Thanks for the update. I figured it was probably something along those lines.

I'm unable to watch the game and just saw that Shoemaker was ejected. Anyone know what happened?

I'm right there with ya. I live down the street from the Life Care Center in Kirkland, where the biggest outbreak occurred. Fortunately, I'm able to work from home most of the time, but it's hard now that my kids are going to be out of school for the next 6 weeks. None of us have shown any symptoms yet though (knock on wood), but we're still being cautious. Even though it's inconvenient that everything is closing down, I think it was the right move. I sure am bummer about March Madness being cancelled and baseball season being delayed though.

This is a great post, and one that I can certainly relate to. It's always nice to hear from other fans who have the same experiences following their team from afar. And I completely agree with your take on the time zone difference....I love that I can watch most Twins games starting at 5pm.

Stashak pitching again. I don't get it.

I totally agree with you. I was just trying to come up with the only possible explanation for pulling him an inning early.

I'm not satisfied with the post season failures, but I'm not going to jump off a cliff because they didn't win the World Series.

Exactly! This season has probably been the most fun I ever remember watching baseball. They're off to a bad start this series, but how about a little perspective. Not many expected them to make it this far.

Ok, it was only 1 run. Hopefully he can settle down and keep the Yankees in check the next 4 innings. Now the bats need to come alive....BIG TIME.

I agree. The only reason for not sending Berrios out for the 5th might be because they plan on using him in game 4. Perhaps they will use an opener for 2 innings, have Berrios pitch 4 innings, then go to their top dogs in the bullpen for the last 3. If that isn't then plan, then he should have gone back out for the 5th.

CJ Cron should not play more than once a week.

Living near Mariners' fans has made me appreciate just seeing my team reach the playoffs. I'm not going to take that for granted.

I'd rather have them get swept in the first round than miss the playoffs.

The Tigers must be really good this year.

Too bad the Twins' season is over, because that game was fun!

Rogers is going back out there. Mark him down for unavailable tomorrow

I think Rogers is pitching here because it's the middle of the order. Then, Parker can face the bottom of the order next inning. Not a terrible strategy.

Buxton catches that ball.

Nevermind, that last angle was perfect.

Looks like he was safe, but I don't know if there's a good enough angle to overturn it.

This home plate ump is really, really bad.

I know things look bleak right now, but if the Twins can win even one game in this series, they'll still be in the driver's seat. The Indians are not going to stay this hot forever and the Twins will turn things around at some point. Keep the faith.

He's not good enough to pitch in the Majors.

Twins should look into creating a position for a bullpen management specialist, because that's the one thing Rocco seems to really struggle with.

Someone being encouraged by 5 runs over 6 innings tells us all we need to know about Kohl Stewart.
