OK, Liam, there's your cushion - ball's in your court now.

Impressive, Esccobar. He'll likely start again tomorrow?

Well, with two outs he was already around 2nd by the time the ball landed.

 

Durrr. Thanks. I guess I had wiped the two K's out of my mind already.

Bottom of the order production...can't beat that with a stick. Nice start for Liam too.

Hendriks leaving pitches up in the zone again. Sigh.

Liam really needs to work on getting that downward plane.

I spoke to soon.

Yeesh.

No help from the ump either. Come on Liam, work in and out and down.

It sucks that there is virtually no chance at a k here

Gotta love loading the bases within 10 minutes of getting a 3-run lead.

Oh, for crying out loud.

Shafted by the umps again.

So pull him if he fails here. Just can't hold a lead Liam.

Are you ****ing kidding me!

Um....Out

Oh boy. Plouffe better hit a lit of home runs this year.

How can Phil Cuzzi make the correct call there, but call that foul ball in the playoffs?

Locked him up. Nice.

Hendriks showing some chutzpah out there.

Wow

Wow. Nice job Liam!

Wow! How did we get out of that with only one run in? Last year it would have completely melted down.

So by getting four outs that inning, the Os only get two outs in the next, right?

 

On another note, let's see if the zone is the same size while the Twins bat.

So impressive from Hendriks. And he had to get 4 outs, too. Very encouraging.

 

I felt like I was watching the Twins offense popping up and striking out with the bases loaded.

Nice. Very encouraging, maybe Liam is turning the page.

I think that's the 4th time Willingham has gone down looking. Swing the bat man!

If Morneau is traded this season, I'm going to really miss that lanky swing and finish.

He's had some pretty BS strike calls. He did the right thing by not flailing at least two of those pitches.

"J Mauer grounded out to second."

 

Seems like that's happening a lot again.
