Game Thread x2: Twins @ Guardians, Noon:10 and 6:10 CT

[wsnydes]

Larnach's surgery went well this morning according to the radio crew.

At 74 pitches, I have to think Smeltzer goes out for the 6th.  The question is if Rocco lets him go out for the 7th, assuming he's somwehere between 85 and 90 pitches.  I think today he will.

Nice inning there for Smeltzer.

I agree.  That would probably be the correct route.  With Winder going in the nightcap, it would seem prudent to save the pen as much as you can.

Yes it did

[big dog]

I still maintain that one run won’t win this game, but I’m not willing to bet nearly as much money on that.

I home he recovers quick and complete!

[Irishman]

Will it be another no runs for Twins again?

[umterp23]

Offense currently is offensive.  Missed great opportunity in the 1st inning to set the tone and now we are through 6 innings swatting at the baseball

You need execution, too. Nice work Smeltzy!

I don't know how he's doing it, but I'm glad he is.  And I'm enjoying it.

[Jerr]

Ok, time for some runs TWINS!!!

Yes, and his debut (7) was the highest until today.

[RpR]

Amazing as badly as the Twins are whiffing, Smeltzer has really had Cleveland whiffing more and the Twins may lose one to zero with out a home run.

[Jerr]

I don't see a lot of gain by putting in Contreras there.

[James]

Gilberto!

[RpR]

Celestino pops out of his slump in BIG way.

[big dog]
