Game Thread: Twins @ Yankees, 5/3/19, 6:05 CT

[Aggies7]

This game has the pace of cold pudding

[Don Walcott]

Yanks making their share of mistakes tonight.

[Aggies7]

Gross to only get one run out of that

[Don Walcott]

THat would have cleared the bases of Gardner overran it

I thought that at first, but adjusted for having Cruz on first.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I can just tell this is going to be one of those unlucky games the Twins simply won’t win, despite the offense looking adequate.

[Aggies7]

Ol’ Gibby don’t got it tonight

[Mill1634]

This is a poor game of baseball

[FlauerPauer]

This is the time where you need to beat the Yankees. Not the same team the Twins will see later in the year.

Ah, breaking out the old anti-jinx early in the game. Hope it works.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Nah, not even an anti-jinx. This just looks like one of THOSE games. Not even a blowout, just ugly baseball from both sides that doesn’t want to go your way.

Sure doesn't.

Even better as an unintended jinx breaker!

[Mill1634]

Big double play. If you're Rocco, do you send Gibby out for the fourth? He's only at 70ish pitches, and has only given up 2 runs, but he clearly doesn't have his best stuff. I think yes, but wouldn't be mad if he didn't. I think you have to try to get four and some change out of Gibby just so the pen isn't ruined for the next two games. 

[Don Walcott]

Must be something wrong with Paxton.

[Aggies7]

How is holder getting more warmup pitches? That’s some BS he was warming in the bottom of the inning

It’s an ugly stretch of ballgames with little rest. You have to send him back out and hope he figures it out.

[Don Walcott]

Maybe we can get Eddie into this game?

[Don Walcott]

Hate the Drake!

[Aggies7]

Haha what an awful call by the HP umpire

[mrtwinsfan]

terrible call on schoop

[Don Walcott]

If Gibson gets those strike calls, this is a tie game.

[Don Walcott]

Hate the Drake.

[Mill1634]

All check swings should HAVE to be called by the base umpire. ZERO reason for the home plate umpire to make that call

[mrtwinsfan]

Cause its in new york

[Diesel]

Gardenhire would have been ejected already. Terrible umpiring

[MNT1996]

I like Rocco, but man oh man did I want him to pull a Gardy with that call on Schoop. Let the ump know he made a crap call and fire the guys up.

[Aggies7]

Are you kidding me. Best team in baseball

[bighat]

What in the heck is happening. Awful defense.

[BoofBonser]

I don't think 14 year olds would mess that play up once in 10 tries... embarrassing
