Come on Rios, we need a redeemer.

It 's interesting to look at the Twins offense stats. individual stats don't wow anyone but they do well collectively. They've been scoring a lot of runs without the long ball. Their approach at the plate is not all or nothing.

A huge part of the reason that they've done it without the long ball is that Target field has been the worst HR hitters ballpark in baseball. The Twins have been one of the most potent HR hitting ballclubs in the league on the road...they've hit 80 HR on the road, for #3 int he AL.

least he didn't strike out or GIDP

 

Time for Rios to do something

I'm glad I can't actually watch this game. Sounds like I would have thrown something by now.

Can someone explain why they'd rather take Carlos over Jones in RF? Power numbers are similar.

Acta managing like this is the World Series.

 

Well, after Ozzie called him out for not deserving another major league managing job, I'm sure he enjoys beating us just a little bit more.

Germano!

It'd be great for all of us then if Rios takes this guy deep.

I didn't know that. Ozzie needs to keep his damn mouth shut.

Acta's a better tactical manager than Ozzie.

Tallest midget thing there.

What was the point of running on a 3-0 count?

Good steal, now get on for Paul.

To induce an intentional walk.

Cmon PK!

Pierre got lucky there....shouldn't be looking back at the plate/catcher. Why do that? It just slows you down.

pls...get on base for manny!

Paul hits a HR here and Manny gets credit for protecting him in the on deck circle haha.

We all want it to be Manny.

HBP and a slam.

8th inning getting interesting

A little late inning production from Konerko would be grand right here.

They probably don't want to pitch to Manny so Paulie will get something to hit.

 

Paulie chants...

He didn't really say that but okay.
