Game Thread: Rangers @ Twins 6:10 PM 8/20/2021

[CRF]

Buxton hit rockets to LF the last two times up that were caught. We coulda used that one. 

[AussieG]

Smeltzer working the 6th in a 1-1 game?

[mrtwinsfan]

Smeltzer, was getting lit up in st paul,  best we could do  ??

[RpR]

Ah Twins style fielding returns, I though Miranda at Third was bad enough but it was not the worst.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Lucky they didn't pay for more poor defense. 

[Aggies7]

Unsettling contact against ol smeltz 

[Aggies7]

He’s safe, won’t get overturned 

[HokieRif]

Given our recent replay luck there’s no chance this gets overturned.

Screwed again by NY.

dang

[Aggies7]

No respect for cave’s arm, but not sure why you’d cut it

[RpR]

Get Miranda out of the infield.

[h2oface]

Just leave him in Baldy..... we see it, but do you? Wrong guy.

[IndyTwinsFan]

As usual, that tie didn't last long.  AARGH.

Gotta disagree. I didn’t see any angle that showed he was out 

[mrtwinsfan]

I Repeat, why Smeltzer, ??????

It looked like it was going off target.  Runner was going to score so my guess is he hoped to catch the runner rounding 2nd.

That doesn't matter. NY has "Extra" angles"

[cHawk]

A highly low-scoring game, to say the least. That's an oxymoron.

Most of the time someone is yelling at the cutoff man to cut or let it go. Probably not Miranda's decision. Sanchez I bet.

Didn’t look like it was off target, but it would have bounced a couple times, it was not a good throw

Horrible throw

[Aggies7]

The Vikings better protect Kirk cousins like no quarterback has ever been protected before, because their backups are ba-rutal 

[h2oface]

We really needed Buxton to drive those runners on second and third in. Close means nothing.
