But I can't say 3 errors in one inning is good. And I don't wish to ignore it.

I know ST stats don't mean diddly. 

But 3 errors in one inning still sucks.

Losing a player to an injury when health is the most important thing in a 162 games season far outweighs any amount of errors in a single inning. Twins players likey have been told over and over not to put themselves at injury risk and Gordon did it anyway. I recognize these guys all have a competitive spirit, but it doesn't matter if this team loses every single game. 

Sure, most players don't get hurt on that play, but that play has a higher chance of bringing injury and for a guy like Gordon who is guaranteed a spot, it's silly.

Pagan ritual in progress.

Looks like the same old Pagan to me.

Great to see Pagan in midseason form!

[HokieRif]

Pagan picking up the season right off where he ended '22

[puckstopper1]

Awesome to see that Pagan is already in mid-season form!

As a Hokie I had to cringe (a lot) watching that... I'm a little surprised the ump didn't give him the catch because it looked like he bobbled the transfer, not the catch.

[CRF]

Wow...I know it's ST and means nothing, but Pagan REALLY has to go.

Emilio Begone.

If there was any doubt, there shouldn't be now about Pagan. Where is his stuff. This is good time for FO to see that they're wrong. If so many teams were asking about Pagan, why didn't they make a deal.

Hopefully Rocco keeps rolling him out for the next few weeks to hammer the point home.  He should need a perfect spring to make the team.

[Danchat]

It’s hard to believe they are down to pay Pagan $3.5M… and yet wouldn’t offer Fulmer $4M. And a couple years back they wouldn’t take Wisler for $1M. 

[Doctor Gast]

They put Sabato as PR. Go Sabato! steal another base!

[HokieRif]

LOL... Somebody needs tell Sabato that the bases were enlarged by 3", not 30'.

[puckstopper1]

Hey Emilio - when does the bus to Wichita leave??

[Jocko87]

This whole game is a mess.  Good thing its practice.

[joefish]

I hope we see Paul Molitor's impact on the team over the course of the season. 

Have we offered him a managing position in our Minor leagues? It's a step back, I know, but I think he has much to offer our young players.

He’d be better as a roving instructor

He has been a roving batting instructor. I don’t know if that’s still what he’ll be doing or not?

[Craig Arko]

How bad did the injury to Gordon look?

[Dman]

Man I can't remember a game with this many errors.
