[RickOShea]

Holy tits,,,,,,,,,,,,2nd deck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[USAFChief]

Keller's going to shut down the Twins, isn't he?

this aged well.

[Brock Beauchamp]

This team is starting to look a lot more like the 2019-2020 Twins.

[MMMordabito]

Holy tits,,,,,,,,,,,,2nd deck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unholy, as well!

[MNT1996]

Now these are the Royals I'm used to

[Nine of twelve]

Another well-struck ball by Kep. Good sign.

[Brock Beauchamp]

News flash: the 16-9 Royals are a mirage.

Did i say innings? Ithink i meant runs... yeah, that's what i mean.

[RickOShea]

Sorry for the 'holy tits' comment, but it is Sunday.

Either way, i'm thirsty.

Excellent use of the reverse jinx.

[LaBombo]

Took the family to see an 11-3 drubbing of the Twins that's now bookended by a 9-1 win and a 7-0 third inning lead...

 

[FlauerPauer]

Cave's days are possibly numbered. Minor league season starting. Lanarch is going to push the issue.

[jkcarew]

It’s unusual to see the home team score 7 in the 3rd.

 

We usually miss the extra point.

[Danchat]

Great inning, though the 3 errors from the Royals helped. 

 

Winning 3 of our last 4 is a nice way to get on track. Weird series, as all 3 games appear to be blowouts, with 2 in our favor.

Sometimes you just gotta take one for the team.

Sorry about that.

Cave’s days have always been numbered because he’s a role player with limited upside.

 

The question has always been whether he’s serviceable in a platoon.

[MNT1996]

Hopefully in the next few months we'll see a lineup of:

 

Arraez

Donaldson

Buxton

Cruz 

Kirilloff

2019 Garver

Polanco

Larnach 

Simmons

I am wandering off...

 

Take good care of the game for me!

Yes. It's time to get the young-uns involved. Cave has been a satisfactory fourth outfielder but with Larnach and Rooker knocking at the door, with Kiriloff looking like he's here to stay, and with Arraez to fill in if need be Cave is superfluous. Let's see if we can get a Class A prospect for him.

[FlauerPauer]

Slick play!

[Brock Beauchamp]

That was so close to amazing.

[LaBombo]

Simmons is the Twins' RPO QB if MLB goes to a touch football replacement for extra innings.

[FlauerPauer]

He just isn't that good. I have no problem with him as a 5th outfielder, but man he can't really hit, isn't very fast, plays adequate defense... Just gotta have a better option. Maybe they can trade him for a B- prospect.

[Mill1634]

Not the inning you want after a 7 run inning

[FlauerPauer]

Rats. Berrios is just not a shut down guy.
