What, you mean like in the 8th inning on Saturday?

Yeah, he came through there and I'm not saying he's hopeless in those situations, but he couldn't get the ball on the ground (with his speed they aren't gonna turn two) and he couldn't hit it deep enough to get the runner home. There aren't many players who are nails in those situations and I don't think Buck is there at this point.

Somebody enlighten me. Say the Twins take a lead in the bottom of 6 here but don't complete the half inning before the game is stopped. Do the Twins get the win or is the inning wiped out because it wasn't completed?

 

And don't say yes.

So we're not supposed to answer your question?

They'd win in that scenario going ven they're the home squad.  Not positive that would be the case if they were the visiting team though.

Winder probably would have been much more poised and effective in a second inning.

Thank God Baldelli did not think so.

That's what I thought at first as well. But then I had second thoughts when I realized that it's not like the bottom of the 9th where the game ends the moment the lead run scores.

Umm…is that THE David Price I see? Blast from the past y’all

Right, I follow the logic.  But if the game is called, it's a legal game since 4.5 innings have been played.  They wouldn't have to finish the inning in that case.

[RpR]

Jeffers big moment, blech.

[Nine of twelve]

Rocco yelling, "That's a gol darn ball!" Or something like that.

Get a base hit with RISP for the Twins: Impossible

Pagan pitching during Holy Week is interesting...

Add the accent and it isn't objectionable.

Cody Bellinger woof. What a drop off from his 2019 MVP season. Yikes.

[twinssporto]

I was an official Pagan fan! 

[RpR]

Yep pull speedy Celestino and let Kiriloff go  chugging after the ball.

[Mill1634]

Pagan is extremely lucky Taylor only tripled after that PA

Only pronounced that way in Europe.

Must have made the appropriate offerings or sacrifices earlier.

Only if one did not flunk sixth grade grammar.

And by Twins announcers.

Stonehenge is burning. That kid can really pitch.

[RpR]

It is thunder and lighting up here in mid-minnesota and last I checked Saints game was on rain delay.

[RpR]

Windshear are fighting back from a 8-6 deficit.

[Aggies7]

I’m trying not to single out individual players as much this year but my god, the miguel sano experience just needs to end at this point

[LewFordLives]

At least Sano hasn't struck out today!

[IndianaTwin]

Does anyone know if Google Translate has a Gladden-to-English option? If so, could you check to see if “Dabronski” means Dombrowski?

[RpR]

Buxton strikes (out) again.

[RpR]

Hmm, the Dodger stole their first bases of the Season against the dreaded Jeffers.

[stringer bell]

Don't like the Twins chances of keeping it 1-1 here.

Jeffers isn't good throwing out base stealers, but those three stolen bases were 99.9% on Winder.

Yeah... I just don't see the value in waiting two months until he breaks out (assuming this is going like the 2021 version of himself) where he's a -1.0 WAR player during the slump and then he hits well enough to make it appear like it was a successful season. The early games count too!
