That juiced ball in 2019 has caused a huge long-term problem for this Twins franchise.

Not really, though. A lot of that 2019 team is now gone. Half the lineup wasn’t wearing a Twins uniform in 2019. 

[bighat]

Only a matter of time before Devers, Martinez, Boegarts or Verdugo run into one here.

Lot's of respectable people been hit by a train.

Uh, I take your point. But it does put me in a damn awkward position.

Was it the one woolworths? Or all of 'em?

Stallone, Van Damme, and Schwarzenegger are discussing a new action movie, based on classical composers.

"I'll be Mozart," says Van Damme

"I'll be Beethoven," says Stallone.

"Nope. Not gonna say it," says Schwarzenegger.

God this offense is ba-rutal 

[USAFChief]

Garlick! You had ONE job!!

Miss the ball?

The 15 pitch at bat for correa has been his highlight so far.

Wouldn't it be nice if at least ONE Twins batter started out hot for the season???

Looks like were heading for back-to-back goose eggs here.

Just getting a ball out of the infield would be progress at this point

Gonna get 1-hit for the second time this season today. I honestly don't see how they're going to compete without Buxton in the lineup. And just wait until Archer, Bundy, & company come back to earth. Yikes.

[USAFChief]

Fun fact; in the offseason, Strahm plays lead guitar and sings backup for a Boston cover band. "More than a feeeeeeeeelinnnnggggg...."

 

 

 

...

 

 

thus the hair.

It’s more interesting to watch the Brewers offense than the Twins and the Brewers aren’t exactly known for their hitting prowess. 

[bighat]

Sano's gotta catch that.

[Squirrel]

ugh

[USAFChief]

Those soft liners hit right at you, chest high are tough.

[Aggies7]

Miguel makes a little league error, but his offensive production makes it easier to take

I’m entirely over watching Max Kepler play baseball. 

I’m about the same point with Sano… dude isn’t even an average fielding 1B.

"Klanked off the glove of Sano . . . "

I could also do without Sano. 

[Aggies7]

When do we start playing teams we can beat?

[bighat]

The end.

[mrtwinsfan]

How is that a hit , c,mon Sano

They’ll play the Orioles sooner or later.

Like I said on the Sano thread, he needs to go to AAA and, at a minimum, make himself hungry to play in the Big Leagues again.  He was so complacent on that little soft liner it is not even funny.  Killer error to lead off an inning in Fenway.

Miguel is always hungry, by the looks of it

[Steve71]

Brutal call on the slider from Ober.  Gotta get that call.  Cost them a run at a minimum. Correction, cost them 2 runs.

Sano cannot be sent to AAA without his consent. 6 years MLB service time.
