Wouldn't he take an Uber?  😉

Looks like Blue has the magic 8 ball out for his outside corner decisions.

[Aggies7]

Man I just had some really amazing broccolini. First time I ever had it. Amazing,

[Parfigliano]

Defense

[Aggies7]

I’d be in the ICU if I dove like Santana just did. He’s a year older 

[jimbo92107]

How did the Twins luck into Carlos Santana? The guy looks like he's at the height of his career, not the tail end. 

Also, Sim is doing some good pitching, moving the ball around, not giving them a pattern. He is more deceptive than I realized.

[Aggies7]

That was a strike, eddy

[jimbo92107]

Can't criticize Wallner for a 114 mph scalding line drive out. Did that screamer get ten feet off the ground?

[TwinsCD]

It's like Julien thinks his strike zone is a keyhole, yet he swings at a ball up and in that he'd have no shot of hitting.  He's really regressed at the ML level.  If it requires him to get a frontline starter at the deadline, I'm definitely pulling that trigger.

Maybe last winter - not now.

it's definitely the base stealing that seals the deal

 frontline starter  ?   Thinking we would have to give up alot more than Julien  .  low level reliever = maybe, your right on point with his batting approach, has anyone told him he cant challenge a call like in st,p he stands there looking like he wants to !!

[gregens]

One statement and one question:

. Wheeler has thrown 34 pitches in 2 innings

. If Jullian has such a great eye why doesn't he swing at close pitches with 2 strikes?

Yeah, there'd be more involved than just him.  I'm not naive to think only he could command that haul.

[TwinsCD]

Yuck...that's one of the worst places for a HP umpire to get a foul ball.  You think you're protected but it's pretty minimal.

Nice job by SWR

Man, Sim's command was right on in that inning. He's really moving the ball around, and when he needed a high heater, he nailed the top of the zone. I can see why hitters are frustrated. They have no idea where the next pitch is going, yet Sim can throw a tough strike when he needs to. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Wallner  114. mph --  gotta keep playing this guy,  and keep his k-rate  much lower

[Aggies7]

Twins at full strength would make a good World Series matchup with these phillies, maybe

[Aggies7]

Lmao even when he does something good, he boots it. What you get for pimping a fly to the track

[MMMordabito]

Was that a base or a banana peel?

[Shaitan]

Gonna make a bold prediction that Vasquez is hitting over .200 at the end of the season.

Faster  Vasquez or  Jeffers, ?  or Goofier ?

[Linus]

Isn’t this the second or third time Vasquez has fallen down running the bases?

Then again, that’s awfully big talk when yesterday was our second win against a top 5 team
