Was more talking about the"defense ".....but thanks for the concise summary. Very efficient.

 

Edit, and thanks also for the longer replies. This meeting I am stuck in for 3 days. .....not sure I can make it.

No wonder you have trouble being positive. Do they at least let you out to use the bathroom?

 

FWIW, I've spent most of the day in airports...

[shimrod]

The Twin's D is brutal....big contrast with the Royals.

[Gibby]

  Did you guys see the Away with Geese commercial...or am I really that drugged?

[diehardtwinsfan]

For watching Twins games, what do you recommend?  I can add FS North HD for $11 or MLB Extra for $$$.  I think there's blackouts back and forth...

Are they paying you $11/month? I think you should ask for more.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

The contrast of fielding skills between these two teams should be apparent to everyone. I hope everyone.

 

May looks FANTASTIC. Seriously how can you not be fired up!!!

[70charger]

I really think my feed is several minutes behind live. Not too surprising, Istanbul is not exactly known for its infrastructure. Of course, this means that I get lots and lots of mini-spoilers every time I read something on this thread.

 

This would be a problem if this season's Twins were big on the whole drama thing.

Interesting statistics:

 

Kansas City Royals are currently 6-0, which means that they are on track to win all the games they play this year.

 

Minnesota Twins have currently won all they games they scored first in, which means that they are on track to win all the games they score first in this year.

 

Prepare yourself for the longest game in the history of Major League Baseball.

So question of the day. If Hunter was in LF tracking the flyball he hit to LF, would he have caught it?

Okay, everyone. Any comments on the game must be preceded with 'SPOILER ALERT.'

 

But yeah, the Internet stream is always slower.

D. Blue Ice -- Blue Ice is frozen sewage that can fall from airplanes above and crash into your house and therefore be a home opener.

 

When I saw "It's the Home Opener for the Twins... Watch out for Blue Ice!!!" I thought "at least it's better than yellow snow."  Apparently I was wrong.

[Mike Sixel]

70charger what you doing there? My neighbor and his family go every year with his architecture students.

Yellow snow + Blue ice = Green ?

Yeah, the blue ice thing reminds me of that story from Chicago. A tour bus was crossing the river on a grated bridge and drops its 'waste load' just as a tour boat was going by underneath.

Maybe instead of "Providing independent coverage of the Minnesota Twins," TD should say "Providing live internet streaming on Minnesota Twins games with a wide variety in delivery methods."

I've often noticed that that's the color of the snow in Wisconsin.

[mnfireman]

At 2-21 with 7 K's it would seem Trevor Plouffe's job is safe. He has looked horrible in every AB I have seen this year. June/July & Sano cannot get here soon enough.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

An easy 3 out inning for May. We need more 3 out innings for our pitchers.

[Hrbowski]

Of course, and the color of their grass is green, but our grass is yellow and our snow is purple.

Wasn't that the Dave Matthews Band bus? Somehow I think that makes it more gross.

How come no error on the Dozier/Santana play?  Home cookin'?

[D. Hocking]

When a team has shown it is capable of consistently playing elite defense, I think they are given the benefit of the doubt when it comes to errors.  

[Mill1634]

Twins just need to get bats. Can't blame the pitching when we average 1 run a game.

[shimrod]

Which bad play are you referring to? The grounder neither player fielded or the botched double play where they failed to get anyone out?

What is up with him at the plate? I haven't been able to watch most these games, so what is he doing wrong, specifically?

[Halsey Hall]

The botched double play.

[shimrod]

It's many years since the Twins played elite defense.

[Halsey Hall]

Nothing.  He's just not any good.

[Mill1634]

He misses the ball.

[Hrbowski]

Twins having a tough time just playing fundamental ball.
