Polanco works the count full, then grounds to second.

 

Same as Florimon's last at bat.¹

 

¹ If my wish is granted.

No first hit for Polanco, unfortunately. Nice that he's getting into games though.

 

Will he play shortstop in the 9th in place of Florimon? Or will there be some juggling of the infielders?

um, juggling... i was critical of that word some time ago...

The Twins just cannot keep bringing in the relief staff in the 5th and 6th inning every game! The bullpen has been one of the few positives this year, but it's eventually going to bite them. The last trip through the starting rotation has yielded no quality starts. Somebody needs to step up.......

Nice to see Mauer's BA start to climb. I wish it wasn't at the expense of everyone else on the team

I see we're back to the Hyde version of the 2014 Twins' Jekyll & Hyde routine.

 

Run off and Hyde, judging by this game thread.

 

Except, there is no run, so far.

"Rearuggling?"

This appears to be Brains rubber band hanging by a thread.

Exactly!

There are three certainties in life, death, taxes, and the Twins woes can always be traced back to Mauer.

This is a game I thought the Twins would win, but the magical Nick Tepesch is shutting them down. Tomorrow they get Yu in midafternoon, should be fun.

 

I'm looking forward to the pitching matchup tomorrow. Hughes/Darvish sounds a lot better than Correia/Tepesch. (I have tix for the game, so it had better be better.)

Ed: Yada yada yada, oh magnificent one, yada yada hermetically sealed envelope, yada yada

 

Carnac: (holds envelope to head) Morales' uniform, halftime at the Super Bowl, and Brian's rubber band.

 

Ed: yada yada

 

Carnac: Name three things stretched to the limit.

Meanwhile, don't look now, but Morales's deadline trade value is surely dropping like a rock.

What I meant was, it would be better to have Mauer's hitting improve AND the rest of the team hit well, rather than Mauer's hitting improve OR the rest of the team perform well.

 

I don't really think it's Mauer's fault the hitting has been so terrible when he starts clicking

Well, that hasn't worked, has it?

yes - I really did not think you personally blamed Mauer - I was making a fairly weak joke.

Ok rook, let see what ya got

Just skipped under the charging 3B's glove.

Fun fact: the second youngest player in the majors grounded out to the youngest player in the majors in the 8th inning.
