Twins (Festa) vs Rays (Springs): 9/3/24, 5:50pm

[USAFChief]

Anybody can play anywhere strikes again. Terrible jump. A left fielder catches that easily.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

The phrase, "In play, run(s)" has been around for more than 2 decades, hasn't it?

[Aggies7]

More excellent outfield defense 

[USAFChief]

Yeah, David. There are baserunners.

Maybe he was absent the one day they went over holding runners on in spring training

Could not agree more. It’s gotta get fixed before next year

[Peter]

[Patzky]

Almost pulled it off if it weren't for those meddling Rays

[HarmonK03]

There is your Gold Glove first baseman.

[Peter]

Buxton needs to comeback asap!!! Martin isn’t getting it done in left-get willi in left. Should be out of 1–1 now we are losing 😤🤬😡

[USAFChief]

Santana needs to knock that down, at least.

And Helman...WTF?

[CRF]

The mayo on Helman's hand caused the bad throw.

Farmer's range is measured metrically. 

in centemeters.

I can't think of a GOOD reason to have him on the roster, other than fear and playing not to lose.

How long have you been planning this, and it was good!

[Mortimerkenny21]

Ooooffdaahh!

[Mike Sixel]

Not bad considering the "defense"....but another short start. If only there was a relief pitcher in AAA who can go more than one inning....

It doesn't need fixed. The recipe works if you use the right ingredients. No substitutes

[Patzky]

Could have ended better. Could have ended so much worse..

This is what happens when you only value versatility, just because the player can go out there doesn't necessarily mean he will make the plays needed.

[Mike Sixel]

Games clearly over. I'm going to make dinner. 

[Patzky]

Can't realistically win 1-0 every day

I don't even understand the "playing not to lose" theory.

And of course Rocco has to get every RH bat in, for what? To weaken the defense? We have one run through 4. What good did it do to load the lineup with weak RH bats?

[Linus]

Festa deserved better. Brooks good play gets canceled out by two poor plays.

Nah, one more inning (at least to start) would be my guess.....so 5. Which is fine, but he was on pace for 6.
