    Not a great play by Cave there, yikes. This game looking iffy.....c'mon Duff man.

    Adrianza just CRUSHED that ball. Wow!

    Fun to watch Gaterol today! And great to see the Twins put up a 5-spot and have a pitcher in there who can protect the lead and get the job done. Big Mike Pineda, as has been said by just about everyone, is rising to the top of the rotation. Last seven starts, 5-0 with a 3.48 ERA. The Twins are in the home stretch and he is delivering.

    He doesn't have options so they can't send him down. Twins have tried other guys like Smelzer, Stewart, etc and they haven't worked out. They didn't trade for a starter at the deadline. In short, Perez is there to eat innings much like a Hector Santiago is - except Perez plays on a team that needs him to be good. It's a really bad situation that's been festering since June. Front office is whistling in the dark.

    LOL, didn't read that. Although, there are places in Latin America that just take you back in time.....metaphorically, anyway.

    A Rays sweep while the Twins sweep the Tigers (keeping fingers crossed) would be so gigantic. Right now I'd even be happy if the Twins just won their next two games, regardless of what Cleveland does. Would love to see that lead grow to 6-7 as the Twins enter the next 1.5 weeks of the schedule.

    Dude I have a sinking feeling the Twins are going to break the record when you're "out-of-office"...crazy timing, eh? Then again, if you're in a country where you're not sure about the Internet access, I'm guessing you're hitting up the Caribbean or Mexico or something. And so we can't feel toooo sorry for you.

    Twins will be fortunate to get out of the 2nd inning with the lead. After scoring 6 runs. Against Detroit.

    A sweep plus Cleveland dropping 2-of-3 in Tampa would be huge at this point in the season. I'd hate to ride into Cleveland thinking that the Tribe could sweep the series and put the Twins back into the perilous WC chase. I don't think the Twins are out of the woods by any means. I know a flight to Cleveland is looming but I sure hope Rocco and the boys take these next few games as seriously as they've taken any all season.

    Agreed. Those who claim "BUT HIS DEFENSE" are assuming that Buxton is somehow saving 1-2 runs per game. This is a fantasy. We want to believe it, because we are Buxton fans and Twins fans. But that doesn't make it so. Buxton is not a hockey goalie. That said, what's impressed me the most this year is that his bat has come around. I'm totally fine with him batting .264, among the league leaders in doubles and steals. If you combine those stats with his above average defense, you've got yourself a nice starting outfielder. And at this point, that's all we should hope for with Buxton. Polanco is younger than Buxton and has accomplished far more than Buxton has if you compare their careers. It's time to admit that Buxton will probably never live up to the hype, and we should be happy if we can get a few injury-free years of solid ball from him. Just like many here, he's probably my favorite player to root for. But we have to start adjusting our expectations, and face the reality that he might not be that special after all.

    Jose Berrios with a quality start! Great news, right? "Nah, it's against the White Sox". Bullpen throws 3 shutout innings against same White Sox: "Bullpen is good now! Tyler Duffey is better than Aroldis Chapman, why isn't anyone talking about him!??!" Hmmmm. I think Berrios did fine. Might be a sign of improvement, dude got a much needed win and hopefully this is the start of him turning the corner. You have to be encouraged.

    Two runs have been scored on Wild Pitches, for what it's worth. Dude's also thrown 4 WPs (another just now). Seems OK for the most part, but he's a bit off still.

    Dick just said "Last year on August 29th, the Twins were 62-70". Yeesh, it seems like a zillion years ago. Paul Molitor at helm in a lame duck year, not a memorable time to be a fan for sure.

    Romo's been pretty good. Gotta admit that something about him throwing in those 80 MPH frisbees makes me very nervous. Can't argue with results though!
  16. bighat
    I think playing Chicago and Detroit for 2 straight weeks might be giving us rose-colored glasses. I feel pretty good about Rogers, Romo, and Dyson. I know Duffey and May have turned a corner, but the thought of them entering a playoff game against Hou/NYY/Cle with runners on base in a close game makes me shiver. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to see these numbers and I think things are improving. Thanks for sharing this cool report!

    I completely agree. Assuming that Larnach, Rooker, etc are going to put up Eddie Rosario-type numbers is delusional. About 30 out of 1000 highly touted prospects become regular every-day players. You have guys like Arraez who come out of nowhere and are great, then you have #1-rated farm system guys who simply can't put it together at the MLB level. Trading prospects might indeed be the way to go, depending on how this team does in the postseason (if they get there).

    Best part was Sano was actually stepping out of the box, then just said "ahhh screw it" and stepped back in and swung. Honestly looked like a play you'd see in a sandlot or whiffle ball game.
  19. bighat
    Cron a tough-luck 0-2.
  20. bighat
    Bizarre RBI single there by Sano! Edit: RBI ground ball.
  21. bighat
    Nice RBI, Eddie again!
  22. bighat
    There we go Jonathan Schoop!!!!!
  23. bighat
    Wow, incredible catch there from Garcia.
  24. bighat
    Eddie! Eddie! Base rap!
  25. bighat
    Jake taking 2 minutes between pitches. Unwatchable.
