Game Thread: Twins vs Cleveland @ 1:10PM PT (3:10PM CT)

[Jerr]

6 up,6 down BERRIOS!!! BAM!!!

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

We take pace of game seriously round here!

[bighat]

Michael Reed starting in RF for San Fran right now, interesting tidbit.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Don't look now, but the Twins lineup is on pace to be the worst of all time.

I looked into the tarp, Ray.

"It's a tarp!"

I bet if Rosario had burst out of the box on that third strike, he might have made the throw to first close...

[Mike Sixel]

 

I'm in Seattle, so the only time I see the TV broadcast is when it's the Free Game of the Day.  In the past, every game has been so designated on opening day, but not this year.  Cheap-ass Manfred.

 

I can't believe they aren't all free this year. Unreal, even. They really don't want new fans.

[kydoty]

Bruno Mars’ “That’s what I like” is C.J. Cron’s walkup song. Okay then.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Berrios fills a count.

Of course, there are so many free streaming sites around that Cap'n Pirannah can watch as many games as he wants free of charge.

[bighat]

Berrios is DEALING.

 

One of these Twins hitters needs to take a few pitches next inning. Foul a few off.

[rghrbek]

Every Twin has swung at first pitch except Cruz.  Must be in the game plan.

 

Batters eye looks much much better and an over all major improvement to the park (much to Cuddy's chagrin), but the advertising there is obnoxious.  At least in hockey it's not constantly there because the puck moves.  Now we get to see it over multiple at bats and it really sticks out (on TV)

Just seems like a new place they can put a digital advertisement on during the game

Are any of these free streaming sites approved by MLB, or are they the Napster of video streaming?

[SF Twins Fan]

Let's go Twins, let's go. Clap clap. Let's go Twins, let's go. Clap clap.  Berrios is shutting them down!!! Just need the bat's to come around. I'm calling it - Buxton with a double for the first hit of the season.

Yup it is, and most views are from centerfield, but it just really jumps out from behind home plate view.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Buxton!

 

(i'm just gapoy to see him at bat...)

 

Flies out to left to end the 3rd.

 

18 up then down.

[yarnivek1972]

22 pitches.

 

That would be one inning for Odorizzi. Kluber could go 12 today...

Not approved, but not hard to find. I personally pay for the MLB.TV subscription as I also live out of market.

[Cap'n Piranha]

All good things must come to an end.

[RaoulDuke]

Mauer woulda had that =o

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Leas off double by a diving first baseman.

 

Let's see if Berrios can work round it... A pop out....

[Pants_andy]

Totally thought the same thing. Mauer woulda had it. Haha

[bighat]

Me three!

[nater79a]

Was thinking the same.   

Cron probably doesn't have the same lateral reaction time as Mauer on a ball like that.

[strumdatjaguar]

The juniper batters eye isn’t enough to rid the team of the curse of the pine trees. Hopefully this team is good enough to succeed despite the ongoing curse. Use the juniper berries to make Twins Gin!!!

Is that Molitor sitting right behind home plate with sunglasses on? That would be such a power move. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Berrios walks the batter on another full count, creating a force on the leadoff double.

I think it is, odd flex. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Strands 2 in the 4th. Can return the favor?
