Solano was 2 for 4 with a walk and run scored. Should have had him bat 3rd!

When solano is batting 3rd or 5th we probably aren’t scoring many runs prove me wrong

Spending an Easter Sunday disproving a probably? 

If I do that... I will have to spend some serious time in self reflection afterwards... just to figure out where my life went so horribly wrong.

Solano gets two hits and a walk and Farmer knocks in the winning run.  Rocco could have ignored the splits and started Gordon because most of the time LH hit RH pitching better.  I guess that would look better to anyone not aware of Urquidy's splits.

It was Farmer and Solanos splits you need to be concerned with......   :)

It appears Rocco also got my message....they brought up Wallner....

Let's not ignore what actually happened.  Let's also not ignore the fact that Gordon (so far) has been the least productive hitter on the team with an OPS of 255 and Farmer has been great with a wRC+ of 147.   Let's acknowledge it's probably not crucial to put a guy with a 105 average and a 255 OPS in the lineup against a really tough team.

Many teams choose to consider Urquidy a virtual lefty when facing him. The Twins did not lead the way here.
