IMHO, it wasn't ill-advised for Celestino to go for two there. It took a perfect play of the carom and a perfect throw to get him.

One could note that you didn’t necessarily disagree with me.

I also don't necessarily disagree with you. The Twins might win Cole's start.?

Missed opportunity

Yup. The Twins M.O,= base running blunders and stranded runners.

That's sickening to see those fly balls to right field go for homers.  It's almost embarrassing for the hitter as they begin their home run trot.  But, a homer is a homer.  I'd take it if a Twin hit it, it just still seems ridiculous.

The stadium is more than a bit of a joke in terms of its dimensions. Yes, I'm aware that they replicated the original stadium, but that doesn't make it less of a joke.

There is zero chance the Twins will win this game. When they see the pinstripes they just shrivel up and die. It's rarely ever worth watching the team struggle so much.

And yet you’re still watching

Gary ties it up here

As soon as the catcher moved inside on Sanchez, I knew it was a mistake.  I wasn't sure he would do that with the mistake, but that was a risky place to put it.

[Aggies7]

Good job by archer 

[rwilfong86]

Double plays galore today

In addition, Celestino didn't admire the fly ball before running. I'm not Celestino's biggest fan, but I don't blame him on that decision at all.

That's completely a b.s. comment LV.  LL park come on?????????   I've never been able to purchase a beer at a LL concession stand.

Well played.

[rwilfong86]

This pitcher has an ERA of 10+, let's see if we can score a couple here

Bahaha Donaldson. Nice play at third.

But his WHIP is under 1.00. I'd chalk that up to SSS.

[Aggies7]

Donaldson is washed

[LVTwinsfan]

Great trade, Donaldson for Urshella

[Aggies7]

Cave has been close to two homers today

[rwilfong86]

Caveman just missed

[cHawk]

Hit it INSIDE the pole, Cave.

[RickOShea]

If you only have warning track power and you're a left handed pull hitter at Yankee stadium , well............................  you probably aren't considered much of a power hitter.

I think they replicated it at 3/4 scale

[Aggies7]

Need a Gary double 

[rwilfong86]

Too much first pitch swinging today.

Or not 

[RickOShea]

Twins are afflicted with "Catfish Hunter Syndrome".  That's where you shoot yourself in the foot.
