Nice double. 

Terrible try for a triple. You're the tying run, Nick.

If he runs hard out of the box it’s a stand up triple

Which is both true and beside the point.

You have to be 100 percent sure you're going to make it.

I literally logged on to see if Chief said something about Gordon going for the triple.

I win, I guess.

Team has a lot of heart, just not much brain power and they’re led by someone with even less brain power

Am I wrong?

It's rocco's fault (sarcasm)

I’d say you’re decisive in an indecisive situation. Definitely not wrong but also in a split second decision, Gordon wasn’t wrong either.

I'm sorry that's is just a ridiculous, brainless comment

Gordon should have stopped at second but that’s beside the point. He should have ran hard and got an easy triple

He did just put Megill in instead of Duran or Lopez who are both rested with a day off tomorrow. Not the brightest choice, but that’s just another day at the office for Rocks for Brains Baldelli

It's not 100 percent, incontrovertibly wrong to get thrown out at 3rd? Ending the inning. As the tying run, no less?

 

D'okay.

No other team tries to stretch that into a triple, down 1 and 2 outs. Just another day for the Twins

Yeah and it's Baldelli's fault, got it

[USAFChief]

This is where the stolen base would be handy.

You serious Clark?

[LVTwinsfan]

Why don’t the Twins fans boo Alex Cora

[LVTwinsfan]

Yeah that sucks, made it interesting ?‍♂️

[AceWrigley]

Carlos . . . really?

I thought I knew most of the features of the site, but how do you figuratively log on?

Dammn  

[USAFChief]

Ouch.

Couple of mental errors by young Nicky G on the throw from Leon and on the bases. Hope he learns. 

 

Megill pulled it out that's only going to be good for his confidence going forward.

Isn't it automatic that bases loaded with no one out means no runs?

For us it is.  Seemingly far less so for our opponents. 

**Please Disregard.  Site has started acting kind of weird on my phone and isn't letting me do anything until I respond to a 2-hour old message that I had no intention of responding to.  Sorry!

Oh!

I know this one...

And in the end.... it is Arraez and Correa that don't come through with the game in their hands at the end of the game in the 9th. The 35 million dollar man and the leading hitter. It was right there. Bottom of the lineup set them up.... and crickets.

Tough loss.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sorry i nodded off there.

 

This one is on me. I'm sure we pull through if i coulda but stayed awake.

Wrong game?

 

But they solved their strike zone problem long ago with 4 sticks...
