Now that I've tuned in, watch the weak pop-ups begin to fly.

BOOOOOOOOO!!!

Donaldson is usually good for a pinch-hit double-play.   Let's see if he has something else up his sleeve.

Trailing by 4 put Burrows in , BRILLIANT!

Is this sarcasm? If so, what move would you have preferred he make?

[mnfireman]

That pitch was 3-4 inches outside.....

[Winston Smith]

Is there a good reason Rocco didn't pinch run for Jeffers?

[h2oface]

Diaz kills another rally. If you don't make them make a play, you never really know, you are just guessing.  Are we the only team that can rarely score from first on a double? Twice in one inning. Arraez and Jeffers.

Seriously. What does this team have to lose by being agressive now? Nothing. Nothing at all. But a lot to gain.

Garver had PH earlier in the game.  Astudillo was still on the bench though.

[mnfireman]

Simmons is only slightly faster than Jeffers and Astudillo is significantly slower than everybody......

Astudillo and Simmons are the only guys left on the bench. Jeffers is 22 percentile sprint speed, Tortuga is 8, Simmons is 31. So Simmons is slightly faster than Jeffers, but still not sure he scores from first on a double and you'd have emptied your bench (Astudillo would then have to replace Simmons at catcher).

[Brock Beauchamp]

Arraez is so much fun to watch when he has at least one and a half functioning legs. 

[wsnydes]

Ha!  What a way to end it.

[RpR]

Should have pinch hit Astudillo for Sano.

[h2oface]

The season series ends at 2 apiece, and Mahle breaking Buxton's hand.

[RpR]

Twins need a dual purpose pitcher.

Rooker is sinking back into this spring training level, Larnach got a surprise hit.

[Irishman]

Sano had two GIDP twice.     Baldelli needs to bench him!

Is that 4, then?

Since being recalled, going into today Rooker had a .931 OPS and had struck out more than one time in a game only once.

What i miss?
