GAME THREAD: Twins @ Red Sox, 4/18/22, 10:10 AM CT

uffda.  Garlic in the 4 spot. He there to repel any vampires?

[PopRiveter]

I saw yesterday's lineup and thought "Kepler in the cleanup spot? Do they think cleanup means erase the baserunners with a DP ball? This is telling."

Today, I see Garlick and think, "This too is telling."

TBH 1 thru 9 is Yeesh.

A lineup of replacement players (and couple who are playing like it).

[big dog]

I was just about to post a snarky comment about Garlick hitting fourth as a complete synopsis of the first week of the season. Then Garlick hits the wall. Snark withdrawn.

Go Twins!

[PatPfund]

I take back a few words about what I said about Garlick; 2-0 Twins

[Mill1634]

If the red line equals out of play, then it is a homer.

I am so glad they added Garlick to the roster

Yeah, I had an old neighbor who ran the Fargo Marathon. She said by the time she finished they were already closing things up. ?

Was she young when she started?

[PopRiveter]

Bat Garlick 4th. All the offensive woes evaporate. Who knew?

So was this a former neighbor or a neighbor who is elderly? I love the English language.

In Chicago it’s officially over at 3, but they don’t get to my neighborhood to open up the streets until around 3:30-4 … you see a few stragglers on the sidewalks at that point

It's exhausting to even think about running for that long...

[LVTwinsfan]

And the roller coaster ride of emotions continues

You mean lying on the sidewalks?

Maybe she thought it was a group of Bison fans going to kiss Carson Wentz's ass

[wsnydes]

Bundy pounding the zone early.

The Fargo Marathon course is open for a full 7 hours (16min/mile pace). That might be due to city size difference between Fargo and Chicago. ?

[stringer bell]

I think Bogaerts was below the Mendoza line when this series started. He's now over.300. I'd like to see some Twins follow the same path in the next couple of series.

[big dog]

8 pitches to get out of the first. I wish Bundy would settle down and get more efficient.

I guess it's what you define as "old"

[2wins87]

Fastest pitch in the first inning: 88.7 MPH from Bundy

Faster than Hill’s fastball

[LVTwinsfan]

Sano needs to drill one of those fastballs

INDEED! We are overdue for some hot streaks. 

[wsnydes]

It's amazing that more people don't get drilled in the dugout.
