Pineda is getting whacked like a pinata

[MVP Nick Punto]

Kikuchi is at 40 pitches through 2. How are the Seattle relievers this season?

Apparently a couple of his pitches were as tasty as an empanada.

 

[MVP Nick Punto]

I was juuuuuuuust thinking Kikuchi was getting hit pretty hard so far, despite no runs. Wish I'd said so a minute ago, so I could look prescient.

[USAFChief]

Cruz missile!!

[MVP Nick Punto]

Hi-larious.

 

Edit: Why even make that throw to first?

[Squirrel]

well, darn it ... was putting laundry in the machine and missed the homerun

Per Corey Provus, Kyle is not the first "Garlick" to play for the Twins. Twins historian Clyde Doepner has noted that "Knoblauch" is German for the spice.

Crazy to think that this lineup is going to get even deeper as soon as Donaldson comes back

That's okay, it's not your job. Cruz didn't miss it, and he's the one getting paid

[IndianaTwin]

 

It's elementary, my dear Watson.

 

By the way, Chief, do you remember how they celebrated the 10,000th MLB run? Weren't you at that game?

Next time Cruz is up, I think you should go out to check whether you put the flag up.

I can do it for every batter in the lineup if it works.

All right, I'm calling a "hip, hip, Jorge!" next time up.

Uses him for what?

And sometimes when he doesn't, too

Anybody else noticing the Commercial in Progress box popping up multiple times per inning? I'm talking right in the middle, not between.

 

Come on, MLB!
