Kudos for getting the mic right up into the Shelton-ump conversation during Shelton's ejection.  

Not only was that not a check swing, I don't think the previous batter actually got hit in the foot either. 

[Tlaker]

Had to let the dog out….. why did Shelton get run?

Essentially for arguing a check swing to Elly De la Cruz.  IMO, it did look like Cruz checked his swing.  He was arguing with Wendlestedt at first and the home plate ump run him.

Arguing.  He was very descriptive as to how he hadn't said a thing to the ump.  Lots of colorful language for the TV.

[Parfigliano]

Am I the only one who sees Gray's OPS being sub .620 come 5/15 ?

[Western SD Fan]

Defensive substitutions.  Clemens at first for Bell.  Outman in LF for Larnach.

[Peter]

We are going to lose this😡😤🤬👎

As much as he has helped so far ,  when Royce gets back  is he even needed ?   Kriedler yes seeing him in center  im guessing finally Outman also gone ,  need better at bats advancing runners ,  and right now i would welcome a arm like Pagans for our Pen !!

[howeda7]

We were due for the bullpen to blow a game. And here it is. 

[Twindy]

Probably the best we could hope for in that situation to get out of that inning only giving up one run.

[Peter]

🤬😤😡👎4-4 not feeling good about this! 

[mrtwinsfan]

anyone surprised  , ?    zero   strikeout arms in the pen - Go Twins

Lewis will Not heip, probably just the opposite.

[RpR]

The Reds seem to know how to shut down the  Twins batters.

Keaschall is one game late in getting better.

I agree.  It was unlikely they would have been able to turn a traditional double play, the run still would have scored, and they would have had to face another batter.

[Parfigliano]

With a guy on 3rd on a flyball that will generate a throw to the plate standing flat footed waiting to catch the ball is not how I was taught to play CF.

I blame my coach for my not even making MiLB.

I fear this exact scenario.

it balances the  right-lefty  lineups,  production ? thats a different matter  stay tuned

[Twindy]

Abysmal eighth inning by the twins hitters..

[Mike Sixel]

Please DFA Clemens when Lewis is back. Seriously.

Why because Buxton and Martin struck out?

I'd be OK with that, but Outman should  go too and Roden is hurt now. 

[Parfigliano]

NYM just lost 10th in a row.

[Vanimal46]

They ruled that a hit for Steer? lol 

[howeda7]

When can we call up Culpepper?

[Peter]

That’s game! Lee should’ve got that

Especially since Cincinnati only has a population of 320k and Minneapolis has 420k? How do those small town kids compete with the Twins?🤷‍♂️
