Tis but a scratch!

He walked it off, he's in a hockey city after all ?

I think he'll be OK. Crisis averted!

How 'bout another insurance run or two?

Bring on the ice!

This may be sadistic but I wanna see a picture of what that bruise looks like ?

Gotta bring Duran back for the 9th unless the team has long inning and he stiffens up. Still better get somebody loose.

I got hit by a line drive off my inner thigh in softball ... yeah ... wasn't paying attention ... that bruise was the worst, imagine his might be worse

They had Duffey and someone else warming, I think Duran is done. Once he sits down the leg is gonna get worse. 

Nice hit by Urshela.

I imagine that you'll be able to count the laces.

A nice neon shade of purple? I took a line drive pitching BP in a church league softball game in about 2009 and my shin still has a small bump on it and when I see a guy get pegged like that I have ghost pains ?

My last HS PA, I took a fastball off the hip bone.  Bruised the bone.  I limped around for almost a week.

I stayed in the game and could barely get around the bases.

I'm going to say something that at the beginning of April I'd put $ on that I would not say...Gary Sanchez has been pretty good as a Twin..i'd be good with an extension. Now that I said it I feel like i have to defend it... He's Sano...i know I know..but can play a tough position adequately..But looks like a better DH option then Sano.

It was multi-colored; and add in yellow when it started to heal. Even my sister (who is an MD) thought it was 'impressive'

heh ... we'll take hits like that

Yup... exactly.

Another insurance run will make it safe to put in Duffey or Minaya.

Air Gio ? jumping over that ball

Just as I feared. Is a 5 run lead gonna be enough for Duffey?

Duffey closing with a 5- run lead. Yes, that should just work, if he doesn't walk anybody. 

Maybe Duffey will be his good self today and close this out. But I'd feel more comfortable if there were a reliable Plan B in the pen in case the bad self shows up.

Let's hope Duffey can get 3 up and 3 down here. 

Did we win yet?

We'll soon find out ... and maybe then people will wish Pagan had been able to make the trip?

Duffey’s coming in

3 down is more important.

 

In fact i'll be satisfied with that.
