I want to get behind Jax, but he doesn't look like he has MLB stuff... he's 26 and has already been passed up in the previous 2 Rule 5 drafts. I don't see much upside here. 

Best spot one inning relief, low leaverage.

Umpire was doing a good job, now calling strikes out of the zone.

So…when active rosters expand to about 30? ?

Had Arraez caught the ball, then Sano would have had an easy out and it would have been a 1 run homer.

What about the other 18 homer’s, Jax needs to get better

LOL, true but his game should only be 2-0 now.

You’re talking about the game and I’m talking about Jax. You’re right about the game, to me these games are nothing more than auditions

[RpR]

Arraez strikes again.

[Danchat]

This team's fielding needs a "come to Jesus" moment. Just too many mental errors for guys who should know better. Also, Arraez is not an average fielder at 3B. 

[LVTwinsfan]

SMH, two mistakes on one play

[RpR]

Home run coming?

He’s got no business at third

Clear that Gordon at short is really bad for team defense. Everyone else plays like crap must be his fault.

If we're lucky maybe we'll get to see Astudillo pitch!

[LVTwinsfan]

Arraez playing third reminds me of an old comedy routine where the doctor asks the father if he wants to cut the cord and the father says what Arraez should say to the manager when he tells him he’s at third. “What, dont you have somebody more qualified?”

[RpR]

Twins have one hit, Sano , my oh my.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Albers!

(I can get excited about something tonight, can't i?)

[RpR]

Yep, the ump has crazy eyes.

Yeah he’s great

[RpR]

Strike out , day late.

[Danchat]

Moran didn't look great, but with a real defense he probably only gives up 1 run there. 

[RpR]

Where did Moran come from?

I don't know how to post memes, but if I could I'd post one of a dumpster!

[LVTwinsfan]

That ump won’t give Kepler anything tonight

They won't get shut-out.

[LVTwinsfan]

[Rosterman]

I just don't understand. Not happy enough that Moran go four outs over two innings, but bring him out for a third. He's a young lefty. You have a BIG bullpen.

[RpR]

Two of Albers pitches were in the same place, one a strike, one a ball.
