I also cringed at that ball in the dirt.

 

Blocked by Garver!

 

Amazing! 

 

Blocked ball by Garver and no walks by Lynn, all in the same inning!

[Puckett34]

 

no bar Lynn could limbo under.

 

Well he does have a rockin Dad bod

[Puckett34]

 

Dick and Roy really going hard on the “he missed spring training excuse” tonight. It’s May 5. How much longer will that be acceptable?

About 2 weeks ago

Also, didn't notice that I went over 1,000 posts on Twins Daily.   I guess we don't get a parade?   Does that happen after 3k?

I recently crossed 3k and nothing happened, so don't get your hopes up.

[DocBauer]

Wow! 3 up and 3 down and nothing scary happened? What is going on here?

Guess I'll keep on posting to find the parade threshold

[DocBauer]

You only get rewarded for milestones like that when you play in NY or CA

I did feel a bit of a chill in the air.

Lynn has been a complete dud so far

Can you imagine if we would have paid him the 4 years $80 million he was asking for?  "Market rates" for these guys over 30 is over.

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.

ROSARIO

[Danchat]

Rosario!!! 

[Puckett34]

EDDIE

[Puckett34]

 

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.

If only Nunez was still on the team

Official ice out on Minnetonka came today.  Tying a record for latest ice out since 1857.  

 

I went out crappie fishing today and caught and released over 50 of them.  It was 83 degrees and I'm sunburnt.  The grill is fired up and the Twins are up by 5.  

 

If the Twins win it will be a perfect day...

[Circus Boy]

 

He's already given up a run...

I think I got my post in a millisecond before the run scored.

I'm over 4K. I barely noticed.

How can boating, fishing and grilling not be a perfect day? A Twins win is merely icing.

It's the cherry on top.  The bourbon tastes good too.

Is this serious? Wow

[Aggies7]

I feel bad for Santiago. Didn’t dislike him when he was with us but clearly he’s on fumes

[Monkeypaws]

Lynn throwing 94-95 in the zone. Looks like the guy we thought we signed.

[twinssporto]

Dick talking about how "maniacal" Abreu is about staying in shape and watching his weight.  I wonder if we can get his trainers to work with Sano?

[twinssporto]

Dead serious.  Crazy winter/spring

For me it was disc golf and grilling - pretty dang near perfect.

Yeah, he's a pretty cool dude from what I've heard from him on the radio last year. Unfortunately, his velocity has declined and he hasn't gotten over that injury from last year. It sucks to see guys like him and Hughes bottom out so quickly, but unfortunately that's what happens to many pitchers in the MLB nowadays.

Funny how one of the favorite phrases thrown around by Twins veterans these last several years is "not tryin' to do too much"

 

Heaven forbid you get caught doing that!

We had a top 10 coldest April on record here, but the ice left in like mid March
