GAME THREAD: Twins @ Royals, 4/19/22, 7:10pm CST

[PDX Twin]

This guy looks dangerous. Half of his pitches are head-high and in the batter's box.

uh oh ... the Guardians have had to postpone their game for a 2nd day in a row ... better get a roof on it in Cleveland

Best put two on, just in case.

Also very helpful, thank you!

Well, you can always follow along on gameday ... and ask us for details when it's unclear

[PDX Twin]

Having "Price Chopper" in the background of the broadcast does not seem encouraging to potential free-agent signees...

That's my usual routine unless I've got the radio on.  The joys of streaming services!

You must not be that close to the metro area to be black out

GameDay doesn't say anything about poop.  Can you elaborate?

Apple Valley, so southern suburbs.  I can't get the CW either.

The sound is behind the picture. Disturbing. 

I'll blame it on the WB.

Well ... Apple Valley ... I question some outer ring suburbs as being part of the metro area ...

There's still another ring south of me.  I'm not that far out.

It's pretty windy there ... the comment was the wind blew it back in

[PDX Twin]

Poor tag by Polanco.

[Mill1634]

Please work on tagging guys out. My god

[Sean.h]

blacked out in Dallas TX too WTH

[Aggies7]

Opposing baserunners have been like Houdini lately

[twins_89]

If someone had said before the season that the Twins would have the 5th best starter ERA in baseball and the 7th worst team OPS, I'm not sure I'd have believed either stat. Hopefully the team can maintain the pitching while getting the hitting back to a more expected level.

[stringer bell]

Salvi with a half swing on strike one.

You may have our hockey team, but I'm pretty sure that's not in the twin cities metro!

[PDX Twin]

Archer not hitting the bull's eye so far.

[PDX Twin]

The pitch count seems totally off on the TV screen.

[stringer bell]

I don't feel bad about walking Perez with a base open. However Benintendi tortured the Twins last year.

[bighat]

Ugly start so far for Archer.....

[stringer bell]

I want to see Wes come out and talk to Ober. He'd need a stepladder.

I'm just trying to figure out how to listen to it--I'm listening through the MLB app, but getting the T-Wolves playoff game instead.  Guess I'll have to switch to the KC feed.

I’m streaming 830 WCCO on iTunes

Was archer always wound this tight? My goodness

Where is Javier Baez these days?  They don't play them any time soon do they?  That could get ugly.

Yeah, who knew. Frankly I like to see some emotion from guys when they get out of an inning like that...
