I stopped watching at 6 because I knew it was over. My MLB app won't stop buzzing my phone!

Easy there, bud. The Twins have won 7 of their last 8 against the Rangers, and they're only four grand slams from pulling within one run.

 

[darkside31337]

And to think the Twins haven't even used Matt Capps yet.

 

[Doytch]

Chris Davis, another K.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Can't score off Dumatrait? :jakncoke

Jason Kipnis' first hit is a walk-off single in his fourth at-bat for the Indians. That's a hell of a first hit.

 

[Macattk15]

Seattle Mariners, terrible at baseball

But less terrible than the Astros, Orioles, Kansas City, and The Cubs. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

 

[SafeinSound]

Wow at this Phillies stat: "haven’t lost back-to-back games in over 40 games."

 

[Doytch]

Wow at this Phillies stat: "haven’t lost back-to-back games in over 40 games."

Well yeah, they've got the three-headed monster of Halladay, Hamels and Vance Worley.

The anti-Reds.

It's hard to lose back to back games when you have 3 of the best starting pitchers in baseball.

Unlike the Reds.

And to think the Twins haven't even used Matt Capps yet.

I'm crossing my fingers it's because he was traded for a catered clubhouse dinner, or because he's suffering from season ending hemorrhoids.

 

[jakncoke]

James McDonald having another decent game, if he punts this here like he has been known to im calling to throwing out of the rotation and into bullpen. He's got good stuff but doesn't seem to be able to string it into deep into the game.

 

[SafeinSound]

Yes, I know their pitching is the reason they've been able to keep that state afloat, I just didn't know it was that high.

Also, Lee has helped as well, but he has definitely had his struggles lately. Toronto/SD.

 

[eznark]

Here comes Houston!

 

[Sharp]

Holy fuck at that Rangers game

WTF

Call me when Mauer hits something other than singles.

 

[Lambtron]

You're pretty salty for being up by 17 runs.

 

[eznark]

Here comes Houston!

Holy shit, they delivered! Carlos Lee Grand Slamma

 

[Sharp]

16 runs now, Twins RBI credited to Chris Davis

 

[The_Inquisitor]

16.

Welp, when Beltran comes back Chris Davis will go right back to the minors where he belongs.

Alexi Casilla kills the rally. THAT WAS THEIR CHANCE.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Oh god, our minor league players are getting triples now.

 

[rando14]

Ah, now it's up to a nice round 20.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Ah, now it's up to a nice round 20.

25 hits.

 

[jakncoke]

lol McLouth

 

[Brinbe]

Holy shit, just saw the score. Ouch.

 

[Lambtron]

I wonder if the Twins can find a way to have Scott Baker, Glen Perkins, Francisco Liriano, and Joe Nathan pitch all the rest of the innings of the season. DFA everyone else.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Send back old man Rhodes too.

 

[jakncoke]

6th inning. so ofc McDonald fall apart.

 

[harSon]

lol McLouth

His loyalties still lie with the Pirates <3

6th inning. so ofc McDonald fall apart.

 

[Sharp]

Twins coming back!

 

[Lambtron]

Twins coming back!

Cuddyer coming out to pitch the 8th. The Twins need to stay in striking distance so they can get him his first major league win.

 

[jakncoke]

McKenry hurt now? fuuu

edit: guess not.

 

[darkside31337]

That was totally catcher's interference. Probably broke his thumb in the process too. Or not.

Boosting his trade value! Smart move on the Twins part.

 

[jakncoke]

lol bob what does weight room and get a swinging bat to your hand have to do with anything. srly.

...I thought you were joking but this way is so much more awesome

Bahahaha oh man you were serious? Oh jeez this game

 

[Lambtron]

The last time the Twins got skunked like this they rolled off a few wins in a row. I hope this loosens them up a little bit.

 

[clemenx]

A position player in the 8th? :lol

 

[Lambtron]

His BABIP is terrible, and unsustainable. He's been very unlucky so far.

A position player in the 8th? :lol

It's Cuddyer or Capps. I'd roll with Cruddy, too.

 

[jakncoke]

haha nice. thought he was going to fuck it up

 

[rando14]

2 hits in 7 pitches, not looking good...

I don't think those equations work on position players.

Ahahahaha best pitcher on the Twins

 

[darkside31337]

From Sherman

After day of phone calls I believe #Rangers are pushing hardest for Beltran followed by #Braves, #Redsox. #Giants and #Phillies fading

God I love Jon Daniels in general but landing Beltran will turn it into a full blown man crush. Our biggest need is a reliever? Hell no, biggest need is more offense. 20 runs and 27 hits isn't good enough.

 

[CygnusXS]

Cuddyer's throwing 4-seamers, changes, cutters. and a slider, according to PitchFX.

 

[Lambtron]

2 hits in 7 pitches, not looking good...

Capps would've let at least 3 of those runs score with the bases loaded.

 

[jakncoke]

woo got out of that.

 

[harSon]

Thank God

 

[Sharp]

...Why is Neftali Feliz pitching...

 

[rando14]

Wow nice Cuddyer got out of a jam.

 

[jakncoke]

welp looks like Twins wont break the record.

 

[Lambtron]

...Why is Neftali Feliz pitching...

Gotta get some work in. I hope the Twins make him throw about 35 pitches.
