Too bad for farmer.

Literal years of bases loaded ineptitude. Someone should study it.

It wouldn't be that hard either.  It's chronicled pretty well in these very game threads!

Through darkness and light, Twins will fight..... and win.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Every few years we ask why these players aren’t wearing more equipment, both pitchers and batters. I guess it’s time for that conversation again.

I like the new theme song, even if it doesn’t really sing about watching baseballs soar, knocking out home runs, shouting hip hoorays

I haven't been paying close enough attention to this, but haven't players coming up from the minors over the last couple of years required to have the chin protector on their batting helmets?

[wsnydes]

Famer left the game with a "jaw injury" according to the radio crew.

I don't think it's required, but I'm seeing more and more players with them

You are required to have a ear protector in the bigs, but there is no rule on what side it has to be on.

35 K’s in 2.5 games lol

[Vanimal46]

Gordon batting cleanup is getting just a little old. 

[Robert Floren]

Come on Twins, is every pitcher you face an Ace?  Don't think so.  Two simple rules:  See the Ball, Hit the Ball.

Loving it! Our top 3 SP's have been stellar to start the year.

[mrtwinsfan]

Sonny 78 pitches ,  and gone 

[Nivaboy]

Not able to watch or listen to the game, just have the play by play pulled up at my desk. Is there a reason Gray left after 5? I see he only threw 78 pitches

[MNTSchmitt]

Alcala better not throw that change up up and in again if he wants to keep the ball in the park.

This time, I don't think its a bad decision.  He looked like he was starting to struggle a little.

Hmm…was starting to fall behind guys, but 1 more inning seemed reasonable.

That reason would be Rocco Baldelli
