Yup.  

[Aggies7]

Made the mistake of doing my yard work early. Regrettable

[MMMordabito]

What did Joe Cool do to anger the BABIP gods?

But if he's playing backup to all those positions, then we still need someone at 3rd. If Farmer is going to take over at 3rd for Miranda, then we need someone who can backup 3rd adequately when Farmer needs to play SS. 

In about a month, Royce Lewis could be ready. In the meantime, I think a mix between Farmer and Miranda would be okay. If they had a better option (a left handed hitter), it would be nice.

[RickOShea]

That was a refreshing 1st inning.

And they have plate discipline and don't swing at the first pitch. 

[stringer bell]

Despite good luck and good base running, Cleveland only scored two.

Okay, well, I was thinking that Miranda would be sent down. That was my original premise, Miranda down when Farmer comes up.

[stringer bell]

If the wrist is okay, the key thing for Kirlloff is to not chase. He didn't on his first PA this game.

[rwilfong86]

This would be a good time for a Gallo bomba

[Aggies7]

Ugh bases loaded nobody out lol

[stringer bell]

Oh no!! Bases loaded, nobody out.

[Nine of twelve]

Oh no. Bases loaded, nobody out.

Great minds think alike.

[rwilfong86]

I see a Miranda GIDP here.

[Aggies7]

Miranda, of course.

[CRF]

The curse of the bases loaded can not be broken!

[USAFChief]

FFS Miranda. At least wait for a GD pitch to hit.

I like the first one better, with the exclamation marks!

[Aggies7]

Absolutely bleeping pathetic. Horrendous.

[stringer bell]

Nick swung at ball three, then GDP.

[rwilfong86]

Bahahaha. Typical Twins futility.

[Aggies7]

That’s just horrific, I don’t know what else to call it. Terrible

[CRF]

I swear...you can't make this %&*#$% up! 

[Mortimerkenny21]

WHY?!?! How to they consistently not score on juicy bases and no outs?

[USAFChief]

Gordon should be 3-0, but no, swings at a 2-0 pitch 6 inches outside and then manages to hit into a gidp that i could have beat out.

Woof.

[stringer bell]

A reminder that Nick Gordon is much closer to an average runner than a burner.

[Aggies7]

We just need better players. Flat out.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I hope we win.

Because we have a lineup full of middling players offensively
