Game Thread--Twins @ Royals 5-20/22 7:10 PM

Agree. Great play to tag the runner there instead of throwing to 2nd. And then a good throw for the double play.

I wish Angel Hernandez was wearing camouflage.

Or rather I should say I’d rather not see him.

[bighat]

Pretty poor AB by Correa there - put that ball pretty much anywhere in play and Buxton's going to score. Picked a pretty bad time to strike out.

[USAFChief]

I get a kick out of Gladden. He's so terrible.

 

One of my favorite Gladden things: Provus will ask him a simple question and Gladden will ramble for 20 seconds without ever coming within 100 yards of addressing the question.

That ball was definitely off the plate, but remember it's Angel Hernandez

I like gladden for that exact reason.  It entertains me.

Though,there are times when I'd actually like to get a real answer.

Another reminder that we are giving AAAA swingman Devin Smeltzer this start over the teams top 5 prospect Josh Winder.

At least Smeltzer has been serviceable and has a shot to get you 5 innings.

Archer still being in the rotation over Winder bothers me far more.

[mrtwinsfan]

Not to often on here People comment on a bad a.b. from Correa, The kid definitive has a great approach, , Can i propose a Trade for Lewis and Larnach  for Garlick and Miranda , Wonder if the Saints would approve ? 

[USAFChief]

I remember when Carlos Santana Rosannadanna used to KILL the Twins.

Bundy bothers me even more.

Is that some sort of Santana and Toto supergroup or something?  

Cause I'd definitely be in for tickets to that show!

Yep, I like Smeltz better than either Archer or Bundy right now. I really have no problem with him starting here and saving innings for all of the rest of the rotation.

And nice tag, and nice umpiring.

Wow, Polanco's making plays out there and Celestino makes a Gold Glove caliber putout! Gilberto is the real deal out there, great speed and great arm.

Kirilloff three more hits tonight. That is 11 in his last five games. Tonight, all singles.

I've either had too much scotch to enjoy this, or not enough.  I can't see decide which.

Hits are hits.  The power will come.  He's just got to get used to the new normal.
