strike  1 to Wallner was the worst called strike I’ve ever seen 

Almost in the dirt 

[Tlaker]

How long until Dazzle knows the difference between Biggio and Bichette? 

[notoriousgod71]

Nice strike 

[bighat]

Horrific strike 1 call there on Wallner. Woof. 

[CoastiePilot08]

Gotta get back to laying off those splits

MLB commissioner made some calls to the umps after the Twins got up 3-0. They don't want MN advancing, we all know that.

A-Rod making a Kevin Slowey joke? Man, that's dated.

Ok, watching the replay, why wasn't Correa backing up Polanco on that play to begin with?

Bichette would have never tried for home had Correa been drifting over to backup Polanco to begin with. I guess I won't complain about the ol' rope-a-dope though.

Yes, that was some pretty great camera/production work to grab that angle. 

[Aggies7]

Well that was a meek offensive inning. And Kevin slowey catching shrapnel 

[CoastiePilot08]

Let Gausman off the hook a bit

A-Rod is dated. I might end up having to mute the TV because it's unlistenable

No kidding. One played for the Astros, the other for the Rockies.

[bighat]

Awful half inning for the offense, Twins not doing a great job capturing the momentum here. 

[SteveLV]

This Ump is BRUTAL.  That first pitch to Wallner was both very low and very outside.  He appears to be making up his mind on whether the pitch is a strike before it actually crosses the plate.

Fun fact: if Correa had signed with the Mets or Giants, he'd be on his couch today, eating some extra salty guasacaca 

I'm not so sure... He mighta had different thoughts on the matter. A little spark can make a big difference or so Smokey the Bear has lead me to believe.

[notoriousgod71]

Julien...

[Azviking101]

I did chuckle at the Slowey joke. That fastball never topped 88 lol

[Aggies7]

FFS julien was right there

Yeah.  What was that about?

[wavedog]

Like their offense but we are hurting at defense at 2nd and 3rd with this lineup

[bighat]

Gotta turn it off, can't watch.

However…… a real pro would know enough to read the notes and understand the visitors lineup is made up of the next generation. 
my point is Dazzle sucks and needs to be replaced next year…..prove me wrong?

[Aggies7]

Not liking the location of some of those 0-2 pitches 

[wavedog]

Nice tag up by Chapman

Julien had it but couldn't squeeze it, mistimed his jump it looked like

[bighat]

attaboy pablo!

[Mortimerkenny21]

Lopez!! Do we finally have a true ace?

[rwilfong86]

Lopez with a huge K

[Battle ur tail off]

Pablo has a gem going. 

This is exactly what we needed from our game #1 starter. Keep it going...

[wsnydes]

And there was much rejoicing.
