[Aggies7]

I hope FSN north takes their field mic out of whatever luxury box it's currently in. Can't listen to those people cackle all night.

[HitInAPinch]

Zuuuuuuuke   

[ashbury]

Buxton Would Have Had That One. ^TM

[Craig Arko]

Let's go, J.O.

[ashbury]

My Kepler man-crush is just getting worse and worse.  Or better and better, I guess.

If he wasn't your daughter, you'd be dating him, you're saying?

 

[Danchat]

I think Kepler is my new favorite Twin. I kinda stopped having favorite players a while ago, but Kepler is transcending that decision.

[King]

Kepler with the home run. Berrios K and groundout to start the game.

 

Very nice start. I'm super excited to watch Berrios pitch for the rest of the year.

[Aggies7]

Has berrios been this rough with control in the minors? Too lazy to look up the stats

[HitInAPinch]

Welp, somebody sure put the jinx on Berrios.  Not pointing fingers.

Some of Berrios's pitches are so good, but he loses command here and there.

[Intramural Legend]

Welp - this has not been the start we were hoping for

[amjgt]

Why can't we have nice things?

[Aggies7]

Buxton

Sano

Berrios

 

Can one of these prospects step up? Like ever?

[Woody Wants Wins]

Hope Berrios gets out of the first inning.  Reminds me of first 4 starts.

[Intramural Legend]

Dear Paul Molitor: Just remember, the Twins are out of it this year.  The rest of the year is all about the future.

Why can't we have nice things?

here ya go:

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Why can't he hang in the majors?? It literally makes no sense... Done getting excited for literally anything about this team. Sky is falling.

Sadly, same here.

[ashbury]

Anti-jinx serum, STAT!

[Aggies7]

Something about confidence....all the great tools in the world can't overcome a lack of it.

You didn't enjoy the top of the inning?

[Willihammer]

Rosario!

[Willihammer]

Ma boiiiii

[Aggies7]

Yay!

[S.]

I propose we give Berrios another lead and a second chance to hold it in the second inning. Get a little bit of confidence going for him.

[HitInAPinch]

^{ROSARIO !! http://www.umtownship.org/images/pages/N1175/sun_fw%5B1%5D.jpg}

 

[Woody Wants Wins]

Well Kepler and Rosario are having good starts here.  Now Berrios just trust his stuff and throw.  If they hit it, so what, at least hit a pitchers pitch (Bert saying).  But he looks like he nibbled all through the inning.  Falling behind and then having to throw over the middle on hitters counts.

[Danchat]

I'm not concerned yet. Our other starters (Gibson, May come to mind) struggled very badly when they first came up, and it took time for them to learn. Berrios will get better.

[ashbury]

Game time! Everyone can now join this thread!

 

This is one of those strange games where I would much rather see a 1-0 loss than a 10-7 win!

Looking like you may have to be satisfied with the latter.

[S.]

I guess if we're going to give up 4 more runs, it might as well be from the bullpen, since we expect them to suck where as it'd be nice to see Berrios have a little success.
