WOOOOOOOOOO BYRON!!!!!!!

[IndianaTwin]

This just isn't fair

Sure is fun though. Only things funner would be doing this against the Sox or Cleveland. Okay, Yankees.

[notoriousgod71]

Good thing they moved the fences in last year.

 

Perhaps every stadium should move them out 30 feet.

[Mill1634]

How long until the Twins find out a way to get thrown out on the bases after hitting the ball over the fence?

[notoriousgod71]

 

 

Worry free baseball to follow. Pitchers has no reason not to attack, and hitters have no reason not to attack...

 

No such thing as worry free baseball with Pineda and the bullpen armed and ready.

[MNT1996]

See I like that aggressive base running when we're up, but not when the game is tied like what Rosie did

[DiscGolfer]

So, anyone know what the record is for most home runs by both teams in a 4 game series?

[MNT1996]

This is painful to watch

[notoriousgod71]

My God, catch the ball. This is unwatchable.

[Mill1634]

[Danchat]

I can't watch this. This is one of the worst innings I've seen defensively, and the pitching has been terrible too. I feel for Mariners fans right now.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I see we are winning...

[USAFChief]

It occurs to me, if Woody Allen married Natalie Wood, divorced, married Gregory Peck, divorced, and married Ben Hur, he'd be

 

 

Woody Wood Peck Hur.

I hope this game ends before I have to leave for work tomorrow.

[Don Walcott]

Headline tomorrow morning:

 

“Bremer Knocked Out By Official Scorer”

[USAFChief]

New winner.

[yarnivek1972]

So, maybe the theme song of the 2019 Twins should be “Boom Boom Pow”.

[IndianaTwin]

Cron is first Twin this year to get two hits in an inning. First since Johnny Field last September.

Way to harsh my mellow.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Sano with sacks juiced ...

[MNT1996]

If Pineda can cruise for 6 or 7 this will be a nice game to give Adams an inning 

[notoriousgod71]

These pitching staffs are atrocious. Why would anyone think it's better to have these guys out there than actual pitchers. Cut the pitching staffs down two guys per team and I bet outs are suddenly easier to come by.

[wabene]

Double your pleasure Sano

[DiscGolfer]

just realized Anthony Swarzak is in Seattle's bullpen, didn't realize he was still in the league

[big dog]

If the Twins score 20 tonight to all Twins Daily posters get a free ice cream cone or something?  Seems fair.

 

We've scored 9 runs in 4 innings, and also had runners thrown out at second and third.  Yikes.

[mikeee]

Twins are due for a 5 homerun day.

[USAFChief]

 

Sano with sacks juiced ...

No, he lost weight. I read about it here on TD.

[Blake]

 

I concur, esp. with #3.

 

Although, I have fond memories of falling asleep with the transistor under my pillow trying to listen to those games on the Coast back in my young school days... Then having to wait for the afternoon paper to see who won the game the night before!

And these days, you find out before the game is played, right? 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I’m wondering if this isn’t too much of a good thing, watching the Twins this year is like starting on that third piece of pumpkin pie, after two helpings of the big Thanksgiving dinner.

Second Moderator note: Game threads continue to be a source of frustration at Twins Daily. We hope to have a vehicle for discussing the game as it happens where those participating can feel like they are sitting with friends at the game. With the Twins doing well so far many of the threads have been just that, but a couple losses and a couple poor performances have turned the threads unpleasant for some of us who just want to enjoy the game with friends. Here are some guidelines: If you have an opinion, that is fine, but don't beat it into the ground. The person who might disagree with you is probably just as smart and knows just as much about baseball. No personal attacks and no trolling. This is not the place to come and express every frustration with all things Minnesota Twins. If you don't like something Baldelli is doing, start a new thread. If you think the GM needs to be replaced or the junipers aren't the answer for a batter's eye, don't beat such issues into the ground. Let's try to keep game threads fun!

Try buying a beer for your TD friends.  You'll find a lot in common.  

Stringer, you're buying the next one for me!
