Game Thread: Twins v Yankees, 4/24 @ 6:40 CT

[OvertheHill]

Yeah tough play but you gotta make that in the Majors. 

[h2oface]

Might not be such a good idea to idolize Correa so much, to the point of having him help with your off season prep. Seems neither Miranda or Correa are ready for the season. Worst OPS's in the Twins lineup, tonight. Correa now with the worst average, too.

After all these years, it would seem that Correa would be/could be ready to start the season at least league average.

I haven’t seen one good looking swing from Miranda so far this year. I think he should be working on that in St. Paul. 

He doesnt even know the K Zone.  Start there.

Qualifying offer coming in clutch. He's never been a free agent before, it would take a big check to keep him from it.

Get your head around, plenty of time to get position.

[Aggies7]

There’s not one player on the twins who gets as much vitriol as Hicks does from Yankees fans 

[mrtwinsfan]

Miranda     your Fan club is Shrinking

[Aggies7]

Jax makes my tummy hurt 

[wabene]

Hicks easy out. Jax has given up some cheap hits lately

[h2oface]

Baldelli just keeps going to Jax. Making the excuses of bad luck. Hmmmmmmmm

Idk about that. Correa is taking a pretty good beating here tonight alone

[Aggies7]

Are we really going to do this now?

Hicks gets booed just coming out of the dugout. He makes 10,500,000 a year and the other guy 32,000,000

[Nine of twelve]

Whew!

[Aggies7]

And breathe 

[h2oface]

Now that is how you spell ....... relief.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Whew!!

[SteveLV]

Huge pitching execution vs. the tough Rizzo.  Great job Jax!

[wabene]

Cleanin **** up

[jkcarew]

Count me as not sold on Jax sweeper.

At all.

[twinssporto]

Nice recovery Jax. I had to take 3 Pepcid AC's to get through his performance though.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Jax!!!

[Parfigliano]

Tony.  Good man.  Works for a girl or a boy.

Looked like it, at least until the 3rd pitch.

[killebrewlover]

This will not be the last time we see Jax in a tight spot this season.  But he DID get through the inning.  It's a start...

[OvertheHill]

Do we have a late inning defensive replacement for Miranda? Don’t get me wrong - on a personal level I think he’s a nice polite young man. I just don’t know that he’s a Major League starting 3rd baseman. Yet.

You're statement was that no Twins player gets as much vitriol as Hicks does with Yankee fans. I said not necessarily true, and you come back with salary differences. OK you win

Haha I’m not arguing with you buddy. I just disagree. There’s a difference with some guys getting on him on a message board and showering a player with boos every time he shows his face. And considering the salary difference, there’s no way you could reasonably argue correa gets it as bad from the hometown fans as Aaron hicks. I even heard hicks get booed at this game tonight on the road!

[twinssporto]

Nice to see Kepler finally hitting. Hopefully it lasts more than a day or two.
