Duffy with 12 K's today. Book it

8 in a row bitches !

Ok, maybe not...

Duffy not getting first pitch strikes.

HUGE K right there on Rosario. DP gets us outta the jam

Nice catch, Gordo!

Noice!

What a play by Gordon.

Talk about living on the edge. Good job getting out of THAT.

Fantastic stuff

Wheeeeeeeeeew. Hell yeah Duff!!

Wow, way to pitch out of a jam Duffy

anyone got any links to some Twins message boards after this inning? lol

Whew.

ROFL - Twins just suck

Wow that was some defense!

YEAH!!! And you don't get it out an inning like that and not come back in the bottom of the second!

Way to get out it.

Way to work through it guys

Nice job of getting through that.

:)

Damn. Gordon missed that by four inches.

Gayhawk day huh?

As a Mizzou guy it's hard not to like Self.

Great coach & seems like a good guy.

Great. Now can we watch baseball again?

This KU stuff is ****ing shit up. Too close to football season.

Great catch! :clap:

Defense holding the line

Gotta get some runs.

Shit.

Up to Gordo tin get this one in

Duffy has been one scrambling mf'r this game

Lol, Terry Gash, great name. /fever

Cleveland just went ahead in the 8th. One good thing about these other games is the teams we are chasing all seem to be playing each other, so at least we gain a game on somebody as long as we win.

KU & football don't go together.
I guess that's why they had the basketball team there.

2-1 Good Guys

Hos really starting to drive the ball

Making them pay. That's how you do it.

Hosmer is waking from his three month slumber.

The Sanchez thing by the Blue Jays is to limit his innings. Risky move when you're battling for a playoff spot though.

As much as people think his slump has killed his value... Hosmer has a great shot at 30+ doubles, 20+ HR, 90+ RBI. That's going to look solid if he gets there.

Duffy fought it all day, hell of a job (including the defense) to limit the Twinks to one.

WTF?

Duffy coming out?

It's very temporary though as roster expands on Sept 1st right. So it's essentially to remove him from 2 starts and get another arm up in that time?

yep, didn't have his best stuff today but really battled

This, he was struggling some. Great D behind him today!

He has to stay down there for 10 days. Appears they plan to bring him up to start August 31. Just weird to see a guy who was a legit All Star get sent to single A.

lol, Hud and Ryan together are pretty funny. I hate when Physioc is on there.

Why in the hell does he keep putting this clown in close games?

I have never seen a more straight ass ball, than the one Soria throws down the ****ing middle

Need another run or 2 here.

Bringing in their closer in the 8th inning of a game they're down 1. Molitor's pulling out all the stops.

It's a sweep!

Swept the week.

Keep the wins moving.

This is fun

Good win. Bullpen has really stepped it up the past few weeks.

No matter what happens down the stretch, they have made it another entertaining season.

Yep,

The Astos have really folded lately. Whats their problem?

Yankees lost earlier. Mariners just blew a game to the Brewers. Nice!

Yeah definitely turning into a good day. Mariners just collapsed in the 9th. If the Astros hang on we'll be 3.5 back in the wild card.

Well, they are 6 outs from taking 3 of 4 in Baltimore so they may be righting the ship

Shades of 1994? 14 straight wins??
