Clean inning for the Duffey.  I'll take more of those, please.

Yup. This bullpen will look much more stable if he can revert to the guy he was the last few years. Seems like a really good, standup guy. Just need him to perform well enough to belong.

[stringer bell]

Moran has pitched better for the Twins than he has for the Saints. 

[stringer bell]

Five. 

[Mill1634]

I really don't understand not using Duffey for a 2nd inning, but it doesn't matter as long as Moran can get through 2 innings himself.

Along with some reinforcements from outside the organization, if he can actually pull it together that would be a huge bonus.  He's got a long way to go before I will trust him though.

Tonight was tomato-basil fettucine with a creamy sauce with crimini and fresh Morel mushrooms, with roasted asparagus on the side. We vegetarians DO NOT SUFFER!

While I can’t pretend to be vegetarian, I’m in he middle of a plate of steamed vegetables and it’s downright delicious. I won’t be pitying you anytime soon.

3 up and 3 down 8th? What universe is this?

[wsnydes]

Clean bullpen innings.  Much appreciated.

BUCK BOMB!

How far behind is my feed?!?!?

[Mortimerkenny21]

#20...as predicted.

[Mill1634]

The Twins have left no doubt about the fact that they are a better team than Cleveland, and I don't really think it's close. They have outplayed Cleveland for about 90% of the innings. If the front office adds two good relievers they win this division by 8+ games. 

[stringer bell]

Career high for Buck!

About 2 minutes, apparently.

And it's not even July yet.

Kinda hard to believe that, but it's also not.

[wsnydes]

Yet another double play.

I sure don’t.

 

Full disclosure, I eat meat a couple times per week…

Gio had a tough game.

Really like to see it in a 2-2 game as opposed to 6-0.  

[Tlaker]

Just hope game 1 today doesn’t come back to ——- them in September.

[Mill1634]

Twins win!

Winder was winderful, the bats did an admirable job adding on throughout the game against an AAAA starter as they should have, and against the belly of the Cleveland bullpen. Polo back healthy and AK makes this lineup much deeper and tougher. Now we just need Rocco to get on board with DH'ing Miranda more often. A split today was always the realistic expectation, and the Twins locked up a division lead heading back to Minnesota regardless of what happens the next two days.

Until tomorrow,

Enjoy your chicken!

Any of the games they threw away recently.

[wsnydes]

I'll take a DH split.  No ground lost or gained by either team.  Nothing wrong with that.

Hopefully Bundy can keep it going tomorrow!

DHing Miranda when You have Jeffers?  Madness

2 more road wins will separate TC from the division! Don’t let up… these 2 games will make a difference when it counts
