[PDX Twin]

Is the "Brandon Belt" a collection of red states?

[Squirrel]

Wow, twins for Baldelli … double blessed, congrats

I'm sure his wife is glad it's not the Giants.

1-0 Jays. Insurmountable lead?

Yikes, shows how things can turn around very quickly.

[rwilfong86]

Down 3-0, can they come back? I'm not hopeful. 

[Winston Smith]

Dick jinx: "things have gone well thru the first 8 hitter".

Nah...but 3-0 probably is.

[RickOShea]

We let Gausman work out of a 1st inning jam, and the Jays score.  Does this picture look familiar?

Oh well, it's only a game, and another 2-3 hrs shot.

[stringer bell]

I know the Jays haven't won much lately, but didn't they put up 20 in a game against Tampa? Wouldn't surprise me if they got double digits in one game in this series.

I hope not, but wouldn't be too surprised if it is.

Sweet play by CC!

You never are, yet sometimes they do. Don’t kill your chickens before they hatched!

[TWTwinsFan]

how to keep twins from scoring...

put them on scoring position first, and they will get themself out of the inning lol

Toronto is struggling but think their schedule may have been a bit tougher but not sure.

The mere fact they're in the Eastern  Div, and have had games against most division rivals..........................

I would love to see them start picking away at the lead in this half inning. Even just 1 run would be awesome.

It seems the Twins are the best opponent for a slumping team the last 2 seasons

More of a Division i think, , Toronto is last place in the east,  and would be right with the twins at the top of the Central

Farmer's having a tough night, so far.

Nice walk Frenchie,   Gauseman dont give many,  Cmon twins

[Kummel]

Wish they could get a glug of hits and break out, somehow.  It feels like they're stuck in mud right now!

[RickOShea]

Vazquez needs to take that outside pitch to right field.  He's looking to crank one to the LF warning track, I guess.

Dick just said Gausman has reverse splits. Explains why the lineup is RH dominant.

I get the feeling, but we still just don’t know. I just can’t concede this early on even if 3 runs might be 10

He has one tater against Gauseman

[Halsey Hall]

Looks like another 2 runs or less game.
