next, a short-sleeved hoodie for people with warm arms and cold heads

Last, a Hooded Dress for a very stylish lady with a cold head

lineups TBA
Go Twins!

[SanoMustGo]

Lovely gear.  This should be another nail in the Twins coffin today with the pitching "matchup", if you want to call it that.

Is there a Twins game today? I thought the season was already over. Did KC catch us? Are we in 4th place?

Does Josh ever drop down his arm slot, so that he can be known as "Side" Winder?

Do I want to buy Guardian’s gear?   Hell No!  Please take them off the ads!

A major goal of the Twins going forward should include making superior infield and outfield defense a main objective. Good pitching is useless if defenders cannot turn batted balls into outs. 

I'm not calling out Garlick specifically right now because the roster is limited, but that should be a routine out.

[Craig Arko]

Winder makes it through the first. This is a considerable improvement. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Left field  does require the ability of being Athletic,  Gotta ask wouldnt we be a better team with Gordon there and Arreaz at 2nd, And if you think you need Garlick against Bieber , Please Rocco explain how Garlick in l.f. against Bieber ???????????, And Kepler ??  out again

Who says the Twins have good pitching

Well, as the first baseman on the team, I guess he knows.

Yeah. If they'd just stop hitting balls to the outfield fans instead of to our fielders...

[h2oface]

Wrong direction, Jake. Pull that ball and it's a homer.

Now, play nice. After all, it is a goal. Let it be theoretical at the very least.

 

[SanoMustGo]

Off to another blazing start I see.  Don't bother bringing back the injured players unless they are 100%.  I wouldn't be surprised if the Twins struggle against the Royals.  The team I am watching is a 95 loss quality team.

[PDX Twin]

I thought Bieber was famous for hits. We're struggling to get any. 

Oops, wrong Bieber.

[h2oface]

Wow. 3 four seams at 91-92 that had little or no movement in the same spot middle middle. Leon watches one, and swings at two and not even close. If our pitchers throw it there, it is called a mistake and hit out of the park (Kwan). To Leon it is just a swinging strike and strikeout. Even with 3 in the same spot.

I wasn’t trying to be rude.

Correa is good at hitting the ball with the knob of the bat. Did it just the other day. 

[LVTwinsfan]

Arraez is currently 1 point behind in the batting race, even though I’m told he doesn’t have a snowballs chance in hell to win a batting title

Didn't think you were - it's all good.

I wondered if that ball doesn't make contact with a part of the batting glove. Does that count as a foul ball like one off of the leg or is the hand/glove considered in a different manner?

This is still a winnable game but it looks like the offense has taken the day off.

Not the Ninth inning yet, and Bieber has that effect on teams

It's probably the players' union. Not allowing them to hit more than 4-5 days a week.

[SanoMustGo]

The offense usually takes the day off against good pitching.

Funny how that works
