Whole team looks Flat today, Ever since the 1st inning when Kepler looked ??? on that fly ball

[MMMordabito]

Maybe the Twins are lulling them to sleep ... Straily is quietly at 89 pitches through 4 innings on a cold day ... Cobb already made them burn pen innings early ... I'm hoping for a late-inning barrage

I'm not sure what's wrong with Gonzalez, but he looks completely over-matched at the plate.

Defensive Castro ..... making the great throw, eh?

[h2oface]

Berrios takes too long with the high leg in the stretch. Easy to steal on.

[mrtwinsfan]

 

He should have a "injury" and get some time in extended spring training until he can contrubute instead of being a liability.

Sano may not be in the majors again until late May. i just read,

Agreed, we look pretty flat today. Cold weather, the opponent,  and a game just 15 hours after the previous one probably has something to do with that. Something needs to happen to get the crowd and team into it.

Berrios needs to work on a slide step with runners on

 Absolutely. He takes way too much time once he starts to the plate.

[h2oface]

Two games in a row, and against the Orioles, that Berrios is just not that ace. Frustrating game. Now Berrios' game to lose.

Berrios needs to get his velo back, he gets a lot of sharp hits in low velo.

Defense hasn't helped him much at all today, and he doesn't seem to have his best stuff.

This game is CRAWLING

Yeah, I left and went to Modist to get a couple CROWLERS. I love this Twins Pass thing ... Fair weather fandom at its best

Sorry, didn't read every comment; just getting here.  MLB.tv Free Game of the Day.

 

Looking like they picked a real dud for a freebie?

[h2oface]

My feed is like 20 seconds behind gameday.

 

OK Kepler.... you owe us one for your earler play.....

[h2oface]

See how you play outfield there, MAX! You can catch it if you hustle.

Looks like about eight people are there. Free game of the day, and I'm working on the house. Again.

I hope they didn't t hope to roll out of bed and expect to win because they've been playing well and are playing the Orioles. 3 disastrously lazy defensive lapses.

[h2oface]

That is a play Adrianza needs to make! Basically right to you.

I can't understand why these guys don't just bunt away from the shift. You don't even have to be a great bunter. There is nobody even close. You don't even need finesse. Or speed. Automatic single and advancing the runner. Not even a sac bunt.

[Mill1634]

Berrios didn't have his curveball working at all, and is playing against potentially the worst lineup in the MLB, but that was a solid outing for only having two pitches working. The offense must wake up and win this game. 

[Mill1634]

Heck ya, just what we needed. 

[h2oface]

Speed Cruz!

[ScrapTheNickname]

Poor teams lose on days they're flat. Good teams find ways to win. April is a springboard to May. Cliches jump off the tongue like liners off Jorge Polanco's bat.

Cron needs to deliver. The abyss of Gonzalez and Adrianza coming up.

[Mill1634]

CRONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!

 

My prediction looks correct so far!

[stringer bell]

Get ‘em over, get ‘em in seldom happens in the high homer/strikeout era.

What did you get? Stopped there after the opener but I wasn’t impressed with the beer I got and it was too busy to get a flight.
