I'd rather see 10-0, can still show they can pitch vs better teams

[Gibby]

It almost feels like Odorizzi can be trusted.

 

[jorgenswest]

I would have someone warming up

[ashbury]

Odorizzi always looks as though suffering from an upper-respiratory ailment.

Can you two go take this off-line, and get back to us when you reach a consensus?

[Gibby]

Me and my big mouth. I should get a warning if not banning.

[Mill1634]

And here comes the dreaded third time through the order

[operation mindcrime]

I predict that Adrianza will go deep!

Please predict a double play!

[FlauerPauer]

Here we go! One more big time pitch! C'mon, Jake!!!!

[Don Walcott]

Odo falling apart?

[ashbury]

2-1 pitch for a strike. Thank you ump.

 

I always wondered how it felt, to root for a team that gets those calls.

 

Pretty good, as it turns out.

[Don Walcott]

Great framing by Mitch.

[operation mindcrime]

Woooooooo Big Jake!!!

[Gibby]

Never had a doubt.

[FlauerPauer]

WOOOOOO!!! BIG TIME

[Don Walcott]

Nice, Jake!!

[Aggies7]

Bravo, Jake.

[mrtwinsfan]

Is that the first time this year, ?he seemed to always go 5-2/3  Good job Jake

[Mill1634]

jaKe!!!!!!!!!

 

Brilliant start from him, have to think his night may be over?

[Gibby]

It's pretty cool having fun watching the Twins again.

[FlauerPauer]

Can the boys scratch together a run here? Would be huge to get another run or two.

[jorgenswest]

Wow!

 

Best I have seen from Odorizzi and best I have seen from Garver.

[Blake]

 

Never had a doubt.

 

Here, you can borrow this.

[operation mindcrime]

Never had a doubt.

The World could use more optimism like this!

[Blake]

Excellent job, Mr. Odorizzi.

We've forgotten his 1-hit season debut against Cleveland on March 30 already? (Yes - I had to look it up.)

If you had to look it up, I guess you answered your own question.

Small interlude: back in Minneapolis this week helping my mom move to a new house. Packing and came across my old baseball card collection. Literally thousands of cards from the mid 80's - 90's. While the "good ones" are laminated in plastic binders, I did come across several "random" cards of various Twins and players with Minnesota ties:

Nice half-dozen eggs, Odorizzi.

Do you have any Felton Spencer or Luc Longley cards?
