L6-3...That's gotta be on a Twingo card

This being 2021, Twingo cards are usually a bad sign..

[bighat]

Okay offense - no more strikeouts.

This team just can't expect to win striking out 15-18 times per game, and they didn't start well.

[Mill1634]

That's a homer/off the fence in 2019/2020

[stringer bell]

One of the few areas of improvement has been infield defense. With Donaldson, Simmons and Polanco (third to second) they should be improved. 

[Mill1634]

HIP HIP!!!!!!

[Mill1634]

Was it just me, or did it seem as if Jorge was crowding the plate in that AB more than we've seen in the past

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

[h2oface]

Lefty HOMER!

[stringer bell]

Jorge got ahold of one!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Not laying down and playing dead quite yet...

 

Nicely struck, Polanco!

The Kepler fly out — indeed 

[bighat]

I think it's safe to say that everyone worried about Polanco was wrong - he's been extremely effective the past few weeks. Plenty of other guys to worry about, Jorge is gonna be Jorge.

[h2oface]

the Love is an awfully dramatic like option. Hard to go to.

[stringer bell]

Larnach says thankyouverymuch.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

2nd chance!

 

Way to make it count.

[bighat]

White Sox coming unglued with some shaky defense!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Little plays like that pop foul that don’t show up on the fancy front office computer systems

[bighat]

Scoreboard watching: Detroit up 4-0 on KC, creeping up on the Twins for that 4th spot.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I mean, is there really a book on Larnach already that justifies playing the third baseman over by second? Lol

[bighat]

Twins damn well better get at least one more run here.

Not great baserunning by Larnach there - yet another example of the Twins faults costing them runs. You can't go a half inning without spotting something.

[stringer bell]

Big at-bat for the rook.

Do you think there will be a catchy name attached to the quest to pick first in the draft? Like s*ck for luck?

[LaBombo]

Hope the game is played at a brisk pace.  The suit that allows me to survive in the alien atmosphere of the new Twins Daily is only good for about two hours...

 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Too early for a pinch hitter? 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Go Ben!

Keep the momentum up!

Took one for the team!

[stringer bell]

Starting to look like a little role reversal.

[h2oface]

top of the order, bases loaded, one out.

time for the top to deliver.

[Aggies7]

Boy that would have been bad if the turtle didn’t hustle 

[bighat]

More awful baserunning by Simmons, there was no reason to take 3rd there. Donaldson on deck, too.
