Article: Things to Think About (Game Thread, 4/10 3:10pm)

They can't lose them all.  

[Platoon]

I thought that I was climbing a hill in ND once, but it turned out to be the Buxton exit off I29! What really surprised me is that they named a town after him in ND. But I was more surprised there was no Brianville! I do think we should look at the bright side of the Twins season! Just imagine if they were scoring any runs! The games would take forever. OR! The Twins have acquiesced to a request by MLB to limit their scoring to help speed up the games. Think of it, what would you rather see? Another commercial for a pickup truck? Or the Twins scoring a couple useless runs when already down by 7!

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

What kind of truck is it? Is Alex Meyer or Miguel Sano driving?

[diehardtwinsfan]

 Yeah....keep those positive thoughts and puppy pictures coming.

The breeder said she has a 1 year warranty. Wonder if I could turn her in if they don't win tonight?

 

Rally Puppy!!!

 

 

[Squirrel]

Any way to capture a photo of her with a Twins cap on? And, if truly a rally puppy, with a turned-inside-out Twins cap on?

[Jerr]

We lead in the game!!!!

Circus boy score update: Twins 1, Chicago 0.....top of 1st

That's the first lead for the Twins in 2015, first RBI for a Twins' player in 2015, and first lead for Molitor as a manager!

Woah! Think maybe I'll tune in!

[Danchat]

Time for some positivity, everybody! I think the Twins are gonna win today! We got the bases loaded in the 1st inning!

[Winston Smith]

What a rally. I guess we should be happy with one run.

[Squirrel]

 

We lead in the game!!!!

omg ... do you want to jinx us????? Fer cryin' out loud, man!

[James]

And Milone with a strikeout!  

[Halsey Hall]

Milone is wild, but at least wild down according to gameday.

[ashbury]

Pretty ticky-tack balk call.

 

If TPTB in baseball want to speed up the game, we want to encourage a quick delivery to the plate.

[James]

Mauer takes the old base on balls.

 

All Twins fans are shocked.  

[Danchat]

For the past few seasons, the Twins have surprised me with their lackluster performances with the bases loaded. It looks like that pattern is gonna continue into this year...

[Mike Sixel]

Uh, twice, back to back innings? Or am I not seeing that correctly.......

[jimmer]

Might have done something different if he was given more than one pitch that deserved to be swung at.  Hey, who has the first RBI of the season for the Twins and the 1st run scored? :-)

[Winston Smith]

This is hard to watch. Baseball at it's worst.

[jimmer]

But hey, Hunter was aggressive with his swinging.  Created an out, also didn't score anyone, and didn't extend an inning, but aggressive.  :-)

[stringer bell]

Let's see, if they strand three per inning for nine innings....pretty sure that will set a record.

That was supposed to be a joke.  I will never complain about a Twins player taking a walk.  

[jimmer]

I think I was joining in on the joke.  Should have made that more clear.  My bad.

[ashbury]

Nice play by Dozier and another strikeout for Milone. 1-0 after two.

I suspect, at least for awhile, Mauer might have a few at bats where the pitcher is not going to worry about walking him for fear of who is batting behind him.

[Willihammer]

Mil-0-0-ne

[zchrz]

I like Milone throwing in to the righties more, makes that changeup away nasty.

[Mike Sixel]

Who had:

 

Twins will leave the bases loaded every inning

Milone will shut out the Sox every inning

 

in the pool?

One that may never be broken.
