What would happen if a emergency pitcher kept saying he needed a couple more pitches, like, for 45 minutes?

I haven't watched the Twins for ten days, because that would be too long of a game.

Hardest hit for a Twin in weeks

Bush (Intercontinental) or Hobby?  We have two commercial airports where you can go stir crazy over missing suitcases.

Yes, I live about 30 minutes' drive from downtown.  A week ago I was considering buying a ticket for a Twins game.  A week is a long time.

Yeah…..almost as long as it takes our pen to get out of the 7th or 8th inning.

Bright side--- no twins pitcher has been taken out do to  pitching performance,  YET

[AceWrigley]

[USAFChief]

Almost like Bregman guessed breaking ball. Weird.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sigh.

Scoreboard watching.  In August.  For third place.  

Good times, good times.

Why can't we get runners in from third like that?

[AceWrigley]

Twin's bullpen has given up almost 3 times the number of home runs given up by the Astro's pen.

I'd been meaning to ask: are you over your fascination with Megill yet?

You can put it on the board.

Well they’ve probably thrown twice as many innings

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Alright...

Let's score us some runs!

I'd like to know why our guy who throws 100 comes in and, game after game, throws 80 percent breaking balls.

Yeah, we seem to have scored the other guys enough runs by now.

Since the Sox are behind the Twins and they are in "battle' for a wild card spot with the O's and others teams this actually hurts the Twins chances.

[ashbury]

Will Smith replace Ryne Stanek

Is that a substitution, or a question?

Yes 

[AceWrigley]

Just think, if somehow we score some runs and take the lead, Emilio Pagan is warming up in the pen.

Yes, Twins hit Will Smith! Chris Rock approves 

[AceWrigley]

Twins slap around Will Smith.

Problem solved.

[USAFChief]

You had ONE job, Sanchez!

Just strike out.
