And this isn’t a reverse jinx, I absolutely expect to not score here

What!!!!!!! Donaldson jogging around the bases?  He was close to third base as the ball being fielded.  Unacceptable....jacked hamstring or not.

The ball was at the wall when he reached third. Completely ridiculous to not have scored,

yes, indeed. thanks for the correction.  I get so pissed I can't see straight. LOL

[Aggies7]

$21 million dollars is an awful lot of money to pay a guy who can’t run the bases 100%

I wasn’t correcting you, just agreeing.

Indeed it is. Shocking return effort-wise

Inflation?

[Aggies7]

That didn’t go as far as I thought it would. But yay!

[Cap'n Piranha]

SANO!!!!!!!!

[Nine of twelve]

In the midst of gloom Miguel Sano is a huge beacon of light.

[RickOShea]

Sano covered Donaldson's ass on that one.

What’s the win probability with a 4-0 lead in the first of a 7 inning game?

According to fangraphs, 87.3%

About the same as a 4-0 lead in the third inning of an actual game.

[RickOShea]

Well, Twins offense closed for the day.  Time for the pitching and our gold glove defense to take over.

[Aggies7]

Here we go!

Berrios, the consummate disappointment

[RickOShea]

Is that not 3 starts in a row for Berrios, that he's given up a first inning hr?

 

[RickOShea]

Is that Rendon or Curly Bill from 'Tombstone'?

Yes.

[Aggies7]

Berrios, smh

[Aggies7]

Absolutely dreadful baseball. Butera, hitting .100, drives in a run and our CF launches it 20’ over the cut off man, 

[Cap'n Piranha]

Berrios doing all he can to torpedo his trade value.

[RickOShea]

Twins are making an instructional video for little leaguers of how not to play the game.  Commentary by 'The choker-Donaldson", and  "Mr Personality-Rocco Baldelli"

[Cap'n Piranha]

Garver with the doink!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Garver !!!!
 

More insurance run(s) please.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I wondered what makes poles pesky, until i realized not all were, just the ome.
