I really doubt he’ll run.

On the off chance Buxton reaches, do they consider have him try to steal?

I thought they should have run for Sánchez.

Well, I think it is both a bullpen issue and an offense issue. Not getting runners in from third base with less than two out really is telling.

Snap!

Oh man.

If/when Miranda is sent down, he needs to work on being more selective.

Don’t want to PH Gordon here?

Bases loaded, nobody out = kryptonite.

Baseball in the ‘20s. Smeltzer did his job and then some. He certainly will get another start. It would have been nice to get a W. It doesn’t change the fact he had a great outing.

Two straight leads blown. Not a good trend.

Just 7 for Devin.

Bench him.

A bit off-topic. I think Dallas Keuchel is cooked.

Good hitting by Celestino. The right handed not quite regulars have produced.

He’s not a .143 hitter. He might not walk more than La Tortuga, but he can hit.

Devin has a potty mouth.

Butch was 0-39, so Buck has a little room.

The all-time record for hitless at-bats by a Twin position player belonged to Butch Wynegar, I believe. IIRC, it was around 30 at-bats. Buxton is getting too close.

Buck below the Mendoza Line.

Arraez for Gio is basically a wash. As far as being a base runner at first.

Soft liner to third.

What is your prediction record?

Good to hear that Alcala is progressing. It would be great to have him back (and effective) in a couple weeks.

Smeltzer exceeds his strikeout total from his last start!
