I was kind of hoping for a 10-spot, just to throw off all the inning frame formatting

Conference on the mound:

 

Dean:  sorry Zuk.  I'm trying to get the ball up....

Suzuki:  yeah, hurry up.  I forgot my cup at home and the boys have been hanging low, like forever!

[ashbury]

Berrios is pitching

[Halsey Hall]

100,000 stations have been turned to another.

[Riverbrian]

 

I'm guessing as soon as Gibson is ready Berrios goes down

 

In all seriousness... I wouldn't do that. 

 

I was all for Buxton going down when he was striking out 50% of the time. 

 

With Berrios he has had a few bad innings and a lot of good innings. Granted... this last inning was real bad but I'd like to see him try and work through this at the MLB level.

 

I'd keep Duffey and Berrios in the rotation come hell or high water for the rest of the year and pick one of the vets for the bullpen. I don't care who.

I was hoping we could hold them to seven. 

 

It's like the 12 days of Christmas.  9 game losing streak, 8 games blown, 7 first inning runs, 6 lousy starts, 5 dumb base running mistakes, 4 stupid manager decisions, three rookies fail, two catchers wasting, and a lost season in 2016.

Our first batter strikes out. Take that Detroit.

I agree just don't think it's going to happen

You know it's not good when you say hope to hold them to seven, In the 1st. Edited May 16, 2016 by Twinsbar107

2 down, 6 to go

[kydoty]

Orlovsky ran out the back of the endzone again.

[Riverbrian]

Suzuki has officially taken the Centeno challenge. 

[Aggies7]

If the majority of the twins' highly touted prospects end up working and leading the team to a title, it will be one of those things every future rebuilding team will point to. Cuz man, this has been a pretty terrible start for all of them.

[Bark's Lounge]

I did not realize the game started at 6:00pm and ended at 6:05pm. I hope tomorrow is better or offers me some opiates. Cripes!

[HitInAPinch]

 

Suzuki has officially taken the Centeno challenge. 

That's gotta be it.  Made all Suzuki needed was getting challenged.  For a change.

[Bark's Lounge]

 

So we give up a touchdown in the first quarter.  Run back the kick-off.

I hope Patterson is up to it.

[Twinsbar107]

How do we challenge the other 8. Specifically looking at you dozier.

The meter and rhythm is a little off.....

[ashbury]

The first inning tonight was hell. You positive you'd put up with that, for 20+ additional starts if that's how it went?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

 

Suzuki has officially taken the Centeno challenge. 

I like it!

[Bark's Lounge]

 

Suzuki has officially taken the Centeno challenge. 

I wonder which one will taste better?

[USAFChief]

But enough about Berrios.

[Mr. Brooks]

Well crap. This isn't going to help with Molitor's trust issues regarding young players.

Hell, 1st inning

It's none of my business to respond to this, but I think I would like people in Hell much more than I would in Heaven.

NOPE

[DiscGolfer]

has Zuk thrown out a single runner this year?  If you're on the other team why not steal every single time.

[Riverbrian]

 

I agree just don't think it's going to happen

 

I'll give Terry Ryan a call and I'll let you know what he says in just a bit. 

[USAFChief]

ftfy.
