an inning to strand multiple runners requires careful planning.

Going to the well once more with the Rally Avatar.

I'm watching the A's broadcast. They're in love with Pinto.

[twinsnorth49]

I think I am too.

[twinsnorth49]

Any guesses on how they escape this one without scoring?

Your Spanish lesson for today: Yo-smeel Peen-toe.

You forgot that the Rally Avatar was on duty.

Dougsie, you don't need to break up a double play when there is not going to be a double play.

Predicting a Dozier homer right now. Callin' it.

[Shane Wahl]

That works.

Almost as good. Now if we can get lemon face up this game is in the bag.

 

Edit -- lost track of the score -- need lemon face after Olivia brings us the lead.

I concede to the power of Olivia

[Shane Wahl]

Plouffe needed the bases empty there to do anything worthwhile. So . . . a strikeout instead. A RIDICULOUS strikeout, actually.

Note: also applies to Plouffe's AB.
