Riley Greene it's going to be a pain in the @$$ for twins fans for a long time I think

[HokieRif]

I just tuned in and in the last 5 pitches we've given up 2 HRs.  For everyone's sake i'm turning the game off.

Apparently, Torkelson is lined up right behind him.

Torkleson looking like he is going to be problem for the forseeable future.

Slightly less dicey than being a professional hitman. 

That's Joey Gallo.

[USAFChief]

Go ahead and answer back, Twins.

Don't blow his cover, he has to keep a low profile.

Might have been a set up.

[Twins_Fan_For_Life]

Lots of good young hitters in this division.

Yes.

[Mike Sixel]

Imagine how good this team could be with a healthy Royce Lewis and even mildly healthy Buxton.....

Which I gladly took advantage of. Appreciated. Still jet lagged.

6'5", 250-ish, playing pro baseball. blends right in with the crowd

And Kirilloff.  

[wsnydes]

How I've missed the stolen base.  Put that pressure on the defense.

right. somehow I blanked him out. Team has a decent future with health.....

BTW, I'm done with Vazquez. Can they find a replacement next year? Yes, I know, three year deal....someone will take him off their hands.

No idea how Farmer and Vazquez are this bad, given their pasts.
