Haiku offers no comfort

Lost Byron, won game.

 

Wrapping head around

I’ll be attending my first Twins game in nearly two years today.

Best of luck, may you see better fortunes than I have the past few years (I'm like 2-6 in games since 2019).

Thanks! Beautiful afternoon at a beautiful ballpark. If the Twins win, it will be a bonus. I believe the last game I attended went like 15 innings against the Rays. It should be better than that. 

[Jerr]

Going for 6 wins in a row today, hard to believe.

Sano came up as a thirdbaseman Dick

Jeffers is a trooper. Catching for 5+ hours last night and back at it for the day game.

I think that baseball resembles work more than any other sport 

[stringer bell]

My view. Did it come through sideways?

[LVTwinsfan]

So if a 7 inning game goes into extras is there a runner on 2nd to start the 8th?

Yes, sit up straight

[LVTwinsfan]

That one was Ober the fence

[LVTwinsfan]

Or, it was Bailey Ober the fence

I’m surprisingly blacked out of this series on MLB.TV, living in Nashville! 

I was still able to watch on my big screen TV on Bally South last night but even though it’s listed as being on the cable today, it isn’t. SO, I’m listening to Corey Provus and Dan Gladden.

Where's Gordon? Did he get sent down?

It did but it’s a pretty sharp picture!

[Tibs]

Maybe we should try this Miguel Sano guy at 3rd base more often

[Greglw3]

I feel like the lineup is missing Arraez and or Gordon even though they are LH.

Not starting against a lefty. Makes sense. 

[MMMordabito]

Eugenio .. Suarez gettin' this guy out, you need to throw it high and inside.

[Cap'n Piranha]

I like Polanco at 2B.

[Irishman]

I am still upset about HBP on Buxton.    Several years ago the HBP on Buxton in the helmet was thrown by a Reds pitcher.   I think the pitcher and manager should be ejected for 2 HBPs in a game.   

[stringer bell]

There I got it right-side-up!

Ok but what has that to do with Buxton getting hit by a Reds pitcher several years ago

[stringer bell]

Jeffers!
