Nobody has ever looked worse in a ball cap than Eduoard Julien

Wow. Didn't think we'd see Stewart today. Absolutely cannot afford to walk Barnes.

Just a really bad haircut.

So like 1% of the posters? 95% consensus is rare around here. Seems unnecessary to call out.

 It was questioned. It was answered. 

[Aggies7]

Can’t walk the 9 hitter. Unless it gets overturned then you can*

[CRF]

WHAT A THROW BY CC!

[RpR]

Good throw, good tag.

[mrtwinsfan]

C.C.. WOW=AGAIN

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Correa's a freaking stud.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Correa's the best shortstop in baseball and it isn't even close, IYAM.

It was a good long con. Walk the catcher, don't get the ensuing double play, then get Betts, the faster runner on a force at 2nd, and finally nail Ohtani while he's distracted checking his Fanduel bets while he's rounding 3rd. 

 

[Schmoeman5]

And Kiriloff has to hit the cutoff man and he did

And if all goes well, you won't see the top of the order again today.

Thankfully, it usually goes well for the Twins this year.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Who pitches the 8th? Jackson? Okert? PTSD from Monday night looms large.

Jax getting some favorable calls.

Yeah.  But every pitcher/team get unfavorable and favorable calls.  The art of umpiring is without a consistent canvas.

[RpR]

See if Kirilloff can pad his BA .

BA=bad ass?

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Who pitches the 9th?

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Also, I can't stand Joe Kelly.

[cheeseheadgophfan]

I'll place big $$$ on Okert not getting this save....Rocco's bullpen management is bizarre.

[RickOShea]

A Buck-a-roo would be very nice right about, now!!!

[Aggies7]

Hey Byron, I bet they’re going to throw you a slider down and away

[Aggies7]

Just can’t get picked off there with nobody out.

Especially as a pinch runner. Dumb.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Castro was such a shot in the arm last season. Total opposite this year.
