Dozier, I know it's asking a lot but pahleeze......bring them in.

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Doz makes this his second straight multi-HR game

Dozier can now feel free to rip a three-run dinger.

 

He SHOULD get first

Danny goes off the board, and states his belief that Dozier should not be told to bunt.  That's some great strategy there, Dazzle.

Season's on the line here, boys.

If you listened carefully, you could hear the squeak of the markers on the whiteboard as he checked the math on that one.

This guy reminds me of the last weekend I spent in New Orleans. 

I think the last thing I said before leaving was, "Lets hope our friends and family Neverauskas about what happened here."

Nuts!!!

Danny says that in order to score Castor on a single you have to take into account the exit velocity of the batted ball, the arm strength of the outfielder, and the foot speed of one Jason Castro.  I didn't realize Billy Nye did color commentary for WCCO.

Let's go Mauer clap clap clapclapclap

Hmmm, he may have done it wrong.  Perhaps we should have had Dozier bunt.

 

No DP here plz

Dozier, save the grounders for when no one is on base and the HR's for when they are on base please. 

Should have bunted Dozier

I still think we come back and win this one

Nice sacrifice fly there by Mauer.

Dozier just sent this over to me, and asked me to share in response.

 

I still like our odds.

someone take my b8 plz 

Lemme get this straight: Castro on 3rd, 3B "40 feet from the bag," Joe Mauer batting, and he's a very good bunter, but he didn't bunt, and Castro didn't lead off 30 feet. They were conceding a run on a bunt down the line. Twins decided to swing away, fly ball, no runs score. 

 

Genius!

I still like our odds.

So disappointing. It looked like he understood when they explained it in the dugout.

 

If the Twins do come back to win this one, you have to give Lynn some credit.  Terrible first inning, regrouped and gave us 3 more innings to give us time to adjust.  I always hate it when the Twins get to a pitcher early, only to see him go another few innings, so I appreciate being on the other side of the coin.

There being no reliever warmed up and available in the bullpen, Lynn was in the unenviable situation of having to relieve himself on the mound.

 

 

_{^{/ first such post of the season - can't guarantee it won't be the last}}

"I like this Duke."

 

For five points, name that movie.

I thought there would be no math

Let's stop with all this walking off other hitters, please.
