Why is Jeffers catching?  Sanchez threw a runner out, odds of Jeffers doing that half way between none and next to none.

It's pretty rare to see a catcher catch both games of a double header.

A split was always the expected outcome in this DH. 

 

Twins 6, Guardians 4

PTC: Polo

Made chicken tacos tonight. Felt like living dangerously without an official win yet.

I had bacon cheeseburger pizza.  Does that mean I'm pessimistic or just playing it safe?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hey, we got a base runner!

1 more than them.

[wsnydes]

Garlick gets on in front of Arraez.

I think it means you were hungry?

Nice to see Winder back in a Twins uniform! Earn your spot back tonight big guy.

I can see why you'd think that.

And you're not wrong.

Yes 

I didn't have the fixings to grill me a burger, so I ordered me one in pizza form.  

Kinda wish I was sitting on my deck listening to the game given how nice it is out, but I'm pretty comfy in recliner at the moment.

[wsnydes]

Sigh.

I've seen enough walks for today thank you very much.

[Mill1634]

That's a tough play but Jose probably should've caught that

[LVTwinsfan]

Error

[wsnydes]

Defense.  Unimportant.?

[RpR]

Hopefully Arraez slump ends,  this game.

[LVTwinsfan]

Winder is a great name for a starting pitcher

[wsnydes]

Good way to start the inning.

That’s a hitters name

Hurrah for Jeffers.

Agreed.  He missed his true calling.

How 'bout another base knock Gilberto?

How about a strikeout on 3 pitches, swinging at balls that would shatter the top floor windows on the IDS tower.

[Vanimal46]

Would love to hear the background behind why Gonzalez’s walk up music is the SpongeBob intro?

That was not a base knock, Gilberto...

Not a fan, personally.

[wsnydes]

Nice to see Winder working out of things so far.

From Yahoo! Sports:

Gonzalez has been a step up for the lineup every time his walk-up song — the SpongeBob SquarePants theme song, which he said he chose because it's a kids game and kids love that song — plays at Progressive Field. And he has quickly become a player to watch as the Guardians continue to deploy a roster that is younger than the average Triple-A team.

YESSS!!!!
