There's no accounting for a manager who will let his starter give up a tieing 3 run HR in the 6th.

 

Unfortunately, there is.  You put a "3" in the "6" column.

SOMEbody didn't get the memo that Upton sucks.

In play, out(s)

Is it too late for this?

[Riverbrian]

What is with Escobar dropping the ball out of his glove?

 

He did it yesterday on the Miggy Double where he would have been nailed. 

 

And again right now

Probably

[hybridbear]

What's up with the poor defense? Seems like Rosario doesn't look that good out in LF...

[Aggies7]

Boooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure have of TD pressed that button on opening day.

[USAFChief]

Molitor.  Pressly.  Escobar.  Not scoring in the 3rd with 2nd/3rd no outs.

 

I don't know who to blame, so I'm going with Riverbrian.  Somehow, it's his fault.

[Aggies7]

This is going to be a soul crushing loss without some unforeseen heroics.

I'm sitting with Stringer at the game yesterday... Upton at the plate for his first at-bat and I tell String. "I wouldn't have paid a dollar for Upton... I don't like him as a player" 

 

Boom

 

Upton Hits a rocket to the Upper (Middle) Deck in LF. 

 

I continue on talking to Stringer "This guy is worth every penny... the Tigers got a steal signing this guy"

That's where it is? I always thought it was next to the any key.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Mauer is going to be a 9th inning hero.  You just wait and see.

RB usually has something to do with it.

[hybridbear]

Twins should pinch hit now with Nuñez & then let Murphy catch the 9th.

Well, you know what they say...go to a ball game and you're likely to see something you've never seen before.

PH for Zuke??  Ha.

 

You're new here, aintcha?

Yeah... It is my fault.

 

Terry Ryan read my posts and said... Nope... I'm going to do it my way. 

 

I wasn't convincing enough

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

It might be time to give Polanco a couple starts out at short.

[glunn]

I would like to see the Twins use this year's draft pick on the best catcher available. I understand the reasons for picking the best player available and no longer care.

I like Escobar... I'm glad he's a Twin but both of those drops cost us a run each time. 

 

 

[diehardtwinsfan]

I'd start him at 2nd actually.  I think Dozier needs a 15 day mental break on the DL.

Leicester City is gonna win the Prem, so we've got that going for us.

Even in the worst of situations, you can always find something positive to say in there

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Nicely done Santana

[Aggies7]

The continued swinging and missing is wonderful. I'm seeing lots of improvement in our offense

I'm with you... I was searching Sunday Night for the best College Catcher in the 2016 Draft. 

 

One from Clemson and One from Miami (Fla) depending on who came up with the Mock but they were later 1st round projections so the Twins man have to improve to get one.

Don't you go Jinxing this thing.
