[Mortimerkenny21]

Thank goodness we got out of that inning! Can the bats wake up please!!

[Irishman]

Please get us runs!

[mnfireman]

That hanging curve he threw Hernandez almost added fuel to the fire....

[mrtwinsfan]

Max needs a Break , Cmon Maxy

[Aggies7]

Enter sandsman

[Doctor Gast]

This line up has been pretty dead! Is Gausman that good? Come on Twins lets wake up!

[CRF]

Can we somehow quickly clone Miranda? We need a few more of him.

HOT TAKE: Miranda will be an all-star game starter one day.

He certainly looks legit. 

[PDX Twin]

Coal Sands seem to be toxic to Blue Jays so far.

[CRF]

Sands is keeping us in the game. Somehow, we need to scratch across a couple runs. 

[LVTwinsfan]

He went

[mnfireman]

After the SSS of good results, the real Jake Cave has arrived.

I just popped in to see how many "we're doomed cuz Archer is pitching!" followed by "Pagan will give up 5 runs now, guaranteed!" followed by "well there goes any chance of staying in this game now that Sands is in!" comments there were. Basically 4 full pages. Not bad, not bad.

[mrtwinsfan]

2 out and Speed on 1st, go twins

[wabene]

Bass is a fish

Quit drawing attention to the negative, mister negative.

Guy i know brought 6 kids ages 8-12 to the game today , 4 of them have Buxton and Correa  gear on, sent me a piicture in the stands, Saying all the Kids are Bummed with no Buck and CC4,  IT  IS SAD, !!

[wabene]

Well finally caught up tothe broadcast thanks to my fast forward finger and the pitching has exceeded expectations, but the hitting not so much. Sands looks like he's settled down from his first appearances.

That really sucks! I hope he's got $1000 to spend on food and souvenirs for them...because he'll probably need to.

I remember my family driving 3 hours plus to see Harmon, Tony, Rod, and Earl….they never disappointed..

[wabene]

Nice job Sands! Let go bats! 

[mrtwinsfan]

Be nice if the rest of the team could be competitive,,  Kids just wanna have a good time

[CRF]

Audra just said that the news about Pagan, is it was just a cramp. Kind of like the one I get on the remote when Pagan comes into the game. 

[Doctor Gast]

Finally a lead off hit

Mauer had a lot of Sundays off.  I always thought, that the Twins being thought of as a 'regional team", it was unfair to those people who traveled on the weekends not to be ablr to see him play.  A lot of rural people, with limited funds, were very disappointed.

Double play threat is gone.

Maybe he and Arraez could teach Buxton and Correa how to hit?
