Even in 2022, there's still merit to "hit 'em where they ain't".

Of course, analytic guys will probably respond "you know where they ain't?  In the outfield seats".

[wsnydes]

They've now matched the hit output from the last two games combined.  Could use another here!

Is that allowed?

Does anyone know what the patches on the Twins uniform say?

They're for Lou Gehrig day.

[MMMordabito]

Well, that sure fizzled.  Armchair QBing, but I wish the Twins were a bit more patient with Faedo today.  It seems like they got themselves out a lot.

Love it!  My favorite non-Twin ever, and possibly the second-best pure hitter of all time, in my opinion!

[downunder twins fan]

Archer must have read the article on here about him and decided to turn it up a notch!

[wsnydes]

5 complete innings!  Nice!

[bunsen82]

57 pitches through 5.

Dream? That sounds like a nightmare. I've seen Archer the second time through the lineup, it's frightening.

Looks like a blind squirrel found a nut today    We needed it.

Behind Arraez?

[MMMordabito]

Damn, Archer!  Now you've entered the Baldelli-zone.  Go sit next to Devin Smeltzer and tell him to stare at Rocco when he talks to you about "the plan".

[Cap'n Piranha]

Did Falvine invent a time machine, and bring 2015 Chris Archer back with them?

Live look at Archer right now

[Mill1634]

Chafin seems like a guy who could be a trade target in the near future. The Twins badly need another lefty, and he's a pretty good one on a team that is pretty clearly going to be selling.

Obviously #1 is Brenden Harris

It could turn to this quite quickly though:

Then they'd have the Captain and the Sheriff!

Single, Run, Double, RBI, OF Assist, Walk, Steal --- Have a small-ball day Nick Gordon!

[downunder twins fan]

Guess they didn't want Archer facing the Tigers 3 times today. 

[MMMordabito]

So you're down to four starters, five guys are about to be denied entry to CA, you'll probably have to pitch a bullpen game soon, and let's pull Archer at 57 pitches.  Hope it works.

[Parfigliano]

How come when Archer is bad he can throw 70+ pitches when good only 50+

[bunsen82]

damn 57 pitches and pulled,  that is ridiculous.  

[Richie the Rally Goat]

I was on the swim team in higschool. Today I run, typically 4 miles 3 days per week, long run (7-10 miles) on the weekend. I am training for a half marathon in the fall (my 5th). Some day I might run a full marathon.

 

dang meetings during the Twins game

[PDX Twin]

I haven't heard a leak, but if Duran goes two innings I'm betting he doesn't go to Canada.
