Game Thread Thursday: Twins @ Yankees, 6:05 PM ET, 9/8/22

[TWTwinsFan]

not running on the wild pitch,running on a soft fly ball

rookies kill the threat

[RpR]

Should have let Billy bat.

[Aggies7]

Just horrendous baserunning by celestino. 

[SanoMustGo]

Ok at this moment, what are the odds the Twins win this game.  I say 20-80.

[MMMordabito]

Perkins: "That's Twins base running in a nutshell. Could have been a sac fly, but it turns into a double-play.' ??

[Aggies7]

Lead off walk to the 9 hitter. Let’s all guess how this is going to turn out.

[TWTwinsFan]

bullpen will hold the yankees until they walk off

[rwilfong86]

So how do the Twins manage to lose this one? Does Gray blow it or does the first reliever in?

[LVTwinsfan]

Reminds me of a play in Little League. I’m on second, runner on first. Batter hits a pop up, runner on first puts his down and runs towards me at second. I’m glued to second base, easy double play. Of course he was a 10 year old so **** happens

[Tlaker]

The base running this year has been Little League bad and has shown no improvement….. Rocco has no answer obviously how to improve it ?‍♂️

[Aggies7]

Please bunt so we can walk judge

This is typically about the time Gray goes off the rails.

Celestino runs us out of the game, just like yesterday

[Aggies7]

Is this the part of the show where gray just completely loses the strike zone 

[h2oface]

That ump is blind.

Yesterday wasn’t on him, but he’s made two blunders this series. 3 if you count the not taking third 

[wavedog]

Inexcusable base-running - not it is even little league level.  Someone please coach him or send him back to AAA

I know it was totally on the base coach

[Aggies7]

I would give the 4 fingers here to be honest

Glad to be wrong 

[SanoMustGo]

Seems highly likely that that play will end up being the turning point like yesterday 

[SanoMustGo]

Lucky, nothing else

And how he is done, so the Yankees can't get the automatic out

I don’t know, but neither of those guys should ever be mentioned with Ted Williams

You mean one of Rocco’s 16 coaches… or I mean , middle managers?

[h2oface]

Ha! Even Perkins is saying it now.

"It's all out there in front of them."

The shot game. Have to take a shot whenever someone says that, or a similar variation of it!

[LVTwinsfan]

Does anyone here think Rocco holds his players accountable, or base coaches?

[SanoMustGo]

If the Twins lose this game, realistic shot to go 0-7 this week.

[Aggies7]

Gray gets the 6th or we riot 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

ok 66 pitches through 5 innings - for once this year i'd like to see Baldelli let Gray go 7 or 8. Practically nothing to lose here to let him go deep into the game.
