[Winston Smith]

Altuve is kind of a punk but I'd take him on my team.

[Winston Smith]

Chief I put you over the top!

[RickOShea]

Archer looks gassed  and pis-ed.

If the Twins can’t get the offense going, it might be in their best interest to let him pitch seven innings tonight. Yeah, 7, burn him up, save the pen guys. Archer’s not getting a postseason start if they make it that far.

You're thinking of Sir Hansirhan. He assassinated former British PM James Garfield, and was later knighted by Queen lead singer Fred E. Mercury. 

[RickOShea]

I wonder if Sirhan and OJ were ever penpals?

Duran warming up to start the 5th inning. Why the hell not I suppose. 

[RpR]

I find it fitting that the announcers do not say the Twins have the making of an inning but MIGHT have the making of an inning.

Time for Arraez to earn his praise.

"letting Archer soak up some innings" = what? 4 and 2/3rds?

Rendered moot, with the offense showing signs of life 

[RickOShea]

Sanchez, the Twins' offensive juggernaut.

Surely you can't be serious.

Gary Sanchez:  " Man that was some half inning for me.  I damn near blew threw a new pair of Nikes."

[USAFChief]

Correa.

SMH.

Huh, I always thought it was Fred MacMurray??‍♂️

That would be asinine - I guess they just want him to simulate an outing? But the game is reasonably close so…

Boras is already urging him to exercise his second season with the Twins I imagine

I'm sorry, incorrect.

"I am serious. And don't call me Shirley" is the answer we were looking for.
