Why is Gardenhire leaving Perkins in? "Trying to save the Bull pen?" Come on.....Bases loaded in the 5th, Back to back walks in the 6th and let's him pitch to the M's best hitter Ibaez and gives up the dinger!!! Gardenhires good, But he's trying to get to much out of a guy who's known for hitting a wall in the 6th inning! He proves it time and time again!!!

Well I guess it's nice that they at least came back and won today. what is there issue wiht playing seattle? they are one of the worst teams in the league and the twins have really struggled with them. Let's hope for a WS and RS loss.

Actually, Perkins is becoming one of the people he can leave in longer than 6 innings..Before today, 2 of his last 3 starts had been 8 inning shutouts with a low enough pitch count that Gardy could have left him in to finish it. Sometimes I wonder if Gardy pulls them to early so they aren't building up the stamina and know how to pitch more than 6??

Chappy, don't take this personal but Gardy is just about the only one that could have this team only 2 games back this late in the year. The Twins have several weaknesses but Gardy sure isn't one of them.
Twins today!
