If bowling isn't working for you, I hear that there's a professional Cornhole league.  Give that a try!

How do you fit a bowling ball into that cornhole?

I can see the headline already. @USAFChiefrecruited as the oldest cornhole recruit of all time! He requests a BarcaLounger to sit in during each throwing session.

These sound like running gags....

Guys, there are some early 00’s twins games on YouTube if you forget what it’s like to watch a Minnesota ball club that was fun to watch.

yes, close to oxymorons.

[Irishman]

Looks like Pagan is pitching next.  Ugh?  Sigh?  

[mrtwinsfan]

Ober  being taken out,   Pagan warming,  Bailey easily has alot left ,  W.T.H.

[CRF]

We're getting dusted by a guy with a 7.81 ERA and a 1.70 WHIP. He's got 10 K's on us too. 

[Aggies7]

Here’s the game where the twins snapped the athletics long win streak, a radke shutout

I remember that game.  If I recall correctly, I was mad because I was at the game the night before!

I’ve learned right away this year I like a great offense and questionable pitching vs. great starting pitching and questionable offense. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Correa legs out a shallow double.

 

Hit 'em where they ain't.

Tough call. On one hand, a good offense feels like you're never out of a game but poor pitching always feels like you're just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Both works too

[RickOShea]

way to get a look at a new pitcher and make him work

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And Byron's out at first.

 

Not quite.

[rwilfong86]

Have I ever expressed how much I hate first pitch swinging in baseball?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

At least we chaises their reliever.

[OvertheHill]

Way to work that count, get a look at the pitcher……..,never mind

on the other hand, be aggressive and hit a probable fastball.  You can't win.

[Danchat]

Man, this lineup just doesn't have it.

From a pure entertainment standpoint you’re never out of a game with a great offense. This iteration of Minnesota Twins baseball, 4 runs is too much to overcome.

I kind of prefer the strong starting pitching, but then I really don’t enjoy being blanked by a guy with an ERA north of SEVEN

WOW! I have absolutely no recollection of Steinbach doing any games with Bremer. I must have blocked it out.

I'm sorry.

 

I wasn't paying attention.
