No. It got caught up under the wall

Giving Benentindi a cookie with an 0-2 count was the big mistake of the inning. Twins can't seem to get that guy out.

Another Witt xbh and now we're back down.

Archer looking more and more like just a warm body/placeholder out there.

Benintendi was pretty much fooled by a change up. I don’t think I would call it a cookie. Witt hit the ball hard.

Uncatchable. It was a frozen rope that was over Gordon's head and landed right at the base of the wall - between the dirt and the padding. Just kinda stuck and died there.

Arraez with some air jumping over that Correa single!

 

Seems like they have mixed in some 2019 balls tonight. Several hits have really carried.

Maybe someone unplugged the humidor 

What are the roster rules about unvaccinated players who can't go to Canada? Can they be replaced? Or does a team play short for those three games? Or do they have to make other roster adjustments including waiting time for anyone put on the IL or sent down? I wonder if the Twins are arranging their rotation for next week with this in mind?

Archer is a tough competitor, but his stuff's just not that great. Anybody in the minors wanna cuppa? Canterino..?

This one feels like a toss up.

 

Twin 6, Royals 5

PTC: Buxton

Royals look like they might pull away.

Cheap run there for KC.

He'd be more useful in relief i think.

The Twins infielders are looking like a bunch of little leaguers.

That was embarrassing...

Tough luck for Archer

 

This is beginning to look like one of those days. 

We are about to lose a home series against the ****ing Royals

More like the Twins we expected 2 months ago?

Whatever encouragement I took from Archer's 1st couple starts is long gone.

 

Can't keep running him out there.

 

Kepler gave up on that ball. That was not a good look Archer gave him

Time to end the Chris archer as a starter experiment. Ain’t working 

Because of all these tough luck for Archer they should taken him out even though they need to spare Baldelli's short RPs.

Player is put on restricted and doesn’t get paid. He can be replaced on the roster.

I think Kepler is hurt. 2 quick steps out of the box and he pulls up

I think there is something wrong with Kepler. He played the ball hit by Merrifield poorly as well.

it is time to bench Kepler.

Twins batting coach is a real joke.    I'm not that impressed with the Twins batting coach.  Twins need to get James Rowson back next season.
