Game Thread: Twins (Gray) v Dodgers (May), 5/17 @ 2:10pm CT

[Mortimerkenny21]

Way to go Buck! Pretty nice, would've been really nice to have Correa on base before that!

[SwainZag]

On the radio feed that was LOUD off the bat.

Unless things change quickly, the Twins are only going to get 5 from Gray today. To echo @USAFChief there aren't really any low-leverage bullpen slots.

The box is way too small on the screen again.

Once seen it cannot be unseen.

[August J Gloop]

Darn when the foul tip gets dropped and then a doink. 

[USAFChief]

Stolen off Gray

[USAFChief]

SHUT UP ABOUT THE HOMERLESS STREAK FOR GRAY, DICK!!

[danielp19653]

Cost a run so far. 

[August J Gloop]

Sonny had had some real location trouble with Betts today. But at least it wasn't a homer, considering the middle middle-ness of it. 

[rwilfong86]

Just tuned in. Looks like Sonny hasn't been sharp

[MMMordabito]

I'm feeling a DeLeon punt incoming.

[August J Gloop]

Looks like 5 max for Sonny today. Can't feel too sorry for him with the location on these pitches.

He hasn't.

For one thing, he hasn't had command of that running 2 seamer that clips the inside corner to lefties.

Maybe there’s another WBC-like outing in De León. 

[Robert Floren]

Not over yet!  Lets score a couple runs

[stringer bell]

I hope no one gripes if Gray is pulled after 5 innings, if he gets that many. 

[stringer bell]

They should be scoring a few off this guy.

Joc Pederson played for the Dodgers and Israel, so ..... maybe?

[Winston Smith]

Does Justin know he doesn't have to talk all the time?

[stringer bell]

Gordon is walking like me. That ain't good.

[USAFChief]

Not sure what made me think of this, but I'm reminded of when I took Mrs Chief to the hospital for the birth of our 1st child. I was pretty freaked out, worrying about her health. I remember she started yelling at me and I just got so scared.

"Couldn't!" she yelled at the top of her lungs.

"Wouldn't!"

"Can't! Won't! Hasn't!"

Just then the doctor walked in and I frantically asked him what the heck is going on?

He looked at be, a little bemused, and said "relax, Chief. She's just started with the contractions."

[stringer bell]

Michael A to CF? The way Gordon walked out of the box, I would be surprised if that doesn't happen.

[August J Gloop]

Not a shock that Sonny is done. He looked sloppy. Good opportunity for Moran. Also not shocked Gordo is out. 

[IaBeanCounter]

I'm surprised Castro went to CF

Or they could put Willi in center and Farmer at third base.

Saving Taylor for later in case of a pinch running potential situation?

A lot of baseball left.  Hope the bench is there,  if needed.
