Fifth straight appearance for Burton without walking someone or giving up a run.

I like Escobar at the bottom of the lineup so far. Sometimes it means Dozier gets to bat with guys on base. A refreshing change after a month+ of Hicks and Florimon.

You there, Mauer, hit a homerun.

Kudos for suppressing the memory of Chris Hermann.

You there, Plouffe, don't hit into a double play.

Just like mauer to draw a walk instead of hitting a HR

C'mon Plouffe!

What's more exciting than a walk?

I appreciate that you have different demands/expectations for each hitter.

Nor a triple play. (As much as i like to see them from an anomaly stand point)

I give up. What is more exciting than a walk?

Hey Plouffe, when he calls that pitch a strike the first time, you need to swing the next two times he throws it there (even if it was a ball all three times).

Last pitch to PLouffe was a foot and a half outside. How in the world is that a strike.

Can't wait for Willingham or Arcia to get back. Or for Gardy to realize that you can have Suzuki catch and Pinto DH.

Pinto ties the game!

Peeento.

Rajai ties the game!

 

ftfy.

A tie is nice, but score that go-ahead run!

Yeah Nune......oh.

And Nunez gives us a winnable game.

Is there any doubt that the call-ups are better hitters than the guys sent down (and Hicks)?

The lead, Twins have it.

Well how about that.

ftfy.

 

Thanks, i needed that.

 

(At least give Rajai an assist. Too be technically correct (the best kind) Mauer scores the run, so does he tie the game? Note to self: in future, the Twins tie the game... unless of course that's trademark infringement?)

Fien keeps drawing the short end of the lineup stick

Fien gets Torii, Miggy and V-Mart, Perk gets the bottom of the order. Sounds fair enough.

I no longer have to hope for the HBP or catchers interference. (did not include error as that would require contact between bat and ball).

Worked Friday night.

Well, if the Twins keep the lead this half inning, it will be an accomplishment.

Gardy's nothing if not conventional and driven by meaningless stats
