Tigers just swept Cleveland. It isn't too early for scoreboard-watching, is it?

Jake Cave just stole his 3rd base, Career High

Jake is exactly the kind of guy who can benefit--good, not great, speed. Those few inches with the bigger bags should change him from say a 60% success rate to >80%.

Is a Gray-Sale matchup kind of like a dirty white sale?

And the winner is ---- Hopefully Gray

Didn't Falvay say in an interview that the plan is to DH Buck until Mid-May and evaluate from there?  Might be easier for everyone if we could just lay off the "why isn't Buck playing CF" comments in every thread and just roll along until say....Mid-May.

Before the NYY series he was hitting .302/.333/.512.  He had an awful 4 games at the plate, but not many guys are hitting right now.

Time of game in Game 2: 1:50. I had to check to make sure it wasn't a seven-inning game.

[bighat]

Picking up where they left off, I see. 

[bighat]

Holy crap Buxton has struck out 9 times in a row? 

[PDX Twin]

Are there statistics on how many throws to first teams draw? The Twins must draw fewer than any other team.

[stringer bell]

Good swing C-4

10 and counting

[stringer bell]

Perfect 10 for Buxton.

[Nine of twelve]

Sox fans booing Correa when their manager was one of the masterminds of the scandal they are thinking about.

🙄🙄🙄

10  now , Hard to do 

[stringer bell]

The Twins 26% strikeout rate goes even higher.

[USAFChief]

Good lord this offense

 

[bighat]

Chris Sale strikes out the side. 

Unreal. Can it get any worse? 

 

[Aggies7]

The strikeouts are just embarrassing at this point 

[mrtwinsfan]

Well that was impressive,  1st inning
