[Mahukey]

Hey, nice to see Punto again, as long he is on the other side.

[J-Dog Dungan]

Hope the bullpen can hold up for DeVries; they have been f%%%ing him over in his last five starts.

[Alex]

Better get it done with the first five tonight...though I like Caroll for a big hit.

[JB_Iowa]

Wow, from that list they just showed on FSN, one can only conclude that there is great pitching in the A.L. Central ...blech.

[USAFChief]

LNP still likes to get his uniform dirty.

[GCTF]

Twins Baseball inning...2 infield hits and a throwing error on a pick off attempt to score a run.

[USAFChief]

Would it kill Mauer to turn on a pitch once a month or so?

[USAFChief]

Twins Baseball inning...2 infield hits and a throwing error on a pick off attempt to score a run.

Don't forget the throw going off the runner on the second infield hit.

[J-Dog Dungan]

How often does it happen that there are two errors by the pitcher trying to pick off two different runners?

[Riverbrian]

Why Willingham here? You need a single not home run. Save Willingham for Casilla and Carroll. Let Mastrionni hit here.

[Riverbrian]

And it's a bad Defensive move.

I'm scratching my head over that decision as well. Maybe Mastrionni shouldn't be batting 6th if he needs to be pinch hit for in that situation.

[USAFChief]

Bases loaded, nobody out, 4-5-6 hitters up. I guess we should be happy they got a run out of it.

[snepp]

Well that sucked.


Sincerely,

Captain Obvious

[USAFChief]

Well, poop.

[snepp]

Well, poop.

I concur.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

On the bright side, the Twins have Casilla, Dozier, and Carroll due up in the 9th. All hope is not lost!

[JB_Iowa]

And it's a bad Defensive move.

Didn't really matter though ... pretty sure that home run would have been over every left fielders head.

I guess you have your answer as to why Mastro was in the 6 hole.
