Miranda has to get off the bag to keep that run from scoring like Kaat just said.

Torkelson made a good play. I don’t think it was as difficult as the play Miranda tried to make. 

I’ll add that Miranda needed to come off the bag on Urshela’s throw. 

[CRF]

Yep, I think it's safe to say that Miranda needs a little bit of work at 1st.

I've seen enough of Miranda at 1b.

Painful to watch, I wonder when they'll be calling up Kirilloff?

That's gonna be an ugly series. I think the Twins may be at .500 by the end of next week 

It won't be too long before Chicago passes them.

More inexperience showing, 

[h2oface]

A walk, passed ball, and Miranda playing out of position at first. Another run. Even with all players except Urshela and Sanchez playing out of position, I would have had Miranda playing at second and Arraez at first. At least Miranda would have been given a start at his favored position in this odd as can be lineup today.

[Aggies7]

13 hits against this lineup. Yikes

With TA out I think the White Sox may not look too sharp either.

Yup and some want the Twins to bring up more rookies to learn what they should in the AAA.

Can you call him TA? TA-TA TA

Let's hope that plane lands soon haha

Miranda bad throw to the pitcher costs. Bad footwork.  Miranda not come off the bag to take that throw and save a run.  Miranda is choky on defense. Larnach pitched in with a bone-headed base running play to cost a run.

Yep, those blunders are the difference in the game right now

[h2oface]

Our DHs today are hitting .193 and .203

I thought Designated Hitter meant you used someone who hits? ?

[rwilfong86]

Another first pitch swing. Game over. 

[Aggies7]

Loading June swoon

[Danchat]

Darn it, I fell for the Bremer-gasm there. Thought we had a tie game.

Also, why did Royce Lewis have to go to AAA to learn to play the other positions while Miranda was forced to learn to play 1B on the fly? Doesn't seem like it's working out for him, he profiled more as a 3B/2B.

[Squirrel]

 

[h2oface]

Garlick just another few feet short, just like the other day to end the game with the bases loaded. Both long flies ended the game but almost tied them in the 9th.

Twins now have lost 4 of the last 6 games....... and to the Tigers and Royals.

[RpR]

Maybe they can get Cruz back.

Need? Whether or not anyone agrees, there was more need at 1st than anywhere else. And Miranda wasn't forced to learn 1st ... he's played first before, albeit not a lot, but he has. He's played all over the infield

Sure ...

No big deal, a couple stars got their rest today and that’s all that matters

One of the issues with Miranda is he isn't a 2nd baseman or 3rd baseman any more than he's a 1st baseman.

[Doctor Gast]

With what we threw out there today, it didn't turn out too bad but still a loss.

[h2oface]

They scored the Urshela throw an error. Another one that is really on Miranda.

At least he is hitting now!

[CRF]

I honestly don't know who it could be with this group...but someone has to put this team on their back and carry us for a couple week stretch. Two guys doing it would be off the charts huge. We just need somebody to get white hot and start hitting the damn ball all over the yard. Right now, no one is really doing anything. If that doesn't happen, I think we're in for a crash.
