Incredible catch from Martin! He may be struggling at the plate, but he isn’t bringing it out!

We need a damn flow chart on when guys can challenge these calls…. zero reason there for Martin to do it in that situation

Kody Clemens continues to look like a keeper.

[Patzky]

Ugh jeez. One out please.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Okay, Banda Man...

[h2oface]

Challenging an inconsequential 0-1 count strike call by Martin in the 5th with 2 outs and bases empty is just selfish. To prevent a K or get a walk …. OK. But these guys have to keep the overall context of the game in focus. These are valuable and could swing a game in the later innings. As long as baseball has to go through this transition stage and not just get all calls abs correct, they have to be smarter about the really close ones. 

[David HK]

Take your time getting to that roller, Mr. LF.  No need to rush getting a guy who didn't even take off from going 1-3rd.

[Patzky]

There goes the win

savant has all that--  Twins batters are terrible --   catchers are pretty good  real good

Banda Man Cannot 

[Vanimal46]

WTF? Larnach threw it perfectly for Caratini to get the out at home plate

[mrtwinsfan]

Ball was there,  

[h2oface]

Why do these guys reach to tag? 

[Patzky]

Actually the first obviously botched pitching move in quite awhile. Paredes had Jensen under control 

[Vanimal46]

You can’t make it up

[Patzky]

All this with two outs.

[Twindy]

This is just the bad news bears if I’ve ever seen it

[stringer bell]

I was thinking that the first team that scored more than one run in an inning will win. Still think so unfortunately.

Woof! 🐶 Get an insurance run, walk the leadoff guy- following the script! 

I'm just gonna go ahead and quote myself here.  Woof! Woof! Another dog's dinner.  Another brain fart in the field, another 💩ty throw.

Omg! 😂😅🤣 And as I was typing! 🤡⚾🤡

[LewFordLives]

Can Royce Lewis play second?

[mrtwinsfan]

Keystone Kuechell and Kreidler

[Patzky]

Gray wasn't so bad eh .

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

OMG...

[IndyTwinsFan]

Banda + Poor Defense = AARGH!

[Patzky]

Probably.. game.

if he just drops his glove to the plate ,  ezzy out ,  he reached out over it

[krink]

Only down one - I think this is recoverable!

[SS MagicMark]

Perfect timing for the tarps.

Tie bells around their neck so they can hear each other coming.
