[Mike Sixel]

 

Hahahaha ... this wins ...

proving humor is subjective!

 

Twins win, 5-1. Book it.

[Danchat]

 

One of whom used to be ours, whom we gave away for nothin'...

 

The one with the .894 OPS

Let's remember that there was a point where Herrmann and [Eric] Fryer were raking in a small sample size too. I doubt he'll sustain that through a full season.

[Nine of twelve]

Laurel.

Trade Molitor to Detroit for Gardenhire and a catcher?

Can Ausmus still catch? 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

 

Post your favorite Gardy quotes...

"We'll be back tomorrow night. I can promise you that."

"Tough loss."

"I've got my cell phone handy in case if that big trade happens." Note: it never happened.

Hopefully Gardy says "gotta tip your cap" a lot this week

Kills 2 birds with one stone... Brilliant!

[USAFChief]

And awayyyyy we go.

He's gotta be younger'n Bobby Wilson, no?

I thought MLB was coming down hard on rule-breakers regarding shoe color. Buck is wearing white spikes tonight.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

And awayyyyy we go.

And awayyyyy it went

 

1-0 bad guys after a long home run

They are coming down hard, but not as hard as Buxton comes down after crashing into the fence

[Aggies7]

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Welp, at least Niko Goodrum struck out last inning

4 pitch walk to the 9 hitter, who was trying to sac bunt

That's bad, right?

[Aggies7]

Well just let Castellanos beat us himself

[VATwinsFan]

Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., Juan Soto, the 18-1/2-year-old that the Nationals just called up, hit a 3-run homer on the first pitch he saw in his first game as a starter.  

 

Must be rough.

Bah. It's not like he's young like the Twins.

[Mike Sixel]

Guess my score prediction is wrong already. Sigh.

When was the last time we even hit a 3 run homer?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Well just let Castellanos beat us himself

same pitch, same location

 

who woulda thunk that could happen

[Aggies7]

When was the last time we even hit a 3 run homer?

Allow myself to answer...myself

 

It was the first game of the angels series, may 10. Dozier hit it

[VATwinsFan]

Re the discussion on Killebrew striking out, he struck out 100 times or more 7 times but only twice did he strike out over 130 times (135 and 142).  He also had 100 or more BBs 7 times.

[Mike Sixel]

I don't need to see Grossman anymore. There is no upside on offense, and we know about his defense. Move on.

Sorry I didn't answer, I was too busy watching another Twins batter hit another feeble pop up
