No exaggeration, I believe Celestino is the worst baserunner I've ever seen in MLB.

Inconceivable. 

Worst 3rd base coach too.

Hey we can still win  88 Games ?

That's how much interest I've lost in the Twins.  I didn't even realize until I read your post that MLB is making up the missing games from the 2020 season by tacking on 102 more to the end of this one.

How many did we lose back than because of the BP?  

the Cleveland nightmare in late June with Mainly Pagan, we had a chance of being up 9-10 games on them, And then the Lopez experiment another failure, ,  But ya  Bullpen

[Linus]

Celestino is brain dead. He constantly makes mistakes on the bases and when he throws better take cover.   I’m not giving up on the guy but he needs to go back to AAA and get his act together in all phases. If he can’t he is of no use to the big club. 

[Parfigliano]

Bundy's I believe 21st HR given up

[mrtwinsfan]

Would love the twins to be able to get a catcher- outfielder like Melendez,  he would be catching alot more if not for Perez

That may be, but the gaffe today is 100 percent on Celestino. Completely, totally his responsibility to know the situation and react properly.

Correct. You learn that play in babe Ruth ball. No coaching required.

Fortunately for Gilbert and other Twins 3b coaches, they have the advantage of being judged against the highly imaginative decisions of Gardy fave Scott Ullger...  the only 3b coach in MLB history to base his decisions on in-game readings of tarot cards...

Double play leaders , we got 3 in the top ten,  

1	Vladimir Guerrero Jr.	Tor	24
2	Gio Urshela	Min	20
3	Amed Rosario	Cle	19
4	Bo Bichette	Tor	18
5t	Randy Arozarena	TB	17
5t	Alex Bregman	Hou	17
5t	J.D. Martinez	Bos	17
5t	Jose Miranda	Min	17
9	José Abreu	CWS	16
10	Carlos Correa	Min	15

[Linus]

I love Nick Gordon but he is another nightmare on the bases. You absolutely don’t try and take third there. There is huge risk with almost no reward. What the hell is going on here?

Need alot of base runners for that.

Was that wild pitch charged to Bundy, ?

Yes

[Parfigliano]

Is this going to be yet another game where Twins score early then call it a night offensively.

[mrtwinsfan]

Twins need a healthy Royce Lewis , to maybe have a year like Bobby Witt.    Fun to watch

It's sure shaping up that way.

[SanoMustGo]

Bundy, like the rest of the team, is toast. Most likely won’t see .500 again this season.

[tony&rodney]

What happened to Celestino? I'm listening Gladden prattle .... nothing mentioned yet.

Watching Cleveland-Chicago. Cease has had to work thus far.

[Parfigliano]

Bye bye Greinke win

[PDX Twin]

Sano would not have (come close to) beating that one out!

[Parfigliano]

CB Buckner at 1st so probable is out

[LaBombo]

Umpire:  <'Throw looked like it was just in time, I'll call him...'>

Wallner: 'You don't need to call me out'

Umpire: <'I don't need to call him out'>

 

[PDX Twin]

Yay! I love to see a bunt to beat the shift even if it's against the Twins!

I assumed Kepler would be on that list but he has just 7

[PDX Twin]

Classic Twins baseball! Strikeout on a pitch a foot outside the zone. Caught stealing by a player who doesn't steal because he might get injured. And then an injury to said runner. You can't make this up!
