It's a pleasure to watch a team that does the small things well.  Too bad it's against the home squad.

Winder literally gave them that run. Bellinger had three stolen bases last year; two in that inning.

Only a Twin pitcher can have a mediocre inning, and get back slaps from the whole team.

If only we had some low leverage opportunities to ease Winder into the majors rather than throwing him into a tie game against the best lineup in my lifetime.

Winder in for the 5th. Scheduled piggy-back “start”? If they don’t get rained on, suppose the plan is 2-3 innings?

Whether or not this is the plan, it doesn’t look like Winder will go more than an inning

How about the skies open up and we start over on another day?

Bring him  in when the twins have 5 run lead.

Kepler murders left-handers, right?

One can only hope so.

How will we waste the double this time? My guess is K, pop out to 3rd, groundout to 3rd

Twins fans: Where is Falvey's pitching pipeline? We have waited long enough!

Twins fans, after a part of said pipeline makes his debut and it doesn't go perfectly: Send him back to St. Paul!

Seriously, I'm also annoyed by the Dodgers' lead and yesterday would probably have been a better situation for Winder. But can you maybe give him a little bit longer than one single inning before you write him off?

Yeah, don't get why Winder is used in a 0-0 game vs a stacked Dodgers lineup rather than using him yesterday with a 4 run lead. The rookie jitters were strong and Jeffers wasn't helping.

Maybe there will be a RBI single?

Lighten up. It was the kid's first major league inning. He was working against nerves, bad weather, and a good team. He didn't give up a hit. A bit of support from teammates can go a long way in a situation like this.

It's deja vu all over again

If. Sano at least hits it deep

Agree. Mostly nerves, I suspect. 

But still, this is a brutal time for his debut.

Not when he has trouble throwing strikes.

Given how our RH batters have fared against Heaney, this seems like good move.

Tough crowd in here tonight.

Does it seem like there have been a lot of hit by pitches this year?

Thank you, Dodgers!

we're all tired of this sh-t..

HA, and I say HA again, good fielding makes a huge difference; that looked like last years Twins.

Someone said something about the Dodgers doing the little things right?

 

Thank you. 

Hard to tell from the radio, but sounds like it should have been a double play?
