May the Forth be with the Twins… always.

But a Buxton in the lineup. Now I don't know if I should be mad or happy! Rocco must be reading TD and finally figuring out how to do his job.

Yes.

Also, you'd be wrong either way.

[Parfigliano]

End the offensive ineptitude and dont get swept by this AAAA team

[wsnydes]

Good start.

[RickOShea]

I think I figured out why the Twins offense is inconsistent.  If you have a good day at the plate, you're likely to be on the bench for the next game.  Guys want to play, so there's no incentive to have a good day at the plate. (said with tongue in cheek)

[wsnydes]

*eye roll*

Need to take advantage of opportunities.

 

[Winston Smith]

Ump is having a bad start.

Yeah, I'm watching on the radio, but it appears to be a common theme so far.

[RickOShea]

Twins' pitchers swing and miss numbers are dropping.

[stringer bell]

Meh start. Hardest hit ball was by Kepler??? 

Bremer has given more information on Buxton's health than any other source. Today's nugget was that some days Buxton is full speed some days, but there are other days where he isn't and on those days he won't attempt any stolen bases. 

[RickOShea]

Buxton needs to worry more about getting on base,  first.

[Craig Arko]

The prominent HeGetsUs ads on the stadium are kind of amusing.

I wonder if these are actually in the ballpark or if the TV network is overlaying them. Anybody here present who can clarify that?

He’s been doing a good job of that since he broke his 0-12 slump. 

[Aggies7]

I wonder if correa wakes up every morning thanking god that the Mets deal fell through so he doesn’t have to hear from the fans and media? If not, he should 

[USAFChief]

10 pitch walk to the 9 hole hitter. After 1-2 count.

 

Not good baseball. 

[Aggies7]

0 for his last 16, lead off walk

[CRF]

They way our boys are swinging the bats, that's probably the ballgame. 

[raindog]

I liked pre-extension Pablo. 

[TouchEmAllGuy]

Yuck. Get the bats going here

[wavedog]

Great instructional on how to get swept in a series by a lousy team.    

[wsnydes]

sigh

[Aggies7]

Pablo got paid and turned into a pumpkin

[wsnydes]

The rumors of the White Sox demise appear to be greatly exaggerated.

As do the rumors of our great improvement
