At least five above-average plays in the first four innings.

Might be the greatest first 4 innings of defense in twins history. Highlight reels every inning 

I am glad i am watching, too.

Win or lose, the play so far on the field deserves some chicken!

Sorry to take the discussion off the rails…but I just can not listen to Gladden’s play by play. It’s just so bad

thst’s all. I’ll hang up and listen 

I agree 100%. You never know the score, the outs or the inning. He thinks every player is a candidate to steal bases and there's more.

My only gripe is they should be ahead by a lot more than 3-0. Productive outs alone would make it 6-0.

Texas finally getting in on the quality fielding action there.

Does anyone know when the “Gladden-to-English” translation app will be available in the Apple store?

Brutal strike three call there.

I was watching the movie Twister earlier. Does anyone else laugh at the opening scene when the dad gets blown out of the underground storm shelter?

The man is utterly incapable of describing what is happening on the field. Beyond not knowing the score, outs, or inning you don't know if runners advance, you don't know if runners score, you don't know which base the throw is going to, and often you don't even know which base the batter advances to on a hit.

He does OK as an analyst, he tells some good stories, and he'll share the occasional bit of good insight. And he can be funny. Just bring in a third announcer (Atteberry?) to do PBP when Cory gets his innings off.

C'mon, triple play!

We could really use an 8-5 triple play here!

Oh boy, starting to get a sinking feeling after all those guys we’ve left ISP

Oooo boy

I don't want to see Garver up with the bases loaded, none out.

 

And it will happen.

Boy this has really unraveled. If nothing else this means the bullpen will be factor much sooner than it appeared 

Garver!

 

I remember him!

He’s completely and utterly lost it

Never good thing for Twins

Sonny Gray needs the Chris Archer treatment - let him go 4 innings and then take 'em out before he implodes. He's been just horrific in the 5th inning on recently. Extremely unreliable.

Sonny is all over the place. No good

Boy oh boy.

Just hit Garver.

What a mess. And this is the best starter we've got?

HBP...

 

At least it looked like sleeve, and not something that hurt him.

So who’s the first out of the bullpen of horror

You are absolutely correct! Squirrel didn’t like my post and maybe if you are lucky enough to see the game on tv, Gladden’s play by play wouldn’t be so bad as background noise, but believe me, if all you have is him , it’s gawd awful as 9 of 12 so eloquently pointed out.

Why is it impossible for Twins pitchers to go 6-7 innings? Gray was cruising before this...

Didn't look like it hit him.
