Cole Sand will make an appearance methinks. 

Let’s break it open and give him the 3-inning save.

With two flowers!

More runs world be nice. But I'm also sort of just crossing my fingers and going for the game to finish as soon as possible... I've seen this.

Like 5-10 more runs without giving up any and I'll be comfortable.  But not really

I agree a three Grand Slam advantage would be nice.

27 outs or 27 runs, whichever comes first

I’m listening to the Yankees radio call, which is quite good by the way, and they’ve reached the filling time stage already. 

Sterling-if this was a WBC game we could wrap it up early 🤣

Also “Julien pops one up to right field”. They know it’s a bandbox too. 

[CRF]

I'm gonna try not to get too excited about this...there's a lot of game to go yet, and there are three more after this one.

[ashbury]

Julien flashing the leather now!

[rwilfong86]

I just hope no injuries.

[mrtwinsfan]

best part---  Shutting up the Fans,  ---  so far

And now a third flower. 

[IndianaTwin]

Just for kicks, let’s get another nine here. 

[ashbury]

TAYLOR!!!! ^2

[mrtwinsfan]

Just now, ashbury said:

Come on Taylor - turn Buxton into Wally Pipp!

Funny!!!!!!!!!!

[IndianaTwin]

I like having Buxton DH. Gotta keep Taylor’s bat in the lineup… 

[Doctor Gast]

Julien leading off is a great way to lead off the series. Finally a lead off hitter.

[ashbury]

Keep it going!

[jmlease1]

This is the kind of game I kinda wish I had the opposing team's broadcast. Are they just going to crap on the Yankees, or praise the Twins? How do they fill a game that their fan base may have already turned off?

2 dingers for Taylor tonight. Goodness me.

[jimbo92107]

To quote, "Who are these guys?"

That's kind of a lot of runs in a few innings.

[Winston Smith]

Covid hasn't improved Dicks depth perception.

[IndianaTwin]

Julien — eighth player since 1974 to have his first two hits be in the same inning. 

[Squirrel]

Okay, I’m breaking out the hotdogs for supper tonight. Followed by frosting flowers on lamb cake 

[ashbury]

How many innings in a row can Julien bat?

/ edit - oops my bad - twice in the first, not in the second

[ashbury]

It's a work day and my son living in Manhattan opted to not attend today's game.  I need to talk to that lad.

They start discussing the best time of year to stage the World Baseball Classic.
