Putting in subs for Kepler and Polanco in the seventh Is a bit early IMHO.

Like labradoodles?

Miranda could have used one of those PAs against Snead.

Challenges should be unavailable if the score is not within 6 runs and your past the 5th inning

Disagree, that's an extra hit that would have counted on the pitcher's stats. I prefer getting things right, even if the game is a blowout.

Great all around game today.

I probably would have waited until the 8th

I want to see Buxton play as much as anyone, but now is a perfect time to rest him. Why is he still in the game?

Nice outing for Gray. I suppose they didn’t want to push him to 100 pitches, but he had retired 10 in a row.

Really no reason to push him, especially with an off-day tomorrow. Get him off the mound with the success fresh in his mind. Although, I would prefer Cano to get an out at some point here...

Step 1: Create Forum Topic

Step 2: Title it Handling Kepler and Polanco

Step 3: ??? 

Step 4: Profit 

Alright, let's get Cano out of the game. Reminds me of last Friday all over again.

Like where you smoke cigars?

Yeah. Well Duran is available today.

Yep, that's what she is (for the most part ... some supermutt in there too)

Okay. Broken bat hit, then a line out, near DP. Everything balances out. 

Very nice damage control by Cano. Of course, he was aided by a fantastic play by Miranda 

19 pitches and 14 strikes.  That's what you're supposed to do up 11-2.  It wasn't pretty, but I'll take that from Cano.

I hate when the MLB schedules games with the same team where you're seeing the same arms that you just saw the last time through the rotation. It's been said countless times that it's not who you're playing, but when you're playing them. Happened this series with the A's, and is now about to happen with the Tigers and Royals. It's just silly, in my mind. That said, the Twins have a real chance to make some space between the rest of the division in late May. I think the goal is 10-5, with 9-6 being okay, and 8-7 being the worst that you'd want.

Very cool! I'm guessing a lot of nervous energy??

Cody Stashak has no business being anywhere near a major league mound.

No, it's where you store them to keep them fresh for when you DO smoke them!

Ohhhh!

Here comes the position-pitcher ... Fatten up the lines, boys!

 

Very good article about he demotion. The article mentions Correa going into Rocco's office following the news and wanting a rational for the demotion of Lewis.

When did position player's pitching turn in to slow pitch softball? Maybe I am misremembering, but I don't recall guys always lolly-popping so many pitches.

Hey even I could get a hit off this guy lol.

Put me in coach!
