Did Hector Gomez send out a tweet that Cruz was unavailable to PH tonight?

Barely, he was teetering a bit...

Hendriks in a tie game on the road? Hmmm....

This doesn't bode well, lol...not unless Crochet rediscovers 99-102/103 suddenly.

Who the hell is LaRussa going to send out there? Crochet?

That's impossible with their current pitching staff and no Buxton and an at best tenuous closing situation. Robles right now is their best pitcher out of the pen.

I'd say the cheaper contract that's on pace for a 4.8 fWAR season, for $300 Alex.

Need a Heyward clubhouse inspirational speech if there's a rain delay...

He's hitting like Yankees CANO tonight...

Where's MENDICK?

I just had exam invigilation for two hours, missed that development...

Oh, didn't realize he was already into the game for defense. Mendick could be a PRer, as well.

Have to run Hamilton...take your chances.

Great piece of hitting there by Mercedes. PR? Need an XB hit from Eaton here.

Indians also in the process of blowing their big lead over the Angels, now 5-4.

Now you're the one who's freaking out, haha. We get Shoemaker (or Pineda?) tomorrow, not Berrios. He's the only one to really be worried about. That said, the sweep was there for the taking, and now it's going to be a battle. At some point, the Twins have to get a walk-off, 1 run or extra inning victory, especially at home.

I think Bummer alone now individually has at least 4 blown saves...

Bummer gave up that homer on a 95.3 MPH sinker. He usually throws the ball harder than that...96-98. Refsnyder the hottest current hitter on their roster.

Well, there's blown lead #11. Had too many opportunities to extend the lead with RISP and didn't get it done. Woke up a hitter who I think was in the 130's or 140's at the beginning of the game.

Other than that his first name is Zach/Zack, which is a pretty darned cool baseball name... http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?ID=164273 Had 93 at-bats for the Twins in 2017 with pretty limited power.

So who gets beaned by the Twins now....tough choice between Grandal and Yermin. That said, I wouldn't want to mess with Lance Lynn if I was on the other team.

Yeah, but he's never been good at judging them off the crack of the bat despite being right inside the stadium with a bird's eye view.

Grandal and Benetti have one thing in common....terrible perception about home run balls.

Twins quite fortunate to only surrender one run that inning...guess the Anderson and Grandal balls were both well hit?

When are the Rays going to call up Franco....sheesh, what does the poor kid have to do? It's not the Rays' offense at the major league level is anything to write home about.
