Lucas looked to have pretty good fastball location and velo the first 2 innings. Not so much this inning.

Cy Bundy's at it again.

We're sure taking a lot of middle middle fastballs.

Nelson Cruz got a 1 year $14 million deal just last year and he was coming off a better season than Jose in 2020. First basemen over 35 usually don't get $20 million a year on the open market.

Pollock!

That Cleveland grounds crew is up to no good again.

We've never beaten Bundy before...hope that ends today.

I think we're seeing Cease learning how to pitch. He's pitching to contact more early in games so he can cut down on his pitch count. He had 1 K through 5 today but ended up with 7. I don't think it's a coincidence that he's gone 8 and 9 innings the last 2 starts. Something has clicked with him recently and I think we're seeing the next phase of his evolution.

They really tried icing Cease by switching from one position player to another...

Probably the most well played game of the year start to finish. Sweep these fuckers tomorrow.

Yeah it would have been a no-no had they just walked Arraez. Oh well.

AJ was right...Arraez should have seen nothing near the zone. You'd rather face Garlick. Still though, what an effort from Dylan tonight.

First K for Cease through 5 innings. Never thought I'd see that.

Romy hit that ball so hard, Statcast didn't know where it went.

Romy Gonzalez, certified Twins killer

HOME RUNS = GOOD

ROMY!

Harrison had that stolen if Romy lets the pitch go.

Gotta score at least one here.

Cease's velocity is down so far and he only had 2 swings and misses the first time through the order. The results are good, but this usually isn't the norm with him.

He's also not even fast. He's 17th percentile in sprint speed. His true top speed is probably much better than that, but it seems like he goes first to third more than anyone else on the team.

The Twins may have gotten damaged goods with Mahle just like they did with Paddack.

Mahle's done. We really should have gotten more off him.

Nice play by Romy.

Can't be walking guys like Cave.
