And we strand the lead off double at 3rd!

[AceWrigley]

I thought for sure Schoop would score.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Wait... Short at short?

I approve!

[stringer bell]

I don’t know why they don’t run for Sanó. Gordon could play center, Kirilloff first.

Or Celestino run if they wanted the better defender in center.

Looks like this has become a game ... at work so just picking up on gameday

Indeed, bases loaded and all!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Walp.

Bases no longer loaded.

[Unwinder]

Arraez is so dramatic. Fun to watch him whether he does well or not.

[Unwinder]

simmons yes

[Unwinder]

This has become a really nice game.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Bases are empty.

 

I guess the game is less exciting...

I'll take it.

[PDX Twin]

The Tigers are out-Twinning the Twins.

Anyone else agree? I sure do.

 

I agree, to a point.  since the Twins are going to be sellers, the guys they are playing are in a way auditioning to be traded.  If you noticed, as soon as Donaldson was ready to play, they started him.  

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Almost there...

Just hold for a few more pitches...

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Winnah!

They got off Target... Field, that is.

[Squirrel]

So ... how did they score 2 runs on a wild pitch? That must've been some wild pitch ...

The catcher mishandled the ball and it wound up in the dugout. Arraez, who had gone to third on the WP, did not score on the WP but rather on the E-2.

[AceWrigley]

It's always fun when the other team plays Botch-A-Rama more than the Twins.

We should hire John McEnroe as our pitching coach! He could also go out and yell at the umpires!!!!

Yeah,  but you don't want your coach booted every game in the first inning... ?

Exactly. There are two full months to fill a lineup with question marks after the deadline. Right now, it’s about showcasing trade pieces.
