Game Thread TWINS vs ROYALS 7:10pm edt 4/30/2021

[Nine of twelve]

 

9 pitch first AB walk is more impressive than a first AB homer

That could be true, but if it were me I'd rather have had the dinger.

Singer has no idea where the plate is

Singer has no idea where the plate is

He got rattled throwing 9 pitches to the rook!

[Vanimal46]

You can’t draw up a double play like that. Sigh...

[MNT1996]

Classic 2021 Twins baseball

[twinssporto]

I didn't know I was watching a foot ball game.

[Mill1634]

How in the heck did that just happen

[Nine of twelve]

You can have watched thousands of baseball games and in the game you are currently watching still see something you have never seen before.

[USAFChief]

Talk about bad breaks.

[Vanimal46]

How in the heck did that just happen

That’s a 1 out of 100 outcome.

[MNT1996]

Here's a speedster at the plate. Let's shift him so there's no one covering the bunt. 

[cHawk]

Ayy

[h2oface]

That should happen everytime on the shift.

[cHawk]

 

That should happen everytime on the shift.

 

Therefore; DON'T shift

There’s rarely a game that Big Mike starts where he’s not cruising. He’s been a really solid addition over the years.

[MMMordabito]

It hurt me to watch Pineda participate in that rundown.

Talk about bad breaks.

I think it may just be a bad bruise, but yeah. Contusion, excuse me.

[cHawk]

They're going to their pen.

He doesn't run like any position player in football ... basketball ... or even maybe croquet.

Who cares...we got the out.

Me too. I think I actually pulled a hammy watching it sitting on the couch.

It looks like he's shaken off what was ailing him in his last start. He's been worth his $$$ when he's not been suspended.

[ScrapTheNickname]

There is no regulation regarding oven mitt size, as far as I've been able to find out. Anybody else know?

[cHawk]

We know Kirilloff will hit a rocket, will it fall is the question...

[Nine of twelve]

There. He can hit.

[cHawk]

Attaboy!

[Vanimal46]

Yes!! Congrats Kirilloff! Many more to come.

[Mill1634]

HE WAS DUE!!!! AK!!!!!

[MNT1996]

He better be here to stay

[cHawk]

Well crumb
