I hear ya. When this guy pitches I put the ober/under on cornball puns and jokes at 11.5.

Pro tip: bet the Ober.

Have a seat, meat.

Is that number total for the thread or your personal number of puns?

[Craig Arko]

Hopefully Taylor bunts for the cycle today.

I want more Chief jokes, not fewer, but to each their own

Hopefully he starts producing because he is the weakest link right now

[RickOShea]

Correa and Miranda have done a nice job this first month, getting the DP down.

[rwilfong86]

[rwilfong86]

That looked like it was gone.

[cHawk]

That should be a HR.

[mrtwinsfan]

WTF  Polanco

[PDX Twin]

It will take a long time for me to forgive Polanco for that out. You have to hustle no matter what!

[USAFChief]

Long single.

[ziggy]

ever notice that there is never two ball games exactly alike?

Yesterday a bunt double, today a jogged double for an out.

[lecroy24fan]

Different parks have different rules. Some of them top of the wall is a HR.

Unless the umps are signaling, hustle out of the box!!!! Worst case in that scenario they review it and you still have a double. 

[Robert Floren]

It never went ober the wall.

[RickOShea]

It's a humbling game.

[mrtwinsfan]

Polanco,    NEVER Presume------Run it out ,  

[rwilfong86]

More superb defense today.

That's what makes baseball great.

[USAFChief]

More gold glove defense from MAT

[RickOShea]

No one will ever accuse the Twins of having a high baseball IQ, on these last two instances.

So many think Ober is the answer, and I hope he is.  How many will hang with him if he stumbles?

Ober 154 major league innings (about a season’s worth) he sports a 3.74 ERA, a strikeout per inning and 2.4 WAR. That’s comparable to 2022 Robbie Ray, Adam Wainright, top 30ish starting pitchers in baseball. Not bad for a 4th/5th/6th starter! Do I expect the savior of the rotation? No, but a solid starter.
