Nice win!   Phew!  Above .500 for April, whoda thunk?

Woohoo - we are over .500!

[Blake]

A 4 and 1 road trip. Who is this team and what have they done with the Twins?*

 

*I tried to have the Twins play 9 games in a 6 game road trip. Sheesh.

Kintzler "ground ball pitcher" strikes out the last batter.

 

Not flashy but keeps on getting the job done. 

 

By the way, that low outside corner fastball Kintzler throws is outstanding.

Coeur d'Alene Idaho? Prescott, AZ?

I really hope this is something Hughes can pitch through. He has nothing to fool anybody right now. Lots of loud contact.

Ah, Iceland.

Almost forgot to share: so I'm in a taxi in Colombia yesterday, and look what the driver has on his dash board!   Twins mania, sweeping the world!

Did you ask him about it?

Yeah, Phil is relying heavily on Buxton and company. Of course, it also shows just how important the outfield is.

Beautiful pooch. The aurora borealis is cool too.

Did you ask him about it?

 

I did!  I said, "wow, a Minnesota Twins hat!  That's my team!"  -- he said "Ah yes, good team" or something like that.  I got the impression he liked the hat, but didn't know much about them.  Still....

Sano might not see a pitch to hit for a while.

I once struck up a conversation with someone on the bus wearing a Twins hat. He wasn't a Twins fan. His initials were TC

Castro yaps at umpires a lot.

It's pitch framing.

[AlwaysinModeration]

I've actually seen him endorsing it in ads on Facebook. It's a cross made of bats.

EDIT- Assuming it's the same one.

No, I was referring to the bicycle-tired sized chain that was rattling around his neck as he crossed home plate on the homer. Edited May 1, 2017 by AlwaysinModeration
