Apparent leg injury running out a ground ball. No further word from the broadcasters.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

WOW - the score is what to nuthin’? 😀

good early season plan: get as far away from .500 as possible 

[ashbury]

The Twins open at home versus the Astros.  How come they can't do like most college football teams who schedule a cupcake opponent for Homecoming?

[SanoMustGo]

This has the potential to be a really good team.  Don't forget, Lewis, Kiriloff, and Polanco waiting to contribute as well.  Lot's of depth.

They did that last September.  I like this way, better.

[RickOShea]

Hopefully, the lead led to Kepler'a quick exit.  I hope we don't follow previous years' habit of pulling a guy, for the smallest of reasons.  Is he hurt or injured?  Baldelli and the organization tends to baby these guys, IMO.

Yup, I remember when Killebrew hit one 500 some feet.  

Fun fact: he hit that one inside the Mall Of America.

Harmon, the Mauler of America.

[RickOShea]

Right knee soreness.

 

[RickOShea]

Soreness, already?  How about calling it a right knee, boo-boo. Or owwwwie?

Thought that ball would get cut off and they'd hold Soler to a single, but in my brief absence they put Gordon out there, and, oh well.

They talked about this being a larger outfield and Soler knowing that and taking advantage. Or something like that

Just avoid the ones that move.

They shouldn't have put a window there.

Easy enough. Standard dinner time protocol around our house.

They studiously do not talk about weak arms among Twins players.

You're just under cooking them.  Just bake another couple of minutes.

Just now, Cornholio said:

We’re Twins fans. We know the deal. It’s from the department of redundancy department, 2023 version. He will probably be in a full body cast by the weekend.

Or he'll be back in the lineup tomorrow, batting everyone's favorite leadoff.

[ashbury]

Mahle gets a gift.  Morneau: "Very close."

[rwilfong86]

Glad to see Arraez get a hit

[snotboogie]

Just tuned in. Lost track of time watching Brockmire for the 3rd time.  I see Arraez dropped down to .500

 

Nevermind. 

[wsnydes]

Mahle done ya think?

[Halsey Hall]

Life with the bats!  I like the way this is playing out.
