[zambonir]

Ah well. As ever, just take the series. The Twins have the same record we do, at least it's not like losing to the Royals (or the Red Sox, lol).

[LoneStarPhan]

Leadoff walk and HBP both score on the homer to give the Twins a comfortable 4 run lead. It would be amazing to come back here in the bottom of the ninth. We can't expect that to happen but it sure would be amazing.

[LoneStarPhan]

Go for the series win tomorrow. Can't win them all. Arrieta keep them in the game again. Not great but okay start. Actually, 7 innings and 3 runs is going to give them a chance for the win most games.

[zambonir]

Yup Arrieta a bright spot. The fact that two of our top three relief arms are scuffling (and #4 is hurt) still a short-term concern.

[LoneStarPhan]

Robertson and Neris gave some hope with their performance Friday and Dominguez can be optioned if he is messes up and needs to adjust. Neris certainly benefitted by going to AAA for a period mid-season last year.

[zambonir]

Seems like Seranthony's issue might be more physical than mental/mechanical though. Would feel better if Hunter was up and Arano hadn't cratered (for now) but obviously this offense is going to pick up both bad starts and bad relief outings. Just not today.

[Philsmania]

I fear Dominguez is a part of the litany of bullpen one season wonders.
