Twins ?

[SWSiouxMN]

They need to skip Berrios' turn in the rotation. 

Something isn't quite right. 

[Wilbur]

Welp, now its 9-7 because Berrios is all over the place.  Not sure why Rosario is playing so deep with a strong wind blowing in and a lefty up, but Berrios didn't help matters by walking people and leaving the ball up. 

[SWSiouxMN]

Texas STILL doesn't know how to run the bases.

The Twins need to get out of Texas, too many odd things are happening. 

 

[Wilbur]

Harper may be the next in line to be off the bullpen staff.  Rosario needs to catch the ball in left, but Texas really crapped the running the bases bed again. 

[SWSiouxMN]

May and Duffey each have another great outing.   

Hope they can keep it going. 

[Wilbur]

Imagine a bullpen with a confident and sharp Trevor May.  

Rodgers, Dyson, Duffey, Romo, May, Graterol, Thorpe/Smeltz/Harper.

[Wilbur]

Four of five on the road trip.  Now go give Lance Lynn what he deserves tomorrow and sweep your way out of Texas.  

Yankee fan for one more day and then I become a Mets fan.  Hopefully the Tribe stumbles a bit more in NYC. 

[Wilbur]

Dare I say Perez makes it through 5???  Plenty of bullpen options....Cleveland won today......makes winning this one pretty important.  

[sioux rube]

Polanco may not be the best defensive ss but he can rake. Huge 3 run triple to break a 3-3 tie 

[Wilbur]

Big four game sweep.  Five of six on the road.  Now keep the foot on the pedal as Chicago and Detroit come calling.

If the Twins don't sweep the Rangers this weekend, something is wrong. 

Excellent

Now feast on Chicago and Detroit for the rest of the month. 

Getting Cruz back likely on Monday.  Need to get Berrios right for the stretch run.

Good call!  

I think with the arms in the bullpen now we can really make a push with the schedules now.  If our starters can get it to the 6th with a lead the arms should be able to ride it home most nights.

Gibby tomorrow......

Gibby tomorrow......

 

2 hitter. Or 6 hits and 4 walks in 3 innings. One of those. 

[SiouxFan100]

More than halfway through August

So true, all or nothing with Gibson.

[Wilbur]

May have wanted to pitch around Abreu there with a base open, but it's what you expect with Gibby. 

[jodcon]

Not great Gibson again. Sigh.

Paging the bats now...

To be fair, he was bad on one pitch.

However, that is all that it taken so far....

[Wilbur]

Gibby owes the club at least 7.  Buckle down, throw 110 plus pitches, and give some arms a break. 

[SWSiouxMN]

Twins should have challenged that play at the plate.  I think they had a case of the catcher blocking the sliding lane before getting the ball.

[UNDMOORHEAD]

Suicide squeeze with two strikes, never saw that coming.

Gibby needed to bury that change up in the dirt and make him chase it.  He got too predictable in that situation.

Yup.  I think they win the challenge too.  Plate was blocked before he had the ball.  Another case of review guy not doing his job. 

[Wilbur]

Sano up with a chance.....

[SWSiouxMN]

I’m not mad, just disappointed.

Oh well, go roll off 4 straight wins again.
