Mejia isn't exactly a household name. If I had a nickel for every AAA pitcher who confounded a major league team for a few games, I'd have.......a LOT of nickels.

 

Andrew Albers......nuff said.

True, it's always tough when the "book isn't out" on someone

[twinsnorth49]

 

Relatively?

Conceded.

[Aggies7]

Escobar heard someone say he's about to be traded

[Suicide Skweez]

 

There's no excuse not to try and lay down a sacrifice bunt here. None.

Pathetic. Does Molitor not teach his guys how to bunt? I can count on one hand the guys on this roster who have any idea how to lay down a bunt. Thats on Molitor.

[ashbury]

I doubt you could get a really solid pitching prospect.

I doubt it too. I hang on to him, and continue to shop Dozier.

[Aggies7]

Ok time to stall now. Maybe run the play clock down.

[Darius]

Huge hit. Great baserunning by Sano.

[twinsnorth49]

Was there ever a doubt?

Esco picks up Kepler, and everybody else!

 

He may be my favorite Twin.

[Puckett34]

EDUARDO!!!

[Deduno Abides]

lol I'm not saying that, just pointing out that both pitchers are guys they just called up, a guy they just traded for has three hits and an RBI. Frazier has 2 hits. Ellsbury, judge, gregorious, and Castro have none.

Aggies makes a good point. The Yankees, who for years were considered to have a system that was weaker than the Twins, have gotten good at getting players ready to succeed in the majors. Only a few of them came from trades. Most of them were drafted and developed by the Yankees, and many were low choices. They seem like they figured something out.

[Aggies7]

The rain has reached robbinsdale!

[USAFChief]

ESCO!

 

I wouldn't be opposed to more runs here.

[70charger]

DAMMIT! What happened to my "Eduardo ****ing Escobar!" meme with Billy Walsh!?

[David HK]

Heh... Didi at 3rd.  Have a seat.

 

You ain't gonna stop the Sano train!

[Darius]

Squeeze

 

Edit: Don't squeeze

They simply stopped shipping all their best talent for rent a major leaguers. Finally learned it's not a long term recipe for success. Their farm system is allegedly loaded.

Big rain is rapidly approaching. This game will be delayed.

[Puckett34]

EDDIE!!

[Ultima Ratio]

I love my little Escobear.  Carry on.

[mikecgrimes]

Come on umps make that a walk off

[twinsnorth49]

 

Squeeze

Looks like it will be delayed more than an hour easily.

[Suicide Skweez]

Beautiful pieces of hitting by the two Eddies. Would be nice to add an insurance run or two here for BK though!

[Riverbrian]

 

It's about to rain cats and dogs, judging by the radar. Although I have zero clue where TF is relative to Minneapolis. Could be somewhere near golden valley or little Canada for all I know.

 

Both places are poor imitations of a Valley or Canada. 

 

[ashbury]

ESCO!

Don't we need to roll over and get 2 more outs, so that this inning doesn't get washed out by rain?

[mikecgrimes]

How many do the twins need to score to not have to go through a 3 hour delay

[Aggies7]

Both places are poor imitations of a Valley or Canada.

 

I'm looking for a place called "Just OK forks, MN"

[mikecgrimes]

Although Yankees played 2 yesterday so keeping them up until 4 AM is fine
