Bremer is the absolute worst at anticipating where the ball goes off the bat. “ Driven to the gap!” as Buxton trots a few steps to catch it..  smh

AKA a "bremergasm."

Giome Run!

[Mill1634]

GIO GONE!

[Squirrel]

TO ALL YOU DOUBTERS OF PUTTING GIO IN THE 4-SPOT ... WOOOHOOOO  

[LastOnePicked]

Way to keep the heat on Donaldson, Gio.

[stringer bell]

Who had Urshela hitting the first homer for the Twins? We can see why Rocco had him hitting cleanup.

[bighat]

Nice work Gio!

Good game so far for him on defense and now the HR....

Josh who?

Gonna guess that's it for Ryan.

I forget what his pitch count has been in his spring games - 70 might be kind of up there, or not.  But the heart of the lineup is due, and that's the logic that often prevails with managers these days.  So, yep.

He’s probably relaxed, lots of pressure playing in NY. In Minneapolis, not so much

Uh, doubters? The doubters were correct. If he was hitting 2nd that would have been a 3 run shot!

You must be watching the extra delayed broadcast

[stringer bell]

I hope Kirilloff doesn't start this season 0-20.

That, plus multitasking, plus I didn't see anyone else do it that way yet.

[RpR]

Detroit is now officially in first place.

[Mill1634]

I could bring that back out ... hmmm ... mind's a thinkin' now! 'What would creep out D. Hocking .... '

Probably getting on base.

Not a good placement for an 0-2 pitch.

Josh Donaldson just hit a walk-off for the Yankees.

And scoring the winning run was Twins legend IKF.  The Twins say "You're Welcome" to the Yankees.

[stringer bell]

Really excited to see Duran.

[stringer bell]

The kid might be a bit nervous.

[Aggies7]

duran duran...yikes
