MAX MAX MAX!!!

[Aggies7]

Hell yeah let’s go!

[Doubles]

Really, Richard?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Escobar might be my new unexplainable favorite Twin

He’s awesome. You should look up videos of the guy. He’s a clown.

[Jax]

Explosion!!!

[lukeduke1980]

Mad Max baby!

[yarnivek1972]

More of that vs lhp by Kepler please.

[Jax]

Really, Richard?

Might need the glasses checked

[wavedog]

I believe I read in the very excellent series preview on this site that the Pirates bullpen was weak outside of their very good closer.   Good insight I am glad to see us take advantage of!  

[SwainZag]

Kepp-y!

[big dog]

I like this team...

[Mill1634]

Twins refuse to hit a homer with runners on

[Danchat]

Gotta love how they brought out the lefty specifically to get Kepler out and he nails a double on the first pitch he sees. NOICE!

I love the vids of him trying to name his teammates, coaches and mascots.    JACE BONG

He was only off by inches, I mean feet, ok a couple of yards.

I guess one of the most liked guy on the team

[gocgo]

 

Felipe Rivero is their stud closer who throws 100+, but I believe he pitched in both games of the double header yesterday

Yup.  Outside of him, they are thin.

[yarnivek1972]

So, what aren’t we supposed to ask the new Pirate pitcher about?

[Doubles]

Esco is said to be one of the most joyous Twins to be around at the ballpark.  

 

And, as Brock noted, the Escobar Name Game videos are hi-larious. 

 

And, oh by the way, the guy can play a little bit.  How can ya not love the guy?

True, but one got netting in front of the right field stands and the other hit the center field wall, so...come on.

Or that he just calls a full 25% of his teammates “caballo”.

[Jax]

Who measuring anyhow

Lol

[LaBombo]

 

Richard with the gone call

Lol

 

He usually overreacts to non-homers much faster. It's good to see that his changeup is already in late-season form

[Jax]

Come on Bux

[bird]

 

yes or yes question: what comes first ... a mauer homer or a sano single?

 

I'll put a gazillion dollars on the Sano single please.

[mickeymental]

the neverauskas jokes kinda write themselves.

[FattCrapps]

"This ball is....GONE!!"

 

(ball bounces off the lower portion of the wall)

[Jerr]

Pahleeze Bux get the run in!!!!!

 

[Jax]

Lol

 

Bad news bears

[big dog]

Wow.  That was a fun popup for our side.
