New pitcher has sub 2 era.

Dear FO, THAT is what you call a good RP...please take note

[Mill1634]

welp

[wsnydes]

Two "official scorer ruling pending" in one game?!?!

I can't handle this!!!

[big dog]

Oh for Pete’s freaking sake. This is ridiculous.

[Mill1634]

Kepler grounds into the shift/right side of the infield literally every time he comes up in a big spot.

That ends tonight!!!

In the ninth. I forgot to add that part. 

[Doctor Gast]

Oh, bother

[RpR]

Presuming the Rockies do not score, the batters up for Twins next inning -- my, my, my.

[SanoMustGo]

Is this the final year of Kepler's contract?

Wouldnt be sporting to shoot for that wide open left side

[Mill1634]

he's out. Dick is right. AK hit the base on his way down.

[RpR]

Good for Kirilloff and most fortunate Arraez did not throw it away.

8.5 m next year, 10m option for ‘24, 1m buy out.

[Mill1634]

both Tyler's were good tonight. It's a damn shame we couldn't trust either with a 3 run lead and instead went to another RP for a 2nd inning the other night who we know isn't any good either.

Odds b4 game of Bundy -Duff and only 1 run,-  our at bats are PATHETIC

[BH67]

If the Twins lose 1-0, mark this game as the archetype for why they failed to make the playoffs.  Bold prediction for a game this early in the season, but warranted. 

[RpR]

Twins lose one to zero, Baldelli's shift lost the game.

[stringer bell]

Bottom of the ninth.  Time of game 2:11. 

[RpR]

Time for Kirilloff to have a good memory hitting after his great move at first. .

They’re tied for first in the division and on pace for 90 wins.

 

go Twins!

What's the old saying...not how you start, but how you finish.  They have accomplished nothing yet.

Last year it seemed that nothing worked at the same time until we were completely out of it ... I hope we can manage to get it together before that happens

[RpR]

Come on make them eat their shift.

We’ve seen them lose the whole season in April. How you start matters too

Well, they are trying hard to lose it in June

Mighty important "f" in this post!

[RpR]

He is trying to put it in left.

[Mill1634]

The Twins will lose this game on a flyout to the LF warning track.

 

Write it down in pen

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Cmon Jose!

[Steve71]

Twins have SCALDED about a half dozen balls right at defenders.  Literally, with the shift banned next year, they could have 4 or 5 runs.  Massively snake bit tonight.
