No pressure kid, just bases-loaded, 9th inning stuff. -
Yeah me too. It wasn't really a high-pressure situation...but there was just enough meaning left in the game that Hildy could have felt good about holding the team down. Plus, it was the Royals. And the dude just collapsed, pretty sad. Seems like a good kid, too.

I think Rocco figured "well, it looks like we're going to lose - let's not burn any more good arms tonight". Rocco is pretty notorious for waving the white flag and hasn't been shy about it (last Sunday in Cleveland was a great example). He's also pinning his hopes on Philly holding on tonight. A Philly win is as good as a Twins win right now.
-
Looks like Hildy's not going to be a useful contributor to this team for the forseeable future. Too bad for the guy, hope he gets his mojo back and catches on somewhere else.
-
Those idiot fans touching fair balls should be booted immediately, FWIW. Can't have that happening if the Twins make the playoffs.
-
Brutal. C'mon, Philly. Hold on.
-
Castro with the base rap, OK we'll take it! Pinch runner incoming?
-
I was pretty sure I heard them boo Rosario his last AB when he came up and popped out on the 1st pitch with 2 on base and nobody out. Are Twins Daily posters infiltrating Target Field by the thousands or what?!?!
-
Let's get this lead back here boys!
-
WADE! WADE! WADE! He's awesome today!
-
At least we got Castro's bat out of the way for next inning.
-
WADE! BOMBA!
-
Great play Polanco!
-
Yeah. The Twins haven't exactly been breezing by KC with ease so far. It's been tough sledding to get these first 2 wins. Cleveland just needs to lose one freaking game here but they're just red hot. A lot of posters saying last week that "Cleveland has to go 11-2 to to have a chance", etc, etc....well, they look like they will go 11-2.

Drat, should have just let Soler take a whack at it. Walking guys ain't cool, Smeltz.
-
BIG MOMENT MARWIN!
-
Was reading Twitter and saw LaVelle mentioned Smelz was warming. Just assumed and I assumed quite incorrectly it turns out!

I have lots of connections to that area as well. Grew up on Irving Ave near Uptown in the late 70's all the way through the 80's. Went to Jefferson Elementary - not far from Liquor Lyle's, right across from what used to be an Ember's and a Burger King right there on Hennipen. I remember when Calhoun Square was built, it was supposed to be the next big thing...maybe now it's finally cool? Spent much of my youth riding my bike down to Lyndale & Lake to go to the "Grand Slam" baseball card store. Speaking of Franklin Ave, a great family friend of ours is the founder/owner of the Electric Fetus!
-
Didn't look like it to me. It was just a classic bloop hit - Soler's a power hitter and everyone was playing deep. Buxton at full speed might have caught it on a dive, but it really didn't appear to be a catchable ball for most OF.
-
Nice job, Randy Dobnak! Let's go D. Smelz, clean it up and keep the Royals off the board.
-
Coldest place on the planet, just ahead of Novosibirsk Russia in the latest rankings if I recall correctly. Luckily we're going through Houston this time. Quicker customs lines. Then connecting to Tampa for a beach week before heading back to MN.
-
Last weekend in Guatemala for a while. Next weekend I'm heading back to the USA for a month. Caught some nasty virus down here a couple weeks ago and I must admit I haven't quite bounced back. Had planned to come back to the USA anyway but now I've got to go see a doc upon arrival. Sucks but thanks to Twins baseball and this board, I have something to distract me while I deal with these lingering symptoms. Should find myself in Minnesota by October 6th, with any luck I'll be watching October Twins baseball while in the great state of MN!
-
Cron with some nice "D" today, like seeing him back there fielding his position well. Been a nice defensive player all year, really.
-
He did! To the tune of a triple, wow!
-
Unproductive out, Rosie.
