Game Thread: Twins vs Royals@Target Field - 4/6, 10:10am PT (Noon:10 CT)

Buxton saved us a run there. Way to go Pres!

Would be the nice if the Twins' bats erupted an inning earlier today; do it in the bottom of the 6th, not the 7th. I trust this bullpen more with a big lead than I do if the game's tied.

[Blake]

Wow, got out of that one. 

 

Last year, not only would the wheels have come off, the hood would have launched into the stratosphere as the engine exploded into a fiery ball of destruction.

[Mauerpower]

shoot! that was my 100th post. should've posted something more profound...just wait till I hit 1,000!

[MNTSchmitt]

 

Happy birthday!

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. I enjoy coming here and chatting with you all about the game. Let's hope we have another big 7th.

[Mauerpower]

polanco with RCP as his walk up music. I like!

[MNTSchmitt]

And another walk! Do you all think we will keep up this patience at the plate, or is it just the Royals poor pitching?

[SwainZag]

Any chance at a hit and run here?

[Mike Sixel]

I'll say this, Breslow looking better than Jordan Spieth just now.....

[hybridbear]

I like the wild KC bullpen. Let's see Rosario draw BB # 2 today!

It's just one game, but I think the new Kyle Gibson looks a lot like the old Kyle Gibson.

 

The old Kyle wouldn't have struck out 5.  i'll go with encouraged for now.

Methinks it's the pitching, but it's a SSS.

[Oldgoat_MN]

Molitor HAS to get over this bunting fetish he has.

[Mike Sixel]

b2b walks for Rosario. I think maybe KC has a pitching issue...

[diehardtwinsfan]

I'm liking this new Rosario plate discipline.

[HitInAPinch]

Good Lord:  Rosario walks twice!!!

[70charger]

Hell hath frozen over.

[MNTSchmitt]

Rosario with a walk! I think WollyWool's wish may come true about this coming early!

[hybridbear]

Bring on the vitriol for DanSan after his K!

DSan hasn't gotten the memo apparently. 

[gocgo]

That's the kind of stuff from Dan-San that drives me nuts.  Just lay down a bunt.  That's all we need you to do and instead, you strike out without getting a bat on the ball.

[HitInAPinch]

Santana's gotta pull that bat out of the strikeszone if he's not going to bunt. 

[d-mac]

He has two of the Twins 3 K's this game! And he cost us a run on his poor throwing decision! 

[70charger]

Well, I mean, he did whiff a 90 mile an hour fastball dead down the middle of the plate. If Sano made contact with that pitch it'd have left the Twin Cities.

Lead off hitter Brian Dozier batting again with two runners on.

Not vitriol, but that is a lack of execution.  When you are a role player on a team, you need to do the little things right.  So far today, throwing to the wrong base cost us one run and now failing to get the bat on two bunt attempts and then the K.

[hybridbear]

Time for Dozier to be the hero!

2 Strike-Outs...left the bunt in the strike zone when they were balls. Made a big fielding error that cost us the tie-ing run. Don't know why he is up and not Park.....Scratching my head.
