Yeah....this isn't an overreaction at all

Wow, 1st extra base hit from a lefty given up by Rogers since 2017, that's damn impressive.

3rd appearance in 7 days....is that really over working?

He only threw 21 pitches last night and hadn't pitched before that since the 18th. 2 on, none out, 8th inning in a 3 run game...I have no problem with them going with Taylor here.

#BOMBAS!!!!

Hypothetically speaking, you toss Berrios in Games 2 and 5 in the 1st series and win the series. You go into the next series with your best pitcher in line to pitch not until Game 3 and only twice in the series IF it goes 7 games. IMO don't go by SSS in playoff series. Play your best.

Sources say....

I don't get it. Was he really that upset over the Rosario...maybe he was out of the box on his bunt attempt? Pick your battles man. I've always respected Cora, but he was PISSED, like someone stole snack pack or something

oooooooooooooo!

He lost his **** after the game.

Anyone who catches 17 innings deserves my praise....though being picked off third still rattles my cage a bit

For all the **** we give the bullpen: 11 IP, 12H, 2ER, 1BB, 12K. Hats off to a gutsy ass performance from 8 different guys And how about Max? 3/5 with a game tying tying hit in the 8th, a game tying HR in extras and then game winning single in a game he didn't start!!

Man the Twins have had their chances their last 2 games. Berrios looked downright amazing. The Red Sox record won't show it, but that is a star studded lineup that Jose toyed with all night. The way he blew Betts away with that 95 MPH heater in the 8th...... !!! He looks like a true ace out there. I really think what Jake has doing is overshadowing Berrios, but he is putting together a damn fine season. I have to give my hat off to Porcello as well. I have never thought extremely high of him, but he was on point last night. He rarely ever got behind, he rarely ever left anything over the heart of the plate and frustrated our guys all night. One of the only mistakes he did make, Cron crushed 410 feet and missed tying the game by mere feet, that goes over the fence, the whole outcome changes. If anyone should watch him pitch, it should be Kyle Gibson. I'd like to rag on Parker, but my real question is why wasn't it May or Duffy in that situation? You want to keep the game close and you are facing the heart of the Boston order.....get someone who can strike someone out. Parker did give up the two doubles, but it was two all star caliber players....he just isn't who I would have up there. I think the bats are pressing a little bit. Some pretty huge swings early on the count on not great pitches. I think that tends to happen when the team slumps a little bit. It was bound to happen, let's just hope they relax a little and break out of the funk soon.

This place gets a little toxic after things don't go our way for a bit. Cron hits that ball a foot futher we have a whole different ball game.

Leake isn't an improvement on anyone in the Twins rotation. Super soft tosser who has been fairly lucky this season.

They took on $8 ish total. Half of what he was owed for the rest of this season, and will be on the hook for his $5M buyout next year, unless they exercise the $20M team option.

Why thanks. I've been lurking a bit. My golf game is a lot worse than the Twins are playing today.

This didn't age well

First and foremost I would like to wish a Happy Father's day to all the dads out there, including my own! I am not a father, but what a great day it is. Not only do the best team in baseball go for a sweep of the Royals today, we get Sunday at Pebble Beach for the US Open Crown. Golf has been a past time with my father and we will be hitting the links this afternoon with Twins game on the radio. I hope all of you get to spend some time with your fathers today, or with your kids and make some long lasting memories today. In a favorite film of mine, Little Big League, when the front office is talking about letting Billy the kid manager the ballclub, they utter the line, "It's only June and people are already starting to talk about gopher football." I had a friend yesterday, who is a Seattle Mariners fan, tell me that the first Preseason game is in less than 2 months. Most years I would be already starting to gloss over the NFL mentally preparing for fantasy football. Looking at the Vikes schedule and day dreaming about a 12+ win season. What a difference it makes actually watching a damn good baseball team is! The overall general buzz and actually looking forward to adding talent at the deadline. It's the middle of June and our Twins are 25 games over .500 and have an 11 game lead in the AL Central. I know we all know the numbers, but sit back and let it sink in. It is the earliest in team history to 25 games over .500, just wow. The Twins will send lefty Martin Perez to the bump who is looking for his 1st win since May 23rd, while the Royals will send out Jake Junis, who is 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA in 5 career starts against the Twins. Buxton will get today off recovering from the wrist injury, meanwhile after some challenges out in the field the last few days, Cron gets the day off too with Adrianza getting the start at 1st.

Chicken dinner.
