Be kind to your Twins reporters!

 

The reporters are just as fragile as the players

Twins

 

(Lineup to be inserted when available)

I think I like this starting lineup better than what the twins are actually putting out there. What the hell?!

[Mill1634]

Lil 4-5-3 double play right there...don't see that often

[Mill1634]

[MVP Nick Punto]

So, how much screaming have we done so far today?

[nicksaviking]

 

Who called Buxton not starting in either game?  They are the winner.  

 

That was me, and it feels like the opposite of a win.

[mrtwinsfan]

odds on Josh stealing= ??

[MNT1996]

Always nice to have a 1.000 hitter on the team

[wavedog]

On the plus side Donaldson made it to first base on the single without getting injured.  NIce to see his bat back in the lineup

Does silent screaming count? I've been doing that since Seager's HR on Sunday.

[TouchEmAllGuy]

And now batting cleanup... could be Buxton with runners on 1st and 3rd.... Kyle Garlick...

 

Edit:  Eating Crow

[Cap'n Piranha]

We're all set up to lose in extra innings (i.e., the 9th) again today!

[wavedog]

Good test of Donaldson's wheels right out of the gate

[Cap'n Piranha]

Here's a question--if this game goes to the 8th inning, does a runner start at second?

[Darius]

This is getting ugly.

 

It doesn’t make sense to me that Maeda would get a break on his ERA for a throwing error he made. He should be charged for those.

[Mill1634]

Byron Buxton who?

[Squirrel]

ooops ... 4:25, not 5:25 ...

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

The bad news is, except for Donaldson and Cruz, our lineup is terrible.

 

The good news is they are all under team control for several more years.

[Mill1634]

Berrios is locked in right now

[sampleSizeOfOne]

What i miss?

[Cap'n Piranha]

I guess this is our game to get a bunch of duck snorts.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Garver is on base!

[mrtwinsfan]

 

What i miss?

Not Buxton

Make way for duck snorts. Classic Boston literature...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

Not Buxton

On the contrary, i do miss Buxton.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

What i miss?

A run in the first!

 

[mrtwinsfan]

Was it Keith David or David Keith in major leauge , Josh Donaldson reminds me of him

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

A run in the first!

So Berrios is pitching with a lead?

 

I approve.

[USAFChief]

What a terrible AB from Garlic.

 

Awful.
