Man alive that just can’t happen 

[rwilfong86]

That's a very Twins play there. Botched double play.

[wsnydes]

Sigh...

[Squirrel]

****!!!!!!!

[notoriousgod71]

Solano should now have two errors.

No it’s not.

[RickOShea]

Error charged to solano?  I charge Baldelli with the error, for not putting a first baseman out there.

[tony&rodney]

Solano has had some type of misplay every single game where he has played first base.

He cannot play there. It's almost unfair to him.

Gallo would have had that

[Aggies7]

Well we were going to have to score more anyway, probably

That wasn't a tough play, I would have had that!

[stringer bell]

Yes, no Gold Glove at first base. IMHO, they probably should flip-flop Miranda and Solano.

Don't think you needed a 1B to catch that.  That's just flat out botched.

They are 13th in dps made this year. That isn’t a team where it’s typical they botch then

TO ME  2ND ERROR 

[stringer bell]

It bugs me to see another short first baseman for the Twins.

This is why sometimes you have to set your lineup with defense in mind. Especially when your offense is suspect

At least a normal first baseman has the bigger glove.LOL

ARREAZ   IS 3 INCHES TALLER THAN SOLANO

[Aggies7]

Time for atonement

I haven't been paying attention. What's the pattern to the Vasquez/Jeffers rotation? R/L splits, certain pitchers, or seemingly random?

Yes.

[wsnydes]

If you're going to kick it around, you best make up for it with the bat.

[mnfireman]

Ryan only at 68 pitches, but the Yankees are hitting him hard; 35% hard hit rate. Time to get the BP warming up...

[Aggies7]

So many lazy pop ups. What are the odds Carlos can club one here ?

That's not what I was thinking.

Zero.

[RickOShea]

Remember the days when you heard, " the Twins way"?  Good defense, good baserunning, and the ability not beat themselves.

They played sound fundamental baseball.  True, they didn't dominate the game, but at least they weren't an embarassment.

I think Hicks is just one of those guys that can handle the press and pressure of NY. Gallo and Sonny Gray are just a few others that probably hated that microscope atmosphere 

Different sport, but I can't wait until we add Aaron Rogers' name to that list.
