Simmons also hurt?  Why did Donaldson hit for him and why is Cave now running for Donaldson?

 

Not hurt. Donaldson is a better hitter than SImmons, and Donaldson can't really run. 

The replay didn't look good. I thought, "hope he didn't break his knuckle."

You give bad umpiring too much credit

Yeah, forgot it was only a 7 inning game.

Because he hit a double off the wall

Coulombe time.

So who's left to pitch the second game today? If this one goes to extras, might have to finish the second game with a pitching machine.

Well, well one player many love to hate and one whose is too often instant out are the offence so far, fantastic.

Garver has been teaching the newbie to catch.

Maybe Baldelli is going to have suck it in and let a bp pitcher go long innings.

I vote for Tortuga. Maybe that's why he didn't start in the first game.

Well good thing that Alcala only did one inning, we might have won.

Umpires will tell you that framing pitches is a myth, pretty much admitting that bad calls are totally on themselves.

Send in the Clowns

After Ryan’s injury winning or losing this game became irrelevant 

Arraez is greatly over rated.

If there's going to be a position player pitching... it's time for Rortvedt.

His fielding is a burden; although unless the Twins score one more run, he did not lose the game.

I’ve never heard anyone say he was a good defender, quite the opposite. But he is a good hitter

Well, yes...

 

But if there's one thing we do well in game thread, it is irrelevant.

Final out...

 

Let's go, Mr. Gordon!

Let's work on our efficiency and see if we can lose the 2nd game in 5 innings 

See ya in a few hours... if i don't find nothing better to do.

 

Hope Mr. Ryan's injury isn't as bad as everyone thinks it is.
