Twins have hit Nestor   pretty well , all about pitch selection

Good, Let's do it again and knock him out early! Would be a great time to gain some separation in the division. Guardians are struggling again against the Rockies.

[wsnydes]

That was more of an adventure than it probably needed to be.  

Tough play hit right at you though.

[Aggies7]

DJ LMH owns the twins 

[mrtwinsfan]

I would never give D.J. A LETTER HIGH FASTBALL ON THE OUTER CORNER,   Dont they scout these guys ?

[stringer bell]

Key at-bat here in the first. One run-not bad, but multiples, I’d worry. 

[mnfireman]

Yankee's squaring it up against Ryan, only 1 run though. Hope he settles in a little.....

Twins are squaring Straight up

[mrtwinsfan]

Polo looking better from the right side ,  this year so far

[Aggies7]

Not loving the pitching matchup tomorrow, so I would think tonight is quite important as far as winning that season series goes

[Aggies7]

Joe not fooling too many bats this evening

Who’s the guy in the ill-fitting leather jacket paired with Laudner?

This guy?

Hope we don’t need that challenge 

[Aggies7]

Bad 0-2 pitch there. 

[stringer bell]

Oh man, losing a challenge in the second inning. 

[Winston Smith]

Aaron Hicks has a career 13.4 war and and ops of .713. He's made over $55 million.

[USAFChief]

Man I hate that 0-2 pitch to Volpe.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Alright Buxton!!

I don’t feel sorry for him, of course. But, OTOH, he has really become the villain in Gotham, when he is performing as well as he can. 

[mrtwinsfan]

My vote is for Royce Lewis when he starts playing again ,  3b     and no c.f.   same  with Brooks Lee

[Aggies7]

I used to look forward to Miranda’s at bats a lot 

[mnfireman]

Zero plate discipline, swinging at everything, most of it not even close....

What did the Yankee fans expect to get out of him though? Did they expect a buxton type? They gave up a below average catcher who’s been out of the game for years to get him

As I type this, Castillo battles nicely to earn a walk!!

[Aggies7]

Boy that 3-1 pitch to Larnach, thought it would be mash city

[stringer bell]

So hard to get ‘em over and get ‘em in in the swing hard and swing harder era. 

[mnfireman]

Both teams may be into the BP before the 6th; Cortes @ 35 pitches, Ryan @ 34 pitches

Not to mention the middle middle fastball he struck out on. Time to send him across the river.

Wallner has a 1.057 ops at the moment....

Same here,  even if he gets straightened out  i want Royce at least ready to play 3b,  and no more c.f with 2  bad injuries,

That inning for Ryan helped
