GAME THREAD: Dodgers @ Twins, 4/13/22, 12:10 CT

D-Rod, 2 innings, no runs.

[Brock Beauchamp]

It's pretty funny that when the dust settles on this game, the pitching will not have been the biggest problem.

[Craig Arko]

Kershaw certainly looking like HoF material.

If I were the schedule Queen, I would have had the Twins in LA for this series and the Dodgers here in August. Maybe we could have started the season on the west coast in Seattle, then SoCal.

You've got my vote.  Unless it's an actual monarchy sort of thing, then... fealty, I guess?

[MMMordabito]

Looks like Kershaw might pitch a perfect game.

[LVTwinsfan]

The website scoreboard says it’s a  perfect game…. so what is everybody complaining about ?

Proof that  a Twins reliever can pitch more than one inning

[Irishman]

Twins are joke.  Baldelli is joke.   
 

This season is going to be a long, long, long for Twins.   

[AceWrigley]

D-Rod, 3 innings, no runs.

[Mill1634]

D-Rod has done his job and is likely going to be repaid for it with a DFA tonight/tomorrow.

Strong 2021 vibes here

No, in 2021 Buxton would have broken up the perfect game but pulled his hammy rounding 1st.

[AceWrigley]

Sure is a good thing its early in the season and cold and Kershaw doesn't have his best stuff . . . cough.

Be careful. Don't be mean. ?

[Mill1634]

Twins are going to have to start a promotion to PAY me to show up to these weekday games.

[MMMordabito]

Bunt, Buck!  We need an unwritten rules nuclear twitter thread.

[stringer bell]

I’m afraid I’m witnessing history. 

[Aggies7]

Guys, I don’t think Clayton is coming out of this game

I think that's wrong. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Yep, definitely one of those days.

[Vanimal46]

That’s a sign a perfect game is possible if Urshela’s drilled ball up the middle is fielded for an out.

Well that would be a complete joke, but fits well into modern baseball

Only if he was a Twins pitcher would he be pulled

Not to mention some on-field jawing that turns into a bench-clearing donnybrook.

Be sure to stretch before punching and head-locking, bench guys!

Trienen is warming up. Doubt they are going to dry hump their best reliever. But maybe. 

[Azviking101]

I literally just purchased flights last week to go to Minnesota to see family and a couple twins games. Might drop to one twins game or less at this point. 

[Vanimal46]

Bring him out for the 8th you cowards!

[Mill1634]

Yeah, Kershaw appears to be done. Handshakes and hugs in the dugout.

He's pretty clearly done for the day. High fives all around in the dugout and your best reliever warm in the pen generally means the end of your day.
