The one you live near is pretty good -- Sonoran

Larnach should have been running on contact, no? There's two outs.

I bought it in Duluth. OMC Smokehouse

Twins have not been a well coached team for so many years.

[Twinsfreak23]

That was a really, really dumb send.

Larnach should have been on second after the throw home, but still should have scored from first.

He had to have been jogging

Provus indicated Larnach wasn't running hard .. maybe thought there was only one out. 🫢

[Aggies7]

Man he ****ed that one up completely

Definitely didn’t know the situation.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Should not have come down to Watkins. Larnach needed to be running the entire time. There were two outs. Even if it's caught, who cares.

Well, thats what happens when you forget how many outs there are.

Apparently...

[TwinsCD]

Larnach needs to be on the bench for that one.  Why do you stop??  And in seeing that, how does Watkins send him?

Simple things like baserunning lack on this team way too often.  It's those margins that we have talked about often.

That's totally on Larnach's stupid ***.

[Aggies7]

It would have been a great read if there were only 1 out. He pretty much stopped at second 😂

[TwinsCD]

There's that good Jeffers defense again.

[Aggies7]

Now we just give a free base just cuz

To many distractions/big city media. With twins closing on division title/playoffs they are going to be major distraction. Rocco needs to keep them away from our team!

Not to worry, Peter. Remember, they are at the friendly confines. Everyone will be sweet as pie to them

wtf was larnach doing? You don’t score on that?

he needs to explain ==  Tballers even know that

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

This feels like one of those margin losses for the Twins where they beat themselves...

They might be running the wrong direction around the bases, but at least they know to keep on going.

Peter, I’ve lived in Chicago for more than 24 yrs now, 21 of those downtown. It’s fine. Of course, I’m the one committing all the crimes, so I’m good

[USAFChief]

And, to repeat, Larnach should have been on second for that Wallner double anyway.

The throw on the sac fly was over the cutoff man and not anywhere near curable. There was no chance the fly ball isn't caught so he should have been tagging.

On Larnach,  Moron stopped twice with 2 our  WHY

I do not disagree.. At the same time, once it was clear that Larnach had ****ed up, Watkins should have probably stopped him.
