Man alive. 5 ****ing double plays

[Tlaker]

FFS this team is fundamentally just crap

[exeoud]

5 DP's is unnacceptable.

[jaimedude]

Unreal, now this is why I wanted a bunt. 5th gdp double play tonight by Twins. 

[CCHOF5yearstoolate]

Striking out doesn't seem so bad now

[USAFChief]

If you're asking Willi to bunt on 0-0, why not 0-1?

Guy probably would have ran it in and tried to blow his fingers up again.

[tony&rodney]

5 DP and Lewis thrown out at second with four missed plays on defense for MN and two missed plays for Cleveland .... and still a very good game. Yeh?

[jaimedude]

I suspect we're gonna get Dobbers

That would be a fireable offense for Rocco if Dobnak ends up blowing it.

Doesn’t make my statement wrong FYI

[Patzky]

[Aggies7]

[jaimedude]

Stole home, Vazquez great baserunning scored their first 2 runs. 

[Craig Arko]

Oh, yeah.

[Patzky]

What is Vogt doing out there waving his arms during the game and yelling. Can managers even do that?

Great! Has nothing to do with the fundamentals of baseball

They can, yes.

[ziggy]

abracadabra here is another run without an RBI.

[exeoud]

Might be a bad call, but come on, you're just asking for that to be called at some point if you have a dumb leg twitch like that.

But making contact is bad? What are you even saying here?

[tony&rodney]

Fun, yet crazy, game.

[jaimedude]

Willi Castro is one tough SOB.

I've never seen it and I've watched a lot of Twins games. 😅

[Aggies7]

Looking like signing up for that free trial was a good call 😂

[Aggies7]

Ew they’re doing the wave lol

I am talking about 5 ground into double plays, because they can’t or won’t bunt runners over. You know, fundamental baseball
