I didn't notice that, yes, bummer. That aside, looks like the Nats are fielding some players that are getting long in the tooth.

Running a bit late here, as I didn't realize the start time was moved up a bit. Odd start time, but, this has been an odd season. This season has had more ups and downs than "Wild Thing" of Valley Fair fame! *No, I'm not about to bring Mitch Williams into the discussion! Oh, wait... But, and we're carrying over a theme here, it has been a magical season for the Twins faithful this year. *Yes, I'm reaching. Content is content! Even if it's youtube video! *Internet 101...cat videos, because, well, cat videos. Now, for some thoughts: 1. No matter how you look at it, Cleveland still struggled to win the last game against the Twins and the Twins were fielding close to Quad A squad. 2. The Twins need to take care of business against the Nationals because there's no way Cleveland does anything but put the hurt on the Angels. 3. Cruz is back in the lineup. 4.Arraez, unfortunately, is in the leadoff spot. Not, not unfortunately because he's incapable of leading off. Rather, it's unfortunate because it means Max is out of the lineup. I apologize for the lateness of this thread, life has sort of caught up with me recently. With that, 5. Play ball!

He was given an unlimited budget and managed to exceed it? (I vaguely recall something similar being said about John Madden)

Disappointing, but not unsurprising, loss.

I think you need to repeat this statement.

"That had the ideal launch angle and velocity..." Um, yes, Dick, because it left the park... Garver!

Since I live in CA, I probably should travel to MN.

Is it just me or does this lineup bring back unhappy memories of seasons passed?

I want to know why Clevinger isn't being made to come completely set.

You've stolen chief's joke book, haven't you?

If Astudillo is in the lineup, it's going to be entertaining, at the very least.

I find it hard to believe, because ulcerative colitis isn't something one gets over in a hurry.

Maybe the Twins are going small ball on Cleveland, what with Clevinger on the mound?

Yo! Chief, Coors Light isn't, you know, beer.

Seconded! All in favor?

And fire in the sky?

Hey hey hey, let's take it easy with that particular name!

Interesting thought: A depleted Twins lineup just beat Cleveland.

Puig looks to be a player that has a ton of talent, decent personality but just doesn't get it some times.

I'm surprised that 1-2 pitch that was only 12" outside wasn't called a strike.

Goody is giving up some loud outs.

Until he does.

Mulligan.
