twins didn't really get to kenta. two runs thru six innings and he threw only 87 pitches. send him out for one more inning. please.

[weimy froob]

ryan gives up a run in the sixth. 3-2 tigers in the bottom of the seventh. tigers won the season series last year. very well could happen again.

[LwnmwrMan222]

Ryan Jeffers MVP!!

[LwnmwrMan222]

Rocco with another brilliant coaching move.

Bottom of 9, 2 out, Miranda steals second.

Rocco pulls Miranda and puts Buxton in to run.

Problem is, Fatsquez is up to bat and pops out to the right fielder on the first pitch.

He has to have Fatsquez bat, since he once again has both catchers in the batting order.

Buck is a disaster. Just struck out on a pitch 4 feet outside and in the dirt.

[boxter432]

Nice play vasquez. Another L against the division.
Wallner took his sweet time throwing to the plate allowing the run to score easily.
Edit sneak into the 12th despite 2 defensive mistakes.


Now tigers walk in a run. Farmer a chance to blow it open and takes multiple called strikes. Santana also leaves bat on his shoulder with bases loaded. Trash. Add their batting averages up and it’s .151.

Long ass at bat for Jeffers!

[feekdogg]

Hell of an at bat by Jeffers.

[LwnmwrMan222]

Hell of an at bat by Jeffers.

Agreed.

Good things can happen when you defend the plate, instead of stand there thinking analytics are going to get you a walk.

[The Real Ted]

The Twins deserved a loss after their piss poor performance with the bases loaded.

But the Tigers were even shittier, walking in a run, and then a fuck-up at third that gave away another 3 runs.

[LwnmwrMan222]

Wallner!! 3 run home run!!!

Off a position player pitching, throwing 68 mph.

[feekdogg]

It was a rather winding road to an offensive breakout, but I'm sure they'll take it.

[LwnmwrMan222]

Carlos Santana now 0-25. Time to cut bait.

[LwnmwrMan222]

Julien with another home run. Royce who?

[feekdogg]

Need SWR to not give it right back.

[The Real Ted]

Julien with another home run. Royce who?

I saw Julien at spring training in the batting cage where you can watch through the fence at Hammond Stadium about a month ago.

He was hitting pitches off a tee set up on the outside corner of the plate, to the opposite field. (into a net)

I got bored watching it after about 15 minutes. They didn’t ever move the tee. But it seems like his obsession with that is paying off.

[LwnmwrMan222]

Seems like the 3 run homer for Wallner off the position player in game 1 hasn't done anything for his ability to hit real pitching.

4th inning and two K's so far.

Time for Larnach.

[weimy froob]

SWR giving the twins a good start. he's in good shape pitch-wise to make it a quality one.

[feekdogg]

Larnach has turf toe and he might end up being out for awhile.

[feekdogg]

SWR retired 14 straight batters.

50 bucks says the pud manager pulls him after 6.

[weimy froob]

good to see castro go yard. i think martin will stay up and wallner will be sent down when kepler's ready to come off the IL.

[feekdogg]

Shocking. Baldummy on the verge of blowing a real nice start by SWR.

[weimy froob]

sands/julien and the twins get out of the seventh on one pitch from cole.

[Phil Leotardo]

Much needed sweep of the doubleheader.

[boxter432]

Yay sweep.

[weimy froob]

good day in twins territory. only two games back in the loss column and it's not even tax day. it's a long season. castro hits a HR. santana got two hits in game two and SWR, johnnie longhair and sands combined for a quality pitched game.

So that's where he is.
