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

[$tryf4Life]

Paddock really likes grooving an off speed pitch right down the middle when he is 3-2

[ashbury]

A two-hopper to third base on a throw from short centerfield.  That arm on Martin is marginal at best for the position.

Wallner is going to need some time.

It's his own fault. 

He chose White Horse by Chris Stapleton for his walk up music. 

And... turns out... Wallner ain't there yet. 

 

[stringer bell]

Keep giving Trout a chance to give the Angels the lead and eventually he will.

[Craig Arko]

That was a big out.

[stringer bell]

Lefties 2-2 vs. the left hander.

[ashbury]

Who is doing the color commentary on the broadcast?  Yakkity yak yak yak about rehab assignments, right through the base hit by Kepler.  I was looking at something else momentarily and had no idea the at bat was over until Provus finally broke in to mention what was going on down on the field.

Was Perkins overdoing it last nite. Just about to turn the game on now.

Clank!!

Seven out of nine are above .200!!!!!! Who are these guys?!

[MMMordabito]

Thanks, Jo.

[Aggies7]

The angels have played appalling defense this series 

[stringer bell]

Farmer with an RBI double!!!

[Winston Smith]

The Angels really need to trade Trout to the Dodgers give the guy a chance to win something. The Angels are just bad year after year.

[Joffell]

Nice to see the Twins respond..  Even Farmer gets a hit

[IaBeanCounter]

Farmer doubles, I was going to say he should bunt.

[mrtwinsfan]

O.M.G.,

Miranda started on Monday against Cannon

Farmer on Tuesday against Fedde

Miranda on Thursday against Soroka

So Farmer Tonight

And Miranda will start on Tuesday. 

Rocco is not throwing curve balls. 😁

Plouffe is in the booth with latroy and Cory.

He comes off as very over-eager, expected for a new guy 

[MMMordabito]

Good swing, Farmer.

That's Trevor Plouffe along with Hawkins.

I am so happy for Mr Farmer!

Yes, my complaints about Martin in center pale in comparison to the anguish I would feel if I had to root for these Angels.

[mrtwinsfan]

Right fielder Jo Jo  is back to 0

I generally like Plouffe's comments but he needs to be demoted to radio until he learns how to pace his reminiscences.  😀

Not really sure we need 3 people in the booth anyway.

I do too. I don't know if he would wear well over 162 games. But I really like him on an occasional basis.

[MMMordabito]

89 pitches in 3 innings from this Angels "piggyback" combo.

That was indeed the cause of the problem that caused me to notice and wonder who.
