A walk. All Right!!

[OrangeKicks]

Grand Salami Park?

[ScrapTheNickname]

"Park Parks It!"

[Lee-The-Twins-Fan]

Time for Park to park one!!!

Time for Park to park one!!!

I'll never say it again.

[OrangeKicks]

 

Grand Salami Park?

No.

[Lee-The-Twins-Fan]

I'm so disappointed. Bases loaded, and we couldn't score.

[twinsnorth49]

No Parking

[Squirrel]

It's not uncommon to give a callup day or two with the team before putting him in. We could see him in later innings. My guess would be Tuesday to start.

Yup.

[Danchat]

That was a great at-bat by Kepler. Rosario and Buxton better watch out... or Kepler is going to walk all over them. (get it? - "walk" -as in Buxton and Rosario don't have any walks!)

[twinsnorth49]

Yup.

is this the new thing, replying to ourselves?

[Squirrel]

Jepsen needs to get rid of the red glove. It looks like what a 4-year-old unwraps on Christmas morning.

Doesn't Santana have a red glove, too?

[Darius]

Kepler strolls in and is the team's most disciplined hitter (aside from Mauer).

[stringer bell]

Concerned, but not nervous.

No Parking

Like Park getting his strike outs out of the way early

So we must get out bad Park puns out of the way early

As long as TR is in charge, it wouldnt matter if Kepler hit four grand slams today.

[Squirrel]

is this the new thing, replying to ourselves?

Nope

[Hrbowski]

Rosario likes triples.

[OrangeKicks]

0-6.

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

Concerned, but not nervous.

Nervous ...

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Welp, here we go

[Darius]

What is with this team and diving for balls they can't catch?

 

Rosario is just an awful player.

[Ultima Ratio]

With a steel studded bullpen, who could have seen this coming?  Oh, and about standing Buxton at second with no outs.  Turrrrible.

[Lee-The-Twins-Fan]

Cain singles. Hosmer triples... Here we go again!!!

[hybridbear]

I thought Kepler was going to miss that! It was kinda scary watching how he was going back. His reaction made me think it was going into the seats.

[amjgt]

We need to implement a no-triples defense.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Perkins and his 90 mph fastball are going to make for some very intersting finishes this season.   And now Nolasco's great outing his completely wasted.

[Hrbowski]

Kepler is so freaking athletic!!! (Looking at the bright side.)

[deanlambrecht]

Glen Perkins.  Dang.

 

Edit to add:  it's early, but the back end of our bullpen, our two "stoppers," both have an ERA over 10.  Not a very comforting way to begin the season, and if their effectiveness remains below average, how will the front office answer this time?
