MEATBALLS !!!!!!!!

[CRF]

Those 4 run homers REALLY hurt!

[stringer bell]

First home run by a right handed hitter (off a pitcher). Farmer vs. Garcia

This tiny payment thing...is a giant pain! OOPS...sorry, I got mesmerized by the U.S. Bank commercial again. I've only seen it a bazillion times. 

Don't feel alone. Radio commercials same ones for 10 years.

[h2oface]

Alvarez homer out by an inch.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Didn't take long to give up that 4 run lead.  AARGH!

[h2oface]

Correa's out at home and no run looms large right now.....

[RickOShea]

This pitch clock really speeds up the game.  alvarez's homer looked like a laser.

Stuff ankle rumors are built on.

It's a joy watching Miranda hit.

Is there any pastry discussion today?

 

I saw a picture of a wedding cake what was taller than it was wide earlier today...

I suppose an Easter cake is pastry … yes?

Both the big dollar long term stars seem afraid or unable to run and slide.

My therapist says I need to handle and manage my anxiety levels, better.  He suggested watching Twins baseball on a regular basis.

Exposure therapy is legit.

I don't think we've really acknowledged how differently this season will play out if Larnach stays healthy. He completely alters the look of the middle of the order.

Yeah, very happy about him so far this year

Yeah, and if Kirilloff can come back healthy.......having the three guys in the mid-twenties hitting behind Buxton and Correa..........well we can dream.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I've watched a lot of baseball this season already and this may be the first game I've watched that required a full hour to get through three innings.

Wallner should be at the game by first pitch. That is a nice advantage in having the Triple A 20 minutes away. 

Too bad he didn't play the first few innings at St Paul to give them an insurmountable lead in the AAA game, then Uber over to Target Field to hit a walk-off homer for the big club.  Double Duty Radcliffe would then have nothing on our guy Wallner.

I was thinking the same thing.  Homerun trots take time.
