Nice battle by Polanco there too. Can't keep this offense down too long right now.

Tell Arreaz 

No doubter on that one and the bat flip was pretty awesome

Arraez has grown into his 1B shoes

Because of replay, he must be called out. But I don’t think that was the original intent of replay. I think Mauers so called foul ball at Yankee stadium was the kind of thing they were determined to fix. 

Not gonna argue over this, just gonna say, if he was out, and he was, and called safe, which he was, that's precisely what replay was intended to fix. 

"Out by a little bit" is out. Overslid the bag is overslid the bag. 

They can fix improper fair/foul calls too.

Makes Strikeout Sano expendable eh?

[LVTwinsfan]

Another Twins batting champ

[LVTwinsfan]

Rally killer

[rwilfong86]

And another out on the basepaths by Miranda. 

 

[CRF]

No Buxton...no Correa? Whadda we need those two stiffs for?

[cHawk]

What the hell is Kevin Cash doing?

[ashbury]

Carnac: "The Grand Salami."

Ed: "The Grand Salami."  Oh mystic seer of a thousand sights, what can be the meaning of this cryptic message?

Carnac: Your guess is as good as... wait a minute, no it won't be.

Ed:  I am sure you are correct in that assessment as well, oh payer of a thousand alimony checks.

Carnac: Thank you for... wait a minute.  May the fleas of a thousand sand beaches infest your banana hammock.

Ed: An image our viewers would like to forget.  "The Grand Salami." Will you please tell us the mystery question?

Carnac:  "What did Luis Arraez build for himself at the pre-game buffet?"

[LVTwinsfan]

Second and third and nobody out. Ok

[Doctor Gast]

Way to go Miranda! I applaud his spunk but with no outs I'd stay at 2B.

[LVTwinsfan]

Why would they challenge that 

[2wins87]

Not sure second and third with no outs would have been better for the Rays. Probably trying to give his reliever time to warm up partly.

I'm not sure if that was on him or Tommy Watkins but it still sucks.

He ought to know he's not fast. Not a terrible decision just not very good.

[CRF]

We need to get a guru in here to teach ALL these guys some base running fundamentals.

You don’t want to make the first out at third, so I would call that a terrible decision. Being overly aggressive is not smart

[ashbury]

Chi Chi goes for more innings than Baz.  Who had money on that proposition?

[Parfigliano]

Who else doesnt think 5 carries the day for the Twins?

Seriously may be the dumbest thing I'ver ever heard come out of his mouth. Makes zero sense to me but alas, I'm not a MLB manager or coach.

Maybe not, but I feel a lot better about 5 than 0.

Chi Chi's got this.  He's playing for another week of major league meal money.

[mrtwinsfan]

I Love Arreaz, and he is holding his own at 1b, to me it seems to lock Alex K to st paul for ?? , both being l.h. not ideal either, Luis has to play i get it, just trying to figure out how to Maximize our talent and positional strength, Kiriloff in time is gonna be a good one, thoughts??

Ryan, Gray, Smeltzer, Chi Chi...oh yeah, let's go!

The last week has been weird that way eh?

Let's get at least 3 more
