Game Thread Twins @ Oakland 4/21/2021 2:37 PM CDT

Friday can’t come soon enough when Kirilloff’s offense and defense magically improves enough to get the call up.

[Aggies7]

I simply can’t imagine a worse bottom 3 of any lineup than cave rooker and Jeffers. Putrid 

[cHawk]

Can we please put up a zero here, bullpen?

I can. The Tigers probably have one.

[cHawk]

Oh boy, here comes Dobnak.

[MNT1996]

Well hopefully zero by itself and not with a 1 in front of it. 

[twins1095]

 

Oh boy, here comes Dobnak.

 

Dobnak's had some pretty putrid BABIP luck. I wouldn't be too worried, it will even out.

[RickOShea]

Dobnak got the first out. Ok, he's shot his wad.

[Aggies7]

 

I can. The Tigers probably have one.

Baddoo usually hits in the bottom third. I’d take him over cave every day of the week and twice on Sunday’s

Then try the Pirates.

[stringer bell]

Dobnak with an opportunity to keep from getting farmed out. I know he's a starter in waiting, but with Maeda's short start, he should be able to go multiple innings 

[singlesoverwalks]

Top of the order coming up - here comes the fun!

[cHawk]

Excuse me, ump? What kind of a strike call is that?

[Danchat]

I still don’t get how he looks light years ahead of our other prospects despite having zero experience against MLB pitching... Rooker hit well in college, AA, AAA, and comes up at 26 and looks like train wreck. And yet Baddoo’s plate discipline looks decent.

[Aggies7]

Arraez is a gosh darn stud

[singlesoverwalks]

I love having PeteRoseRodCarewTonyGwynn leading off for us.

[Aggies7]

Great baserunning, never thought he’d get to third 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

I believe that Donaldson brought his sacred banging stick. And it came through!

 

Obscure reference by way of a trick question:

 

 

Oh and sorry i am slow to respond. I got a bit of a nap...

 

(and last 10 seconds of the clip... setting t=115 doesn't seem to work for posts)

[Mike Sixel]

 

Willians pop-up...drink

 

There isn't enough alcohol in the world for this game.....

[Aggies7]

Really ok with having romo on another team 

[cHawk]

Polo!

[RickOShea]

Is Buxton teasing us, or is he swinging and covering the plate a lot better?

[cHawk]

 

Really ok with having romo on another team 

Same here,

[Vanimal46]

Really ok with having romo on another team

The Experience is so much better on the other side!

[Aggies7]

We’ll take every one of these runs

[singlesoverwalks]

This inning has been thing of beauty. Jorge Polanco's opposite field RBI single, stolen base, and scoring from second on a single to left are [chef's kiss].

[RickOShea]

With Melvin bringing Romo in, Melvin is the Twins 'player of the game', so far.

[cHawk]

Or the top five in their order.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Getting big thunder strom and lots of rain right now in my corner of the world. So bringer of rain is apropo...

 

And i got like 8 pages of game thread to catch up on. Y'all are doin' good in my absence.

[Vanimal46]

It’s gotta be the end of the road this year for Romo. He’s washed up.
