    3 hits and a walk in an inning and they only send five guys to the plate and only one run.

    Why Eddie?

    Last chance for any game thread fans to volunteer to do an introduction to a game thread. Our current volunteers are doing a great job, but we continue to look for new perspectives and to give anyone willing to volunteer a chance to set the tone for a game or games. If anyone new is interested, please send me a message or reply on this thread. I will have a schedule done today and there will only be a few open dates.

    The Twins had a good chance tonight against Bieber. It would have been nice to go up 2-0 against their closest pursuer, but the baseball gods usually even things out. They were quite fortunate to hold on the night before, so going 1-1 with Berríos on the hill for the rubber match seems about right.

    For tonight, Romo, Clippard, Rogers and May are out, Thielbar, Wisler and Poppen, along with Alcala should be good to go. Duffey hasn't pitched in two days either. If Dick Mountain gives the Twins five innings, they should be good to get through the game. Columbe and Smeltzer also should be available, so having all of the pitchers seems to be the right thing to do.

    They'l leave Cleveland in first place, or at least tied. Two games to play to win a game and win their fourth consecutive series. It hasn't always been pretty (tonight wasn't) but they are doing enough to win.
  7. stringer bell
    13 hits in Rogers' last 6.1 innings. I don't think that can be explained away on bad luck.
  8. stringer bell
    Strike 2 and 3 to Allen were nice pitches. I didn't think Romo threw many other tough pitches.
  9. stringer bell
    Too bad on the Santana at-bat, but May has gotten away with some bad pitches.
  10. stringer bell
    They should have a lot of guys ready to pitch tomorrow (Alcala, Smeltzer, Poppen,Wisler, Duffey), but they're short today. May is in now, Romo and Rogers will probably pitch today if the Twins have the lead, but then they probably couldn't pitch tomorrow.

    Anxiety filled bottom of the sixth. Thielbar gets the job done. Yes, with all the pitchers used yesterday and Maeda only going 5, the Twins are a bit hemmed in.
  12. stringer bell
    Opposite field hits continue.
  13. stringer bell
    Except for the Santana plate appearance, I think Kulpa has been better than most calling balls and strikes.
  14. stringer bell
    Both Twins hits have gone the opposite way. I know this goes against the current philosophy of hitting, but sometimes going with the pitch is a good strategy.

    Hey everyone, there’s a game on!
  16. stringer bell
    Eddie not running hard on a pop up.
  17. stringer bell
    What I’ve seen is real inconsistency by the live umps and makes the players have no idea whether the borderline low/high/inside/outside pitch will be called a strike. If an ump is consistent giving or taking a couple inches, the players can adjust, if he’s not, it’s a crapshoot.

    Ian Miller recalled by the Cubs.

    Brian Navarreto, who was in the Twins' organization for six years is being promoted to the majors by Miami. Also Sean Gilmartin was DFAed by the Rays, while they placed Nick Anderson in the IL. None of these three every played a major league game for the Twins, but were in their organization.

    I don't know if it is the weird season or something else, but the ball and strike calls seem to have been dreadful this year. The Twins have had the Jerry Meals crew for seemingly half of their games (or more) and maybe they are substandard. Meals himself had one of the worst games this year, perhaps ever IMHO. Hickox (sp) last night was really bad too. ONTH I recall two games that were excellent. One was by the tall rookie ump in the Meals crew and the other was a young ump, perhaps Hispanic, I can't remember his name.
  21. stringer bell
    Still need nine outs. Let's go!
  22. stringer bell
    I was about to criticize all the moves so early in the game, but it looks like this was the key inning. I tend to worry about going to the second of two catchers, I guess that's the Gardy in me.
  23. stringer bell
    Miguel Sanó earning his paycheck!
  24. stringer bell
    They could move Marwin to left and keep Adrianza in the game at third base.
  25. stringer bell
    C'mon Marwin!
