Looks like they just should have started Jax.

For some reason, the shift dictated by the bench always has Polanco in the outfield, which makes no sense to me, but they do it all the time. 

Yep, they don’t even consider that he can’t make plays from there, great strategy

[h2oface]

Nick Gordon is going to force himself in this lineup. At least somebody wants to play! It would be nice if Donaldson caught what Gordon has.

[LVTwinsfan]

Not smart

[h2oface]

WHY DO OUR BASERUNNERS KEEP DOING CRAP LIKE THAT!?!?

Lol, post didn’t age well

[shortround81]

Why are you running, rook?

Diaz probably signalled him to run..... 

[LVTwinsfan]

Rookie mistake, he’ll figure it out

[h2oface]

Should be tied now.....

He’d like to catch a bit of Gordon’s 400 BABiP, I’m sure. JD’s is around 250. But to Gordon’s credit, he’s not popping the ball up...lots of decently hit GB’s along with some LD’s, too.

[Danchat]

I don't think I've ever seen an outfielder attempt a slide kick to stop the ball from rolling... this isn't soccer! But thanks for the run, as it essentially erases Gordon's mistake.

Arraez, a single, double and homer away from the cycle

Now we are talking!

How so? Simmons would have been out at first if Gordon stayed at 2B.

[downunder twins fan]

Kiriloff! that's the way to do it.

Oh yeah, completely forgot, Bremer was right, that’s why he gets the big bucks

Two or three (maybe 4?) more PA to see if he can get himself a Kenny Landreaux!

Apparently, I’m too old to remember Span’s. ? But, yes.

Time to get some outs

[jkcarew]

Jax like a tuna and mayo sandwich, it’s ok, but you can’t leave it out in the sun for more than 20 minutes.

[LVTwinsfan]

Ok moving on

Nice short hand goal for TB earlier 

[LVTwinsfan]

We might have a barnburner brewing

[h2oface]

.156 hitter. Can Jax get the third out?
