Game Thread: Twins (Lopez) @ Cardinals (Mikolas), 8/1/2023 @ 6:45 CT

[PDX Twin]

They might need to use the Manfred Man starting in the 6th inning to get a run here.

[OvertheHill]

Jeffers, what? 

[Parfigliano]

Wheels Jeffers takes the extra base.

And the run.

Textbook run creation there. Well if you watch enough baseball you’ll see everything eventually.

Ryan Roadrunner Jeffers

Awkward base running notwithstanding, Rocco is going to need to remind me again why Jeffers gets fewer starts than Vazquez.

The advantage of not striking out

If he tells you tell me.

[OvertheHill]

What the Polanco just happened???

[Parfigliano]

That should be Polanco's 2nd error this game.

[OvertheHill]

This is a lot of weirdness for 5 innings.

It's a farce!

Who's injured?

[cHawk]

You don't see this every day.

Nobody, Walker supposedly did not touch first base and they called him out. They are now reviewing it.

[Schmoeman5]

How is that play scored.

1-3 I presume.

Hope not. We need a first baseman

[LewFordLives]

Twins caught a huge break.

[USAFChief]

We are now 3 for 3 on challenges this game.

Gonna go out on a limb and say that's never happened before and never will again.

Polanco's error could be a blessing.   They called Walker an out for not touching 1st base.

[OvertheHill]

Pablo staying on task. Can’t be super confident with Polanco at 3rd.

Can we do Springsteen’s OG version instead?

Nothing. Not one thing.

Glad to know...

 

I'd dreamed we got swept by Kansas City...

No. Someone in the dugout made it happen!

That's what I was thinking.  But on the appeal the umpire ruled safe. So the Twins reviewed the play and the appeal was overturned

[9moons27]

That sidearm flip by Polanco wasn't even close.

He easily could have 3 errors this game
