ya, giving sonny a free out when he's not going well is just bad managing. Awful, really.

Doubt that was anything but a bunt for a hit.

Bunting like that with the top of the order coming up was manna from heaven 

I wonder if it was called from the dugout. Varsho had a down season and may have just laid that down to try to make something happen.

[Aggies7]

Where has all the offense gone?

[Brock Beauchamp]

The Twins are not showing the good approach at the plate they were showing yesterday. Lots of swings at balls way outside the zone, plenty of **** contact.

[Cris E]

Maybe they were hoping that Polanco couldn't field it but Varsho couldn't get it near him? Who knows.

We didn't have any yesterday, except for Lewis.

Berrios is absolutely painting right now.  We might get shut out today.

Where was this when he played here.

Based on the last 12 innings, bunting at Polanco doesn't sound like a bad strategy.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Correa with an infield single, just as we all predicted.

[Mike Sixel]

Twins not laying off the bad pitches today....can't watch....they seem anxious?

[weitz41]

Having the Yankee's voice announcing the game last night and tonight feels like Russian runlet. With 5 bullets in the 6-shot cylinder...Lets have Alex Rodregues as part of game one..CC tonight?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Nice PA from Wallner there.

More of that, please.

[Azviking101]

No more showing ump cam during pitches please and thank you

Tight, tight spin on Berrios breaking balls. They just flat out aren't picking it up out of his hand. He looks good. 

[nicksaviking]

OK, 1-2-3 inning now please.

That was a dribbler on the part of Correa that probably had a chance of being a hit at any point, but it seemed like he got down the line a little quicker than he was able to do in the regular season. Similar on yesterday’s hustle defensive play. Let’s hope that’s a sign the rest was helpful. 

[Cris E]

At least Wallner squared one up there. That's something.

[Aggies7]

If this series were football, Toronto would be dominating the time of possession

Or that he has been "taking it easy" for the last month.

[Mike Sixel]

Is someone up in the bullpen, because their best pitcher can't throw a strike or miss a bat.

[RickOShea]

Damn, MAT plays a smooth cf.

Given that the defense has the ball, I’d be glad to have Toronto have the most possession. 

[PDX Twin]

Kirilloff makes the Katch this time!

[RickOShea]

Toronto's getting frustrated.  They're going to be swinging from their heels in the later innings.  Hopefully we can limit pitch to contact.

He also hasn't given up a run. There's no need to get a guy up when no one is even on base yet.

Gray gets at least that much slack. I don't pull him out of the game unless he has given up runs, went over 100 pitches, or he has gone five innings.

[JDBrocks]

Not getting anything close.

[USAFChief]

Sonny isn't fooling anyone.

 

 

[Battle ur tail off]

Yes, for sure they aren't letting him go through the order 3 times. 

[Aggies7]

Not been too many easy innings at all
