[Diesel]

Another fun matchup today. Maeda starts, Rosario, Cruz, and Arraez play, and we get to see Royce Lewis and Gilberto Celestino!

[Diesel]

Maeda hate incoming..,,,

[mrtwinsfan]

Benitendi, welcomes Maeda to the twins, BOOM

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Go Maeda!

 

Handle some adversity.  It's supposed to be good for us.

[USAFChief]

WORST TRADE EVER!!1!

[USAFChief]

also

 

 

FRICKIN' BALDELLI! Always leaves his starter in WAY too long.

[wavedog]

Nice DP turned by Arraez and Lewis! 

[Diesel]

Nice DP turned by Arraez and Lewis!

I still think Arraez is going to eventually be an above average defender at 2nd. He cares too much to not be.

[bighat]

Eovaldi looking good. Twins swingin' and missin'!

 

Edit: Except for La Tortuga. Nice!

[Brock Beauchamp]

 

WORST TRADE EVER!!1!

A WHIP of 1.5 through two innings.

 

He's cooked, what a disastrous trade.

WORST TRADE EVER!!1!

Right up there with Seward's folly, eh?

[wavedog]

Woohoo!!   Celestino sure hit that one far!

[bighat]

Celestino, yard sale!

 

Sitting on the condo porch here on Sanibel Island watching the game, not quite as good as being there in person but I'll take it.

[operation mindcrime]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Diesel]

Cruuuuuuuuuuuuuuz

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I tell ya, once you let one player go yard, they all want to...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Has any pundit already made the joke about the Sox' role in the trade being Priceless?

[Doctor Gast]

Happy for Celestino! I`m rooting for you!

[wavedog]

 

Cruuuuuuuuuuuuuuz

Dang work getting in the way - I missed that one.    

[VATwinsFan]

So I guess other than an occasional hit, May will be striking out everyone else?

[MNT1996]

I'm on board with that plan

[bighat]

Hildy sighting.

Then, that Duffey character only struck out one!

 

Trade him for a bag of balls.

[USAFChief]

 

A WHIP of 1.5 through his entire Twins career.

ftfy.

Sorry I’m not able to post pictures of today’s game. Was all set to go, was even in the queue for parking, when a phone call came in requiring my presence elsewhere. Really sorry to have missed this one.

Are they juiced balls?

 

(i assume it is too soon to make a "pending medicals" joke)

Hope things worked out!

 

And hope the game thread makes up a wee bit for the missing of the game.

But yeah, it ain't the same...

[Blake]

Who is this Danny Coulombe guy and should we be aware of him?

Are you sure it wasn't the $10 parking signs that scared you away?

Twins bullpen mowing down the BoSox like farmers in the wheat fields of Kansas.

 

Or is like the corn fields in Illinois?

 

Or perhaps like the marijuana fields of Colorado?
