We need insurance runs.  

[glunn]

 

A MLB outfielder should make that catch. That the White Sox are starting him in center is incredible

A line drive hit at the outfielder can be hard to judge. I think that he is doing just fine and want him to continue all season.

[John Kelsey]

I like Marwin and don't typically care much about the order, but I really don't understand why he's consistently hitting third. 

[glunn]

Rosario!!!

[Don Walcott]

EDDIE!!!

[glunn]

Now we need MORE insurance runs!

[snotboogie]

There it is. Is that enough glunn?

[Diesel]

Roses are red

Violets are blue

The Twins hit dingers for me and for you!

[PDX Twin]

I know this is just a dream. I just hope I don't wake up until November.

It's a decent start, but I want more.

[glunn]

Indians are losing 0-4 in bottom of 6th. Tampa Bay need insurance runs.

Odorizzi is killing batters with the high pitches.

[ashbury]

Nice to come back right after a good scoring inning with 1-2-3 by Odo.

Four-seamer FTW, baby!

Sorry to see that Bart Starr passed away today. Yes, I know he was a Packer, but I found it easy to root for those GB teams in the first Super Bowls. And he always seemed like a class guy.

Did Jack Morris take happy pills this morning? I've never heard him be this positive and enthusiastic about the entire Twins team. I haven't heard him complain once!

Growing up elsewhere, thus he wasn't the enemy for me, he was the first football star( r ) that I was aware of. Kind of a rite of passage to watch stars of our youth pass away.

"Yeah, well, harrumph, back in MY playing days, sonny, we ... um, er, we never quite had a stretch like this."

Maybe he's taking a cue from the Sox announcers.  I'm watching their feed and they have nothing but nice things to say about the Twins.

Oh, sweet mystery of life at last I’ve found you...

Probably the most substantial change is that "keeping the ball down" does little good. It seems a majority of homers are hit on pitches just above the knees to well below the strike zone. Not many swing planes in play to hit pitches in the top of the zone.

[LVTwinsfan]

Hey they caught a pop up!

[snotboogie]

 

Hey they caught a pop up!

It wasn't hit to Tilson.

[snotboogie]

nvm.  Tilson just caught one.

[drock2190]

Hopefully Polanco isn't trying to hit homeruns otherwise his batting average will suffer

[stringer bell]

Probably Odo's last inning. 86 pitches entering the sixth.

Good thing that the bullpen is well rested, assuming that they are not too rusty.

[LVTwinsfan]

93 pitches, really? Puts a lot of pressure on the bullpen for no reason

Another ten pitches would be the difference-maker?
