The ump gave that one to the Twins.

Same thing last inning to Steer for the backward K.

Seems whenever he has time is his problem

I recall that being Eddie Julien's problem too.  Something the Twins coaching staff never figured out how to fix.  Hope Luke is less of a conundrum.

Outman probably bought a month reprieve

No, I think the hit lets them DFA him, Tuesday or whenever Royce is deemed ready to come back, with fewer feelings of pity.

Just saw the highlight of Lee trying to steal home... it's incredible how slow he is, especially for a guy who somehow hasn't gotten moved off shortstop yet.

Decent Bat - good arm  - other than that ZIP

The announcers on the clip I saw called it a delayed steal.  The cameras didn't show the full panorama.  What if - and hear me out now - what if he left immediately but just is that slow?  😁

I hope you are right but we have to bring up another outfielder to replace him.  You can not have both Kriedler and Gray up here at the same time long term.

[USAFChief]

Off topic, and a bit of a brag, but Chief, Chief Jr, and Chief Jr Jr will be traveling to St Paul this coming weekend to witness game four of the Wild Sweep in person.  A little get together to celebrate Jr Jr's graduation with his Doctor of Education degree.

One problem at a time.  😁

[karcherd]

Another great game from our all star first baseman.  It is time to bring up replacements from St. Paul if you aren't going to invest in real major league players.  Let them learn and figure out what you have.

The Twins are playing 4-dimensional chess, doing a L/R platoon on their backup infielder slot, running rings around linear thinkers like you and me.  😁

[RpR]

 I do hope they keep Ober in as long as possible.

[karcherd]

Are any of their hitters ever going to challenge that outside corner.  It's great for Bailey, but that is the pitch they should be challenging.

[mrtwinsfan]

Bailey with 9   strikeouts  - im in SHOCK !!

It helps that Hunter is giving him that outside pitch and they keep refusing to challenge it.

From what the announcers said, Spring Training seems to have done Keaschall more harm than good.

Congrats to Junior Junior for finishing his Doctor of Education education

Also, thanks in advance for jinxing the Wild

Correction on the radio pronunciations: It's been "Carantini" from the play-by-play guy during the fourth through sixth innings. 

[ashbury]

Ober 100 pitches now.

Hopefully Outman's last game and his name suits him well!
