Can anyone watching the game let me know what the attendance is like?  Listening on the radio it sounds EXTREMELY quiet.

I would imagine it is hard to hear the sound of people blowing into their hands......

[ashbury]

I was more keeping myself from commenting on sitting the German......what is he up for here, exactly? Is this how you develop your best hitting prospect?

 

stuff like that......

While pondering an answer to your question I missed how a Sox runner got to third. Thanks a lot.

I sometimes find the crowd is quiet when the weather is cold outside. They seem to get more into the game once it warms up and also when it gets later in the game.

[Aggies7]

I'm sure the crowd will be buzzing now (sarcasm). Are twins fans capable of booing?

And when Bert sneaks out and lights their shoelaces on fire.

Why did they have the infield in with 1 out a guy on third in the 2nd inning?  Just get the out and deal with giving up the run.

I'm assuming it has something with the twins averaging a hefty 2 runs a game.

[Craig Arko]

Time for me to relinquish my seat at the table. Good afternoon, ladies and germs.

[DrNeau]

Let's go, boys. Turn it around!

[Halsey Hall]

Bat Mauer 2nd and he grounds into a double play. Sometimes nothing seems to go right. 

[Danchat]

Whoa, did Rosario just take a walK?!

 

Wow, that's pretty rare.

[James]

Rosario walked???  

[Loosey]

Did Rosario just walk?  It must be too cold for him to swing the bat?

[Aggies7]

 

man, escobar is solid

[Cap'n Piranha]

43.6% of the Twins outs this year have been strikeouts.  If that pace continues, they will break the single-season k record for a team.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By more than FIVE HUNDRED strikeouts.

pinch hit for Suzuki here?

I didn't see the hit, but would it have mattered if they were playing back?

[Cap'n Piranha]

Is it bad that with two out and Suzuki batting, I just want to save time and concede the out so we can get to the next inning?

[Loosey]

They would have gotten the out at 1st but still given up the run.  Ended up not mattering, but still. . . .

Man, that K w/ RISP is creeping up on 50%.

Unfathomable

Sounds like you need some better deep sea equipment.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Cory Provus is already beaten down by the Twins, as he declared Rollins is still a good player.  I guess he really liked that .224/.285/.358 slash line last year.

 

To be fair, that would be our 4th best hitter so far this year, so maybe he's on to something.

Park is starting in a small sample size that these International Free agent signings of players that are supposed to be major league talents is something the Minnesota Twins should just stay away from.

Park looks like he is guessing and has no idea or a plan once he he steps into the box every at bat. I get that he is a major league rookie other than his age, but he is looking more and more like a Nishioka re-dux. 

I would rather have Mastroianni up from AAA then continue to watch Park flail away at bad pitches.

I look forward to more Park, no Mastrionni. Park is at least fascinating. (my opinion only, of course.)

[Loosey]

I'm calling it Buxton Triple.

Hopefully three bases type of triple.  Not three strikes kind.

Got Byung Ho Strikeout instead of bullpen help.. #TerryRyanThings

Nope, strikeout on 4 pitches.
