You might not love the ph but at least you’re not a Bluejays fan. They have something to gripe about. Castro can have an impact still.

2 is both welcome...and a big disappointment. 

Look at it this way, we probably wouldn’t have scored at all if the jays manager played it like every other manager would have for the last 160 years 

[Parfigliano]

Whats done is done 2-0 lead must hold cause I do not want a game 3.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

In the blink of an eye, we went from an old school pitching duel, to an AnalytivsTM video game platoon split simulation 

[Aggies7]

Don’t do it rocco 

[TWTwinsFan]

Wallner is hitting lately, shouldn't take him out that early

But Wallner can't

The DP (which we all hate) got in a run, which in this game might be real big. If I'm Berrios Im on the phone a la Denis Lemieux in Slapshot saying....'trade me right @#$%ing now'!!

Maybe, but he did.

plus a SF works there.....it was just too early for me to do. But that's a small error, imo, not a huge error. 

[Aggies7]

Got a call there for strike 3

[Blyleven2011]

Sonny seems to have found his groove ...

 

[Azviking101]

Most of wallners at bats against lefties have led to strikeouts, pop ups and weak ground balls. None of which help the twins. 
 

my only gripe might be the player he pinch hit since Castro is not as good as a righty but have to hold farmer as a defensive replacement for later. 

[TNTwinsFan]

Finally got a call back

[Cris E]

Want to get Vlad Jr here to avoid Bo with runners on. That guy is on fire at the plate.

Wallner struggles mightily against lefties.  You need contact there to push a run across.  The DP was obviously not the ideal outcome, but you can bet him not getting meaningful ABs against lefties when there are other options on the bench.

Gladden sounds like he's in pain watching Schneider manage this inning.

Gladden's pain is my pain. Flipped over to Jays radio, Ben Wagner. Phew.... pain lifted.

[wsnydes]

You're a Guerrero... you're supposed to swing at those...it's literally in your genes!  

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Dang, did not need that walk.

I think the only way Toronto will score in this game is on a home run, because that’s what it it looks like they are swinging  for 

[rwilfong86]

I hate walks.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Don't pull him! Sonny can battle!

[Aggies7]

Another ticklish situation

This sounds like a jinx...

[CRF]

Sonny's gotta get one...more...guy. 

[Beast]

This AB here might be the series.  Massive.  Come on Gray.

[TwinsAlmostWin]

Put him on and bring Thielbar in

[rwilfong86]

Gah that was a huge mistake

[Beast]

Lazy play by Jeffers.  Huge mistake.

Just put him on here.

[rwilfong86]

These umps are horrible and inconsistent
