I think they've lost three runners on the bases this game. Effectively turned a 9 inning game for their offense into 8.

And that one cost them a run

We need some insurance runs

I like Megill's stuff. Potential there.

Agree. He's definitely a better option than a few of our other stellar pen arms.

But most definitely not

Like Urshela the other day, I lost track of the count.

/ okay, he forgot the number of outs.  That involves counting.

Who do you suppose 

Fed, clothed and bathed young Matthew?

Um, Wisler's mother?

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??

Sano is looking like total trade bait come July....Do we even want to keep him around?

So the Twins don’t need Correa or Buxton, what a ridiculous statement

It'll be cheaper to just let him go. We'd have to pay some one to take him

Someone tried Carnac.

Did not go over real big.

Try again next game.

[rwilfong86]

Thielbar always makes me uneasy

Somehow define "good dad joke."

Oxymoronic.

Definitely need at least one more now, I don't trust any reliever with only a one run lead.

[mnfireman]

Good the pitchers can get these sub .150 hitters out.....

[bighat]

Caleb Theilbar isn't very good.

If this team even had an average pitching staff he'd be easily singled out as a weakness, but right now he's hiding behind guys like Duffey and Bundy.

[bighat]

I keep hearing Dick say that "the power will come" when he's talking about Celestino, but we've been waiting quite a while for him to show even a hint of pop in his bat.

Edit: ope, and he doubles.

[rwilfong86]

Aaaaand another out on the basepaths. I swear this has to be the worst base running team in baseball.

Then runs himself into an out at home.

[tony&rodney]

Good game thus far through six innings. The players on MLB teams are all pretty good or at least the best baseball players available. Celestino, Gordon, and Miranda are all worth a ticket.

Ope indeed!

That's a contact play. That's not on Celestino. 

[Aggies7]

Despise the contact play. Never understood just running into an out

Pretty standard strategy though. I get it. If it's not right at someone, it works.

[Aggies7]

Running into an out with your best hitter on deck makes no sense.

but polanco makes it irrelevant
