Anybody watching see where that Perez HR pitch was? Gameday had it on the bottom of the strike zone. Didn't appear to be that bad of a pitch. 

[70charger]

Follows it up with a strikeout. Still only at 60 pitches. 

 

Be nice to get some insurance runs though.

[Mauerpower]

5 strikeouts thru 4.1 innings for Gibs 

[gocgo]

Have we trailed yet this year?

Yes, half inning in the opener. 

[MNTSchmitt]

Well that was some pretty shoddy defense.

[hybridbear]

Terrible defense by the Twins there!

[PopRiveter]

They got their one run out of the way. Let the fun begin.

1 st game for 1/2

[youngtwinsfan]

Apparently the rule never throw behind the lead runner no longer applies.  

[MNTSchmitt]

Why was santana throwing to second?

Why was santana throwing to second?

Brain fart.

[Mauerpower]

let's see how they respond with a tied game 

[MNTSchmitt]

I understand Molitor wanting guys getting some playing time in early, but still....that shouldn't happen by at starting LF.

[Mauerpower]

 

let's see how they respond with a tied game 

hopefully like they did in their 1st game

The Twins' defense was really, really good the first couple of games. It's almost like that matters.

Why was santana throwing to second?

I don't think he has a full grasp of this game called baseball.

[Mauerpower]

great start doz! 

[MNTSchmitt]

Dozier doing what a lead off should do....get on base.

[Mauerpower]

agree

[woolywoolhouse]

That didn't take long to get the lead back. I like this team. Responding immediately.

[70charger]

Kep is stinging the ball today!

[MNTSchmitt]

Yes! Love the aggressive play. Nice steal and way for Kepler to capitalize!

[Mauerpower]

so much fun to watch! Great response Twins!

At least Buxton is putting the ball in play.

[MNTSchmitt]

Thought Buxton had a hit there.

[Mauerpower]

Cain should've dove like Buxton does!

[woolywoolhouse]

An intentional walk to Sano, and (just my prediction here) another unintentional walk to Castro.

[MNTSchmitt]

Sano goes yard?
