I like Tommy Milone. Guy really knows how to pitch. I hope the Twins are smart enough to keep him around. Don't be fooled by the modest velocity. He keeps hitters off balance as well as anybody else on this staff. Not exactly the "comfortable collar." He misses bats a bit more than that. Also very good at holding runners on first.

Gameday had the Final Vote ad - gotta go #VoteDozier, brb.

Works.

Nice baserunning!  Sano single to right, Plouffe goes to third as does the throw, and Sano takes 2nd.

great baserunning all around!

Beautiful base running boys!  

Did Jones just pull a groin on that slip? He looks distinctly uncomfortable. I don't ever wish injuries on the opposition. I hope he's okay.

Not watching the game, just listening, but seems like a good time to submit that I really, REALLY like Gene Glynn as 3rd base coach.

Wow! Head's up running by Plouffe, and then by Sano!! Everybody safe, Sano at second!

Looks like they were testing to see if Sano had a hole in his swing on the outside edge. Guess not!

Damnit, Torii.  0-2, stranded 5 out there already.

Yup ... caught the replay ...

Hunter pops up. One wonders what Oswaldo Arcia would have done in that spot, with Rosario batting second...

The Twins have had a base runner on 3rd in every inning so far.  It's just a matter of time before one gets home.

c'mon Eddie . . . hang in there..

Rosario needs to learn to lay off the high heat, quit climbing the ladder. He seems vulnerable to up and down pitches. Gotta narrow that zone, baby. Take some walks.

Crap, little infield pop-up that Jimenez catches with his back to the plate.  If that dropped everyone would have been safe.  5 LOBs for Torii and Eddie through 3.  Brutal.

O's bullpen is pretty good - hope the Twins can find the plate soon or they'll run out of these scoring opportunities.

Damn, Ubaldo is playing with fire today but the Twins can't seem to strike. 

poop x 3.

 

Helped you out there, Chief. 

Gameday says Pearce Tripled on a line drive to the SS. What really happened?

Damn. Rosario needs to get choosier, take some walks. Sure he's got great hands, but that doesn't mean you try to hit everything in the same area code as the plate.

 

Great hands, yes Eddie, but you're not Vlad Guerrero!

If Rosario hustles back to get that ball they might get him at 3rd there.

Off the top of the wall.  Rosario leaped but whiffed on it and bounced back to mid-LF where Santana came in and got it and threw to third.

Jiminez keeps flirting with disaster and the Twins aren't getting the job done.

Off the top of the wall.  Rosario made an attempt at it, but it bounced so far back that Santana went out and got it and was a little late and wide with the throw to 3rd.

Ah - ok. I imagined some kind of ridiculous comedy of errors in which a liner tipped off Santana's glove and resulted in Steve Pearce chugging to third base... that makes a bit more sense.

Orioles up 1-0 on a run-scoring double play.

Sigh, I guess you settle for trading two outs for a run there...

I'll take that 11 times out of 10.
