Simmons also hurt?  Why did Donaldson hit for him and why is Cave now running for Donaldson?

 

Not hurt. Donaldson is a better hitter than SImmons, and Donaldson can't really run.

The replay didn't look good. I thought, "hope he didn't break his knuckle."

Rordvedt is really stealing some of these calls.

You give bad umpiring too much credit

Edit:  oh yeah, it's only a 7 inning game!

 

Because he hit a double off the wall

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Coulombe time.

[Sousy]

So who's left to pitch the second game today? If this one goes to extras, might have to finish the second game with a pitching machine.

[RpR]

Well, well one player many love to hate and one whose is too often instant out are the offence so far, fantastic.

[PDX Twin]

Garver has been teaching the newbie to catch.

Maybe Baldelli is going to have suck it in and let a bp pitcher go long innings.

I vote for Tortuga. Maybe that's why he didn't start in the first game.

[RpR]

Well good thing that Alcala only did one inning, we might have won.

[LVTwinsfan]

Umpires will tell you that framing pitches is a myth, pretty much admitting that bad calls are totally on themselves.

Send in the Clowns

After Ryan’s injury winning or losing this game became irrelevant 

[RpR]

Arraez is greatly over rated.

If there's going to be a position player pitching... it's time for Rortvedt.

His fielding is a burden; although unless the Twins score one more run, he did not lose the game.

I’ve never heard anyone say he was a good defender, quite the opposite. But he is a good hitter

Well, yes...

 

But if there's one thing we do well in game thread, it is irrelevant.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Final out...

 

Let's go, Mr. Gordon!

Let's work on our efficiency and see if we can lose the 2nd game in 5 innings 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

See ya in a few hours... if i don't find nothing better to do.

 

Hope Mr. Ryan's injury isn't as bad as everyone thinks it is.
