This Blue Jays offense is so freaking ridiculous, every guy is a threat to hit it out of the park on any bad pitch. It's going to be imperative that the Twins don't make mistakes in the field or walk guys this series.

The HR's will happen, hopefully most of them will be solo shots or 2 run dingers at worst.

 

Well... maybe not Revere.

Hunter with a HR.  That should piss a few posters off.

there are Jays' fans here? Otherwise, bunk. But whatever....

You let that SCRUB hit a HR off you?

i'm pretty sure somebody put the fork back in over the weekend. smart move.

Jack Goin ties it up for the Jays. Traitor.

Nah. The only way the Twins stay in it is if Hunter starts hitting again.

Glad to see Santana brought his D game today.

Walking Revere on 4 pitches?

Leads don't last long here.

a 4 pitch walk to Ben freakin' Revere?  Dammit Ervin.

And yes you post everyday you would cut him, it's not going to happen.

I'm not Mike, but if I were, I'd cut Mauer too.

Revere has to be on the short list of guys that it makes no sense to walk ever in any situation. The guy has singles power and nothing else. You are better off just putting one right down the middle and playing the percentages.

Hey, I have a great idea! Let's turn this into every other thread on the site, because some things just haven't been repeated enough times.

Like is said on every thread...

0 for 3 with RISP thus far.

I very much enjoyed Donaldson flailing at that and looking confused afterwards.  Great way to work out of that jam Santana

Tulo sucks.

Given our (lack of a) bullpen, I'm not happy Santana needed 27 pitches in that inning.

After 2 (1-1 CBU) I'm going out on a limb and say Ervin doesn't get that CG after all.

 

0 for 3 with RISP thus far.

and the Jays are 0-4.  I like their chances of turning it around better than ours, unfortunately.

If, but only if?

I was wondering that.....

 

Like, if john were me, he'd do that, or he'd do that if he was john?

 

it is john, right?

And that is why you don't bunt in the third inning of a 1-1 game....

Great stroke by Zuke, let's get that lead back!

That is who I was referring to actually, I was wrong, it is 0 for 4!

The Most Interesting Man in the World: I don't cut people often, but when I do, I pick Mauer.

 

Stay drunk, my friends.

BUNTING IN THE THIRD INNING ARRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

Great stroke by Zuke, let's get that lead back!

He is taking some much better at bats as of late.

Dozier on a pace to break 30 home runs. That's just impressive, second baseman or not.

Wait, did they try to sacrifice in the third inning? Really? Against one of the highest scoring teams in the league? Really not a fan. I'm guessing Jack Goin has stats that prove me wrong though.....

Wait, the twins bunted in the top of the 3rd?  With a dude on 2nd and nobody out?

 

Kill me now

Actually now it makes a ton of sense why he batted Nunez 2nd today. Molly loves his bunting, but every time the Twins face a good pitcher it seems like he kicks up the bunting and stealing up 5 more notches.
