Nice to see runs being scored without a HR being involved.  HR is a bonus, but quality at bats and putting the ball in play for defenses to make plays is sound baseball

Can you forward this to Byron Buxton,  and its not meant as Criticism 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

The Twins are playing with a lot of daunt right now! ?

Bremer is a goblin who can jinx batters.

Too bad they couldn’t add another run or more with Polanco and Buxton up, but 3-1 is better than 1-1.

This Twins team is dauntless.  This kind of response after two walkoff losses is magnificent...and something to keep in mind regardless of the slumps or bad losses yet to come.

Good against bad teams except for Cleveland and maybe Detroit

I'm confused... how much math did you think there was going to be?

[stringer bell]

One more good inning of hitting could get Lynn out of there. I’ve seen him settle down after rough starts before. 

[Cap'n Piranha]

If the Twins are good at strategy, they will deliberately look to take pitches this inning.  Goal is to put Lynn on 80 pitches by inning's end.

Button? Button, button, whose got the button?

(Sorry, just had to. Auto correct can be fun!)

Why would Gordon be auditioning for the Sox?

[RpR]

OOPS.

[Danchat]

Gameday is telling me Gordon reached 1st on an error, but was called out? That's not an error, is it?

[Parfigliano]

Baserunning?  I never heard of it.

[Cap'n Piranha]

The Sox fielding is pathetic.  Fortunately for them, the Twins baserunning is even more pathetic.  Honestly, why would Gordon think he could advance to second on a ball in shallow right field?

[Steve71]

Gordon has been watching the White Sox run the bases the last couple days, apparently....

[Tlaker]

So many Little League plays out there smh 

[LVTwinsfan]

This team is terrible on the bases

[MMMordabito]

Two stupids don't make a smart, guys.

The Sox committed an error on Gordon's routine ground ball to first.  Gordon stupidly thought he could stretch it to a double, realized he couldn't, but was too far off first, and so got thrown out trying to get back.

Miranda looks like he is 10 years old, such a babyface

Does Rocco’s computer have any YouTube videos on baseball fundamentals?

[Cap'n Piranha]

Jackie Robinson wouldn't have hit a check swing popout.

Yes.  By Gordon.  He's trying to create a new metric to track.

Maybe he could borrow some VHSs from the fossil managing the other team?

[James]

Alright.  Did some work and now it's time to listen to the game and "work".

Gordon hit a hard grounder that the first baseman couldn’t handle. I thought it would be called a hit, but the ball rolled into short right. Gordon thought he might make second, slipped and was thrown out trying to retreat to first. 

[wavedog]

Seems like the Sox catchers are batting about 1.000 against us this series

I picture La Russa sitting in a smoke filled film room with an old-school reel-to-reel projector.

I picture La Russa getting his diaper changed and being spoon fed mashed peas between innings.

Is that a joke about him being super old? Or about him being a whiney baby? Reader's choice.

[Winston Smith]

The Central is producing a lot of bad baseball this year.
