I was impressed too, I didn’t think they would do much

[Doctor Gast]

Contreras must of woke up this line up! If he can homer I should atleast hit the ball

"We are proud of the team we have put together......."  self flatulation by Falvey. Very proud of himself. I guess he hasn't been watching the games? And the pitching?

I don't know -- would you prefer he say, "We did some things, but I still think we suck"?

What do you expect him to say? 

[LVTwinsfan]

Speaking of Manning…..Peyton and Eli is the only way to watch Monday Night Football, I hope they bring it back

[Brock Beauchamp]

The Tigers are really bad at baseball. 

[Irishman]

Gordon, please hit GS!

[Squirrel]

Lol … did you see that okay at 3rd? Did candelario really try and take Luis’ hand off the base?

[LVTwinsfan]

That might be a granny

Or are you suggesting that Falvey ate too many bean burritos? 

[RickOShea]

I saw Killebrew at the Met, barely miss a grand slam on a ball ruled foul.  Next pitch he hit the base of the black back drop in center field for the grand slam.

Helluva gamble there by Arraez, make 'em throw it. They know that Baddoo has a bad arm and not very accurate. Great job being aggressive!

I thought they would get one or two players, but I was ready to be underwhelmed. I’m happy about it

omg, that was lucky that that throw was bad

[Brock Beauchamp]

Luis Arraez is ****ing hilarious. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Arraez with some baserunning.

 

And we threw out a runner?

 

Are these the bizaro twins?

They’re about as good at playing baseball as actual tigers.

Pujols and Cabrera both have a stolen base this year, Urshela none.

Urshela has GIDP 15 (16 with today?) times, Pujols (8) and Cabrera (7) - 15 together.

He seems to have a point.

Definitely agree that Gordon needs to steal there, or at least try, with Urshela at the plate. 

There’s a lot more factors than speed figured in to GIDP and stolen bases. Urshela is not a fast runner, but he’s not alone on the Twins in that regard. 

[IndianaTwin]

Was that back-to-back plays where Arraez avoided a tag? It's hard to see on the radio.

Yes i diid?

[stringer bell]

Good base running by a non-speedy player.
