Uh oh, Twins are done ****ing around. Kyle Garlick is in the game.

Looks like they DFAd Dereck Rodriguez, who was just called on in the previous game to pitch 4 innings in relief, the first three of which were scoreless. That's gotta sting a little.

This is when a pitching change might be considered

So Duran going a 2nd inning means no back-to-back day possible for him. Hope we don't need him tomorrow.

Exactly......one run game tomorrow and we turn to........Duffey???

[Guest]

What the heck is going on with Luis!?!?

[USAFChief]

Dunno why everyone questions Arraez' glove at third. He came within, like, a foot or so of getting leather on that.

[Brock Beauchamp]

BREAKING: Luis Arraez not a good third baseman

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Arraez is really a terrible infielder......could he actually be worse in the outfield????

[Mill1634]

Oh

[USAFChief]

uffda.

[Danchat]

There were some advanced fielding stats that claimed Arraez was an average to above average fielding 3B last year... I didn't think that was the case and he's been absolutely brutal so far. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Unlike Yankee Stadium, at least this stadium has the excuse of being 110 years old to explain its stupid dimensions.

[Mill1634]

Kepler makes that catch if he's in RF still

Crazy, right? Who would’ve thought?

[LVTwinsfan]

Why is it a must that Duran finish this inning? Is it easier for me to see what’s going on from my couch?  I would have changed pitchers after the second double.

It was a four run lead. i don't think there's anything wrong with letting the kid try to work through it.

THESE ****ING CENSORS

[USAFChief]

No worries, Rogers for the save.

[chpettit19]

I'm working so only half watching, did that HR land basically on the wall, but like 15 feet behind Garlick? Like if he went to the right spot he could've just put his glove up and caught it or did I just catch a glimpse of a weird replay?

[tony&rodney]

That fly ball was a perfect example of why a really good outfield is important. Garlick should have caught that one.

I would have pulled him and I pretty much posted that, and possibly it would still be a 4 run lead

From the radio description, this didn't age well.

Just goes to show that advance stats are sometime worth a pile of ?

I just noticed that he’s not on the roster that I have printed out here. This must be a typo…

[Mabster45]

Why do I feel like the Twins will find a way to lose this 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Duffey. coming in.....God help us.

I think Rocco made the right choice starting Luis at third
