He should have waited until the LF shifted a little more toward center. 

Everyone is playing the Mauer defense against Arraez. That LFer ain't moving off the line.

Arraez leads MLB in hitting. And is one of the lowest on the team in hard-hit ball percentage. I think there might be something learnable there. 

What's to learn is that you don't need to hit the ball hard so long as you make very little soft contact (Luis is 8th in MLB at just under 10%) and are elite at making contact in general (Luis is 1st in MLB).  It's very hard to do both of those things, so what's learnable is that Luis Arraez is really freaking good at hitting.

Jackie Robinson would not have gone 0-3.

Let's send Kendall to the grave, man!

Gordon scheduled to bat 5th this inning.  Were it me, and that spot comes up, I'm putting Correa in to pinch hit.

Hip hip!

Pole-anco!

A certain Moody Blues song comes to mind watching this game.

"Ride My See Saw" would work.  (Or maybe "Isn't Life Strange?")

Hammered that one!

Jax and Duran to get 9 outs between them?  Duran in the 7th and part of the 8th, Jax to close it out?

I know you are not new here….

I believe the Twins, including Rocco want this game, and if you can’t use Pagan in the 5th when can you use him?

My controversial opinion is that if Polanco starts hitting like he did last year, the Twins offense will be better.

You might be on to something there.  I'd put him in for the defense, for sure.

Enjoy the game! Send some picks of Kirilloff's home runs today.

I’m a little slow on the trigger, but is this close enough? And I’ve got a second one kinda like it now.

Perhaps just me, but my life has been much more enjoyable 30 and after than 29 and before.

Jax will get the 7th.

You enjoyed Polanco being 29?  Odd, but ok.

Since it was posted when Pagan was "pitching", I just assumed it was "Go Now".

You are correct it would seem.  I thought perhaps Duran in the 7th, given that it's 2-3-4 in the 7th.

I got married when I was 29. 

No further exposition.

It appears you have...migrated your vantage point about 8 or 10 sections.

I’ve enjoyed Perkins’ commentary, but much like all the analysts, I will probably get a little tired of him after a while.
