Take the runs whatever way you can.

I've also never understood why people think bad umpiring is unique to the Twins or that umpires are bias. They're human. And like a lot of people, they are bad at their job.

That should squash any complaints about the umpires. All 4 got that one wrong. 

Believe it or not...some people want it fair both ways.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Nice play by Miranda.

[CRF]

Ya know...crow isn't half bad...with some Fava beans and a nice Kee-Antee!

Fair for who? You use the word fair as if it's a conspiracy.  Stop quoting  me and look at that box all game long

Plouffe is tough to listen to...

I disagree. MLB umpires are incredibly good. EASILY the best of any major sport. 

Buy it's a tough job. They're going to miss a few.

Fair. I should have said SOME are bad at their job. Simple as that for me. No umpire is intentionally trying to screw the Twins.

Yup. You take care buddy. No mas

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Good take, Willi. Not sure if that was strike three or ball four.

It was. Definitely.

Correa needs to come through here. Two guys on and no one out. Don't wanna squander that.

[CRF]

Back to normal...2 on nobody out...and they die there. 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Bad job all the way around there.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

I get they are being aggressive today but Santana's AB is just awful baseball.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Needed that double play.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Plouffe and Perkins need to stick to what's happening in the game. Too much anecdotal stuff.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Rowdy Tellez, for crying out loud.

[mnfireman]

You can't stop Rowdy Tellez, you can only hope to contain him...

 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

With two outs...

[Aggies7]

People love ober but he’s never sparked confidence in me

In a season of bizarre line-ups, this is one of the more bizarre... And no Lewis, again. If he can't play everyday but Castro can, he should still be in AAA.

But the torches and pitchforks…

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

How bad are things going when Rowdy Tellez is destroying you?

[OvertheHill]

We’re going to need some more runs I think 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

I won't knock Rocco for Lewis not being in the lineup. I'm sure the front office has a predetermined plan on getting him a few days off as he gets fully ramped up.

Pretty typical this season, guys hitting .200 or less with a similar slugging percentage become superstars for 3 or 4 games against the Twins...

[USAFChief]

Atteberry has now mentioned the suspect "passed ball" that scored the 3rd Twins run approximately 378 times.

And we're in the 3rd inning.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Twins need to take advantage of the opportunities.
