Welcome to another exciting Twins Daily Game Thread!  I am writing this introduction today from the beautiful Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, Virginia.  I had an entirely different introduction pl

We're only six games into the season but Castro is making Falvey and Levine look like geniuses thus far.

Will miss the game today as we're going to watch our nephew Rush sing and dance in West Side Story at the Ordway.

How many were holding their breath with Sanó chasing that foul pop?

I was worried about it bouncing off his head.

Two takeaways:

 

One: I can't hate on Mauer any more, after those great catches he made.

 

Two: Kintzler and the team gutted through a game where Kintzler didn't have his best stuff.

 

For whatever reason, in the early season, this team is not the team of last year.

Just got here -- if someone would not have said something to jinx yesterday's game we would be 6-0 right now.    

My fault, I was busy most of the game and the first 4 games I watched from the first pitch. :)

I think Joe was surprised he caught that one. 

 

Wow, we're 5-1! I'd like to see how this team will play against a playoff-caliber opponent.

The Twins are 5-1 against teams that are supposed to be beatable. Good teams are supposed to beat these teams. Yes, it's early to call this Twins team good or even marginal. The early indications are promising, however.

At least this year the Twins are not at the top of that list of beatable teams.

It isn't. The vibe and energy is opposite of last year. I'm not saying the Twins are going to be kings of the castle, but I think we can look forward to a summer of this team playing competent and competitive baseball. 

 

Man it feels so good!

Now that's a great observation.

It seems to me that the chemistry has greatly improved, and I am loving the pitch framing.

Great Win!!  I'll take credit for it.  

 

I think the team read some of my more inspirational quotes... :)  Wish I could have seen it.

You did very well today.
