Ho hum, another Cruz dinger against the tighty whities.

[MNT1996]

Give Cruz a 6 year extension

[Matthew Lenz]

0-2 count and bomba. Man, what a hitter.

[Don Walcott]

Well, that Boom Stick blast did get caught between the moon and Chicago.

Cruz- Missle- M.V.P.

If the Cruz played defense, he'd probably have a legit chance at an MVP, and Mike Trout exists...

Kenta looking like a greg Maddox clone today,  Sharp!

[blindeke]

I was in Japan before the pandemic and a Hiroshima Carp fan at a whiskey bar told me that Maeda was very good and the Twins were lucky to have him. I think he was right.

This game is slightly more enjoyable to watch than yesterday’s game.

Yeah, but only slightly

[bighat]

Dick just announced that Corey Kluber left the game in the 2nd inning during his Rangers debut. Yeeps.

[PDX Twin]

Good to hear Morneau give the umpire credit for having a good game. Not enough credit to good work by officials. Of course, robo-ump wouldn't have missed any ...

[LVTwinsfan]

Arraez is such a pro hitter.

He really is

DID CRUZ Win the team MVP  last year  ? 

[USAFChief]

LYNX WIN! LYNX WIN! THUUUUUHHHHH LYNX, WIN!

[LVTwinsfan]

Twins starters looking better each game, a trend I hope continues

[Matthew Lenz]

Another middle-middle fastball fouled off by Encarnacion

[LVTwinsfan]

Everybody hitting today

I think if we put Cruz out there on defense it would significantly DECREASE his value.

True, but that also followed a couple nasty whatever pitch Maeda threw that were like 86 and 85 moving.

Is it gready to want more runs?

Is it gready to want more runs?

I think the Twins should do whatever they can to dispel any notions that the White Sox are a good team

[bighat]

Luis Robert looks like what we hoped Buxton would be.

[cmoss84]

1) waiting for Christopher Cross to be in a Saline commercial.

 

2) it is typical for Maeda to go 4 or 5 sharp innings, then have the wheels fall off a bit. 94 and grunts...also normal. He will be very good for us.

[operation mindcrime]

Jake Cave needs to catch that ball.

[snotboogie]

 

[bighat]

Delmonico just wears out Twins pitching, this guy is frustrating.

[mrtwinsfan]

SEE YA NEXT START Good job Mr Maeda
