This team is somehow 8-5 combined against the Astros and Yankees.

I says it's playing to the level of the competition.

[USAFChief]

Good outing from Lopez. 

[CRF]

Damn...Pablo is giving us a very nice start tonight...and we're gonna get goose-egged again. This is sickening. 

[tony&rodney]

Pablo Lopez goes 7 innings, giving up one run against the best team in baseball in their park. If someone cannot see how good of a starting pitcher Pablo Lopez is, I cannot help them.

[RickOShea]

Darn, one friggin' flyball after another.

"I'm sick of seeing this homer", best commentary in a long time from Plouffe

I'm on the radio. Don't understand the context. Can you help?

Rick, this is the Twins we're talking about here; not the Vikings.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Garlick is still up?

 

Maybe he can get something going.

[USAFChief]

Next time you're at a game notice how much deeper the Twins play their OF than almost every other team.

That Polanco flair probably falls in against the Twins.

Maybe not...

[CRF]

Nice job there by our "lefty masher"!

[USAFChief]

Garlick has really helped.

 

Not.

Yeah, they showed the homer back from the early part of the game by TB.

[Winston Smith]

If this continues when do we start to worry about Correa? Fourth of July?

[UpstateNewYorker]

This game is going to be over in two hours. We've got that going for us ...

Good point, and taken.

Mid April for me.

4 runs scored since last Thursday. 

This is as close as I’ll ever come to knowing what a soccer fan feels like.

[CoastiePilot08]

I’m lazy and apathetic…when’s the last time an under .500 was in 1st place this far into a season?

Soccer is more exciting than this and it’s not close. 
 

watch the EPL and you’ll be more entertained THAN the Twins.

although the season just ended.

Hey now, don't exaggerate. 

It's not THAT bad.

 

Watching grass grow > watching Twins offense > watching soccer

[CoastiePilot08]

We’re approaching golf on TV levels of boring 

[mrtwinsfan]

I dont blame Garlick -- But to say his specialty is hitting lefty pitchers  when his avg is 176 is Nuts, i would rather see Kiroloff try to develop as a full time player,  This Platoon thing only with some players ??   is all on the Manager, and he just keeps doing Goofy moves,

The fact that the twins should have been in rebuild mode and they went and threw all that money at a guy who was pedestrian last year and used us as an absolute last resort is felonious. And it’s turned out exactly as it should have. Never go with someone who makes you their third option. Lesson learned (hopefully)

[RickOShea]

Thank God for extending Rocco's contract. I'd hate to lose this guy.

[OvertheHill]

Stewie!

Thx, Rick. I enjoy Plouffie on Talkin' Baseball.

Pinch hitting for one of your best hitters. Brilliant.

Ok…it’s like being a fan of a GOOD soccer team.
