Luckily Plouffe didn't get to hit last inning or we'd be trailing...

 

Indians have bases loaded as well, but don't score.

 

 

 

Uh-oh.

 

"Ace" Peavy struggling this inning. Get the bullpen going, prepare for 2 more hours of bullpen match-ups here today.

Well, there goes that lead. At least he's a fighter, right?

Nice pitch to strike out Florimon

Olmedo-esque AB for Florimon there.

 

Pesky Span due up. 2 more chances for the Twins to tie it up.

I'm so not used to Gardenhire not bunting in that situation.

Cmon Jake, one more, and don't bleeping let Mauer up.

 

Please tell me there's a lefty up in the bullpen in case Mauer comes up.

Thought your feed was quicker...

 

Great throw there by Wise, BTW.

 

Revere with 2 out opportunity to tie it now.

C'mon, we need Septimo or Omogrosso for Mauer.

 

Would be pretty hilarious if Veal gives up a homer to Joe if Ventura pulls him to prevent him from facing Mauer for a 3rd time.

I agree, Veal hitting a homer off of Veal would be hilarious.

 

Actually sounds delicious too.

Great job keeping the lead. Let's get some more runs though!

Who would get the runs for that?

Now you're left with the equally interesting decision to pull Peavy and have Veal face Mauer and Morneau to lead off the bottom of the 6th.

 

You almost have to do it if you're Ventura, POSSIBLY a one run lead, Mauer perforated some eardrums with his last drive off the base of the CF wall and homered oppo.

Anyone who ate their veal way undercooked

I'd still let Peavy face Mauer. Even with 18 pitchers, tomorrow's the bigger game we need. Worst Mauer can do is tie it.

I'm over getting mad at Peavy. He is what he is. A pretty good, definitely not great, starting pitcher. He is hittable and the wheels can fall off at any point. He's OK, definitely in the upper half of starting pitchers, but he is far from dominant. He's not worth some huge contract, but a ton of starters in the bigs are overpaid as well as him.

Bye bye baseball

Baseball just hit plane...

A HUGE blast by Adam Dunn. 4-2 Sox.

I'm going to disagree and say he goes with Veal.

 

We'll see.

 

If it was just ONE lefty, maybe not. But too tempting to knock out both guys.

 

 

HUGE homer by Dunn, number 39.

 

Now that gives Peavy the dreaded 2 run cushion he keeps giving back in recent outings.

 

 

191 to 124 power gap between Sox and Twins.

It depends on the pitch count and Adam of course just gave some valuable insurance with the blast.

DUNN!!

Awesome Dunn. Welcome back, kind sir.

Peavy's only thrown 85 pitches

Wow. It's safe to say he was staying in the game even if it was 3-2. Way too early to pull him just cause lefties are coming up.

Awesome Dunn. Welcome back, kind sir.

 

 

That is the Adam Dunn we all love. 39 homers and 89 RBI's this year
