LaTroy "that's not a strike, Jesus" lol

Lol I’ll take that over the zombie morneau

I need to say this more often: we are really lucky to have Cory Provus calling Twins games on the radio. He is fantastic.

LaTroy def my fav

Heck of an inning for the hitters... glad they can finally take the stress off this game. If only we could have saved a few of this ABs for the past couple days, though.

I still don't love LaTroy as an announcer, but he's certainly #2 on the list this year. Kaat is terrible, Morris is terrible, and anyone else that gets a shot this year will probably be terrible. Justin leaves a lot to be desired in the excitement role (as does Dick, imo), but I think he does a really good job at sharing perspective. 

Don't stop boys

Damnit Luis.

 

I was all ready to post "Twins win is 9 to 5 job" and you RUINED it.

What a fantastic inning by the hitters after failing to take a game over last the past 2. Zero reason to use Pagan in the 9th now. Just give it to Stashak (I can't believe I just said this).

He tends to mumble once in a while, but he's both close to the game and the team. Hearing him urge Cano to use his two-seamer has lots of weight.

Kaat is terrible? Bro. He’s a GD baseball treasure. 83 years old and still sharp as a tack

Wait...what??!?

 

"Kaat is terrible"??

I think Jim Kaat might be the best TV analyst I've ever heard.

Not in the year 2022.

I like LaTroy with Dick because he seems to keep Dick's lesser qualities in check.  I like Justin and Roy but they both are rough on the ears.

C'mon Mill, Stashak is on the IL.

Arraez is so good. Hoping his knees don’t catch up to him for a long long time

I think he's still on the IL?

Also, yeah, Kaat isn't terrible. Maybe not a great announcer, but he's still fun to listen to.

Roy is known as Smelly around this house, and it isn't because we don't know how to say his name.

I agree. I'll take Kaat on national broadcast over Joe halfabuck any day

Cano is not ready for the majors.

I don’t think he can wait much longer 

Cano for Kiriloff after this game?

1 more out...

Pagan will make it interesting in the ninth.

Guess not. I did call the homer by Melendez. Glad the Twins had a five-run cushion. 

This is not a good time to walk guys -- make them hit it.

We may need Kirilloff to pitch the 9th.

Can’t it just be easy? I feel for Cano. He was so close 

Damn Royals burnin' up the barn

Cano has Pagan on his fantasy team, me thinks. 

Cano really needs to go back to the minors.
