What's Wallner going to do in the scenario? Sit on the bench?

One can only hope so.

LA BÊTE!

[Squirrel]

So glad we have prospect Julien in our team!

[Squirrel]

Nice pick off!

[PDX Twin]

Wow. The Royals are really a "work in progress." Or maybe a "work in regress." They even managed to be laughably terrible at what they are supposed to do well. (The running game.)

It looked like the runner lost his footing trying to get back, then just gave up because he was out anyway

[SwainZag]

Damn nice play.  That had extra bases written all over it. 

[cHawk]

I want our team to score more than one run today.

MLB has open "Game of the Day" this evening, Two former Twins going at it at 7.10p.

Berrios/TOR vs Lynn/WSox.

Lynn did not want to be here so I don't count him as a former Twin. 

[cHawk]

He looks safe to me.

[stringer bell]

Easy review, clearly safe.

[stringer bell]

I predict overall better plate appearances the second time through for the Twins.

[stringer bell]

Good at-bat for Correa.

[SwainZag]

Great AB from C4

[cHawk]

It would be good if Julien could come up with another banger here.

He did not...

[stringer bell]

That's a bad number for Buxton with RiSP.

That was a petty dirty pitch on the black after coming up high with 96.  Set him pretty good. 

[cHawk]

Are we playing the White Sox?

[mrtwinsfan]

Jeffers , way to use the Noggon,   Correa nice

[Mortimerkenny21]

Way to go Kirilloff!!

[SwainZag]

I love heads up baserunning!

[stringer bell]

Good at-bat for Kirilloff as well. Not so much for Julien and Buxton. Marsh up over sixty pitches.

[Mortimerkenny21]

I was starting to feel like we were going to come up empty there.

 

[Squirrel]

Jeffers: ‘Ouch!’

Give Correa a lot of credit there.

I hope Jeffers is okay.
