Game Thread: Twins (Paddack) @ Angels (Soriano), 4/27 @ 8:38pm CT

[Squirrel]

Hoping the Twins keep it rolling, that our pitchers pitch and our hitters hit.

Chance for Paddack to continue righting the ship and for the team to get back to .500.  Did not see either of those things as likely, so quickly, after seeing Paddack and the team get dismantled in Baltimore.

Wallner is going to need some time.

I watched Louie and Duran pitch. Louie looked pretty good, but I want to see real improvement in his command. This was a typical Varland start. DaShawn K went high above the fence to pull in a homer saving Louie from a familiar fate. Duran, on the other hand looked great. 99 with the split sinker and hit 103 with the four seamer. He is ready. The crew were talking to him and said that they were told he'd need 2 or 3 rehab appearances and Duran emphatically said no, just two. 👍

Good to see Varland pitch better. That should help his confidence a little bit. 

[MMMordabito]

Rocco misses pitchers hitting, so he keeps putting Farmer in the lineup to reminisce.

Id give half my fingers and all my firewood for Freddie Freeman

There has GOT to be a way to get that black hole Farmer out of the regular lineup.

Miranda?

[Dan Engebretson]

Kepler got a ball 4 gift.

 

[MMMordabito]

Had to have help not letting Soriano off the hook.

[AussieG]

Way to be patient Castro

Miranda. 

[MMMordabito]

This umpire must only have a dark room and a can of sardines to go home to tonight.

[stringer bell]

Walks Farmer on four pitches!!

[stringer bell]

AK crushed that fly ball for an RBI sac fly and Julien with the two-out RBI knock. 

[stringer bell]

Really nice AB from Jeffers.

[Aggies7]

2 in a row for the white sox. Don’t let them get hot!

[stringer bell]

Ugh. Jeffers looked safe. Nice AB from Larnach. Wow--4-0.

[AussieG]

The call stands? how? Jeffers was in there

[LewFordLives]

That was could be a big call in the game. Twins should have had a runner at third.

[RickOShea]

That call at third should have ben reversed.  I can't see anything that would have reversed it.  That's pathetic and shows how instant replay can really suck.

It looked like he might have tagged him on the sleeve of the left arm just before he got to the base.

I missed the context for this comment.  But by coincidence, our Lyft driver from the airport last night turned out to be a big Atlanta fan, who could not stand Freeman and was glad to see him go.  Apparently he witnessed the player fail to toss a foul ball to the fans, or didn't sign someone's memorabilia, or something like that, and he made up his mind.  Fans choose their favorites for a wide variety of reasons.

Yes maybe. I understand we don't get all the angles on replays.

Yeah, kind of like what OJ did.  Never did like him after his late night visit in Brentwood.

Off speed meatball from Paddack. Gross.
