[Diesel]

Oh my

What's Ryan Jeffers doing?

He is on the 60 man pool, but likely behind Astudillo and Telis on the depth chart.

[FlauerPauer]

Stashak instead of May?

[Don Walcott]

Wow. . . just wow.

[LVTwinsfan]

Rosario never saw a pitch he didn’t like

This man is going to be hitting homers well into his 50s. 

 

[FlauerPauer]

May needs a solid inning here.

[Mill1634]

Soler trying to act like he has any clue where the strike zone is after this series is comical...You've put two balls in play. Go back to the dugout.

[Mill1634]

Dick realizes that Littell isn't eligible for the save here, right?

[LVTwinsfan]

It’s not a save opportunity Dick, learn the game

[LVTwinsfan]

Dick realizes that Littell isn't eligible for the save here, right?

not sure

[Mill1634]

uhhhh...at least Dozier is on my fantasy team?

[LVTwinsfan]

Somebody corrected Bremer

[LVTwinsfan]

Somebody might have to come in and save it though

[LVTwinsfan]

They should change the rule that a starter has to pitch 5 innings for a win.

[FlauerPauer]

Zack got lit up in the Yankees series and hasn't been the same since.

[FlauerPauer]

Winnah winnah had chicken for dinnah!

[Mill1634]

Twins win!!!

 

The bullpen was good tonight, minus the 9th inning, and Cruz continues his very hot start in 2020. Sano drove the ball the other way which was good to see, and Rosario's solid defense continues. Polanco looks like an All-Star on both sides of the ball, and Eddie is striking out much less. Good to take three from these guys after last weekend.

 

Oh, and signature is updated!

 

Until tomorrow,

 

Go Twins!!!

[Danchat]

OK... going 3-1 against the Royals is pretty good. Every game against them has to be close, once again. Now we have to take on the Brewers again, who are fresh off sweeping the Cubs (had the best record for a bit).

Lol....Royals announcers are crying like little babies about the fact we didn't throw them hardly any fastballs. WHAAAA WHAAAA How do you get to the majors if you cant hit off speed pitches? Sorry man, that's how you lose 100 games year after year. Why does everybody say they are in a rebuild? Look at their roster! Merrifield, Gordon, Mondesi, Franco, Perez, Soler, Lopez, Kennedy, Duffy...am I missing something or are they a bunch of old guys that aren't really any good? They should trade Merrifield now before the losing seeps through his skin and remains forever. At what point do they stop making excuses and admit they just s--k

[Channing1964]

Another Glorious Victory!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I waa awake at the end, i turned it off and wwnt to sleep for real.

 

Glad we won.
