If Gordon had stolen 2nd base we'd have a run now.

2 out, fast runner, not much power at thr plate. Why WOULDN’T you take a shot at stealing 2nd there?

But if he'd been thrown out, it would still be 3-0 now.

I feel a little bad about the song I posted earlier.  Here is something much newer, and IMO good.  It helps to like punk rock a little.  Beware, the lyrics are suggestive.

I hear Mary Ingalls ringing the class bell.  Once again, the Twins getting schooled!

 

[Aggies7]

I think we all expected the SP to regress but did it all have to happen at once?

Ridiculously bad managing. 

Yeah, I want off Roccos wild ride.

Going to get swept at home by the Astros, the Twins are still just pretenders, not contenders

The Twins have some not-so-superficial issues, but how about everyone take five steps away from the edge of the Stone Arch Bridge??

Everyone older than 35:

I agree on the sentiment of letting Gordon run in that situation, but the fact is they're only succeeding on about 45% of their steal attempts. Gordon is 0-2. Outs are too precious to take a 50-50 chance of succeeding.

I thought Polanco pulled up at second too early and the rf had to chase the ball back to the infield, maybe he gets third if he runs hard all the way, I guess he’s too important to run  hard

[PDX Twin]

Miranda swung at three balls and missed them all.

[Mill1634]

Jose Miranda looks over matched. Royce Lewis does not. Royce should be kept around when Correa returns and get some reps at 3rd.

[USAFChief]

One weak AB after another.

Miranda is filling in for Sano after all

Scotty Smalls lack of s'mores knowledge is not indicative of children being able to enjoy summertime snacks.

Why don’t you two get a room 

[Aggies7]

Here comes rocco to try and talk someone else into an injury 

[stringer bell]

It seems the Twins aren't getting bludgeoned, so much as having a pillow put over their face and smothered.

Death by a thousand cuts

[sampleSizeOfOne]

A timely double play here, and a run of our own, and we could be back in business before you could regale us with what peter piper did.

 

Er i guess it didn't happen.
