Dang mound visits slowing the game down

[LaBombo]

 

OK...somebody 'splain to me what Zach Duke is doing facing Altuve and Correa??

 

 

You don't sweat platoon splits when you've got The Duke on the mound.

Getting them out apparently.

I think the best thing to do for now is move Sano down a few spots in the lineup and put someone like Kepler in the 3 hole.  Or anyone who can make contact with the ball, really.

 

I mentioned this a week ago but Sano was in the middle of a remarkable (and unsustainable) tear of big hits, so the idea fell flat. After some predictable BABIP regression we're really feeling the pain of all those K's in a critical lineup spot. I personally like the idea of Kepler hitting in front of Sano.

I had to mute it. If you go to a baseball game and scream "woo" over and over, do us all a favor and kill yourself.

[bighat]

Not sure if this has been addressed yet...but are Twins fans doing this "wooo" thing that's currently ruining baseball in cities like Pittsburgh?

Guess we're on the same wavelength here.

[Mill1634]

Very nice inning by the Duke

[LaBombo]

Well, Duke didn't look like the right tool for the job, but apparently Molitor's managerial mojo is working tonight.

[LaBombo]

 

Yeah, now you've lost most of us.

 

The nerds who put together the periodic table didn't leave me much to work with. No wonder people hate chemistry.

[Mill1634]

Reed has strep throat, according to the broadcast

[Aggies7]

Reed has strep? Tough break. Reminds me of when I caught mono in 11th grade from kissing the village bicycle

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Are we there yet?

Garver has only impressed me

[Aggies7]

Man we need like eleventy billion runs for me to feel safe with Fernando on the mound

You got gypped, man. The rest of us went for a ride.

While Sano's big hits were "unsustainable", can we also agree that his record-setting strikeout pace is also unsustainable? I'm just as upset as the next guy, but he's got to get better...right?

All them swings and misses.  Finally gave him a cold

[Mill1634]

That is an inside the parker if that is dropped. Great catch.

[bighat]

Amazing robbery by Springer there! Dang.

Sigh of relief. Thought they said Streep throat...

I know. I only got to second base and ended up missing the first month of baseball season. Story of my life

You should have followed safe biking and worn a helmet to protect from bicycling transmitted diseases.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Bummer about the Buxton AB

 

those will fall at some point

[Aggies7]

At that age I was just happy to have a bike

[Mill1634]

Joe looks great early in the season. Fantastic for the twins

[Danchat]

Wow, 4 walks for Dozier.

[bighat]

Rack another hit up on that "Mauer Meter"!
