Too bad Arraez couldn't make it to third on Miranda's hit.

[LVTwinsfan]

I asked for three, I guess they’ll get it in the ninth

NO one said that but it seems to have entered your mind.

Our old nemesis, RISP, 2 outs

I'm not watching, just listening, did our baserunning prowess cost us?

[Mike Sixel]

[mrtwinsfan]

SHOULD OF BEEN THERE

Same here.  The hit was to right, and Arraez isn't the fastest guy in the majors, and I don't know if the subsequent fly to left was deep enough (I think Baddoo's arm is Bad-doo though), so I was hoping someone would pipe up to clarify.

You say that at least 6 times a day, bud.

Bringing up Sanchez is just like making a big trade for a starter.

Or at least a little trade.

Didn’t Candelaria used to pitch for the Red Sox? Glad to see him still in the league trying to hit fastballs lol

[lukeduke1980]

So Buxton bats in the 9th?

It was not deep enough to advance Arraez to 3rd.

Duran for the top of the ninth in a tie game.  Not Duffey.  Rocco's pulling all the right levers.

[Jerr]

Ok, walk this off!

 

[twins_89]

Only 10 pitches for Duran, hopefully that means he can pitch the 10th if needed.

Pittsburgh 

[Mike Sixel]

Of. Sigh. It really isn't that hard. 

[Aggies7]

Utter filthiness from Duran

I wasn't so much questioning the baserunning decision, with the actual situation, as to wonder if it was deep enough to get a faster runner to third.

Appears to have been the right call.  Now let's finish this!

[nicksaviking]

This is a Sanchez game. Gary’s going yard.

Ah yes, the old Pittsburgh Canaries, scourge of the Allegheny League.

 

My eyes, my eyes!

[RpR]

Could be Contreras chance to be the games hero

[USAFChief]

Gladden says Duran is "working his way into a more high leverage kind of guy."

 

Got to get up prettttttty early in the afternoon to get one past the dazzle man.

About the only way it would work is if Buxton hits for Sanchez, and then Hamilton replaces Byron and takes over catching (at which point there is no one left on the bench).
