That was a nice running catch by Escobar a while back. It's not his fault he's out there, and he's making the best of an intolerable situation.

Intolerable!

Well, at least we have Dozier

Cola mashing in two runs. LOL... How can you not love baseball.

how do you score two runs on a ground ball to short?

Runners on 2nd and 3rd....no outs. Runners on 2nd and 3rd........two outs. well I cant wait to see how this ends.

How is that not an error? Dozier doesn't score if Cabrera fields it.

Okay, have at it, boys. I'm done defending anything this front office does right now.

 

Unbelievable. I don't even care about Brooks Raley but MATT GUERRIER?

It's no sweat if you just remind yourself that the Twins are in the entertainment business, not the winning baseball games business. Wins are just a gold star on the refrigerator calendar.

Got the tying run on 1st now.

They lost Brooks Raley.

 

To keep Matt Guerrier.

Every rebuilding team should cut guys in their 20s to bring up 35 year old RP. It's the new market inefficiency. Like injured college RP being drafted early rounds.

Your journey to the dark side is complete!

 

Are the official scorers in Cleveland the same people making roster moves for the Twins?

 

I thought Santana should have had a hit at the start of the inning, and not giving Cabrera an error there is inconceivable.

Oh my... That was quick...

 

Raley better be terrible...

You mean, like felony terrible?

Got the tying run on 1st now.

 

I really am going to quit making game related comments.

If likes were rationed weekly, I'd get up at 12:01 Monday morning to send next week's too.

Just a PSA.

Wouldn't want any of you claimed on waivers...

And, we have this somewhat confusing series of tweets from Berardino:

 

 

• Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 2h
  Guerrier says #mntwins never came to him with a request to push back today's opt-out date. Wasn't sure what he would have done if they had.
   
   
   
   
  
  • Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 10m
    Now #mntwins tell me Brooks Raley was DFA'd earlier this week, placed on outright waivers Tuesday. 48-hour period just expired today.
     
     
    

   

   

 

 

• Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 10m
  Only possible reason to conceal DFA status for Raley that I can think of is to keep the leverage with Guerrier's agent on opt-out date.
   
   
   
  Presumably the first tweet now just means that the Twins were talking with Matty G's agent not Guerrier himself.
   
  But I haven't understood the warrior love since ST and I still don't get it now.
   
   
  

Walking in runs...

But I haven't understood the warrior love since ST and I still don't get it now.

You will never understand the Twins front office until you grasp the fact that there is no spoon.

Great update, btw. If the Twins were a branch of government, a congressional committee would have already been appointed to investigate.

There is no game thread. I'm going to go grab lunch.

How about that Danny Santana?

Herrmann couldn't score on that? Yikes.

 

At least his OPS is almost up to .300

Go young guys (or somewhat young guys)!

That Santana plays a mean baseball.

Danny Santana for mayor...

 

...of the universe.

 

At least Herrmann didn't slide head first into halfway between home and first.

(Jumping up and Down) Hey everyone... Come back.... (Waiving arms)... Hey everyone... Herrmann got a hit...

Lol

Herrmann things to work on Checklist:

 

We may want to add baserunning to it.

Did Herrmann go on that one?
