Come on Kep, don't start us off like that.

[2wins87]

Ugh Polanco

[Battle ur tail off]

This is the kind of stuff. 

Reason we lose 18 in a row. Come on

[wsnydes]

Polanco...woof...

[SteveLV]

Lucky Kiriloff and/or Springer not hurt on that terrible throw.  Not a good start, boys.

[PDX Twin]

Anybody else seeing hands around our throats?

[wavedog]

Well, off to a rousing start - let's get the misplays out of the way

[CoastiePilot08]

Here we go again 

[Beast]

Lol, error on the first play.  Can’t make it up.

[SF Twins Fan]

FFS!

[Schmoeman5]

2 outs given away on the 1st hitter. Not good

[Danchat]

Oh boy, putting Polanco at 3B is already beginning to cost them...

[wsnydes]

Can we at least wait until the 2nd inning to start saying "here we go again?"  It's early.  

[jimbo92107]

That was an out. Ball was in K's glove, Springer stepped on the glove, knocked the ball out. Runner should be out for interference.

[wavedog]

Yay we caught a ball!  

[SwainZag]

Shake it off Pablo, let's go boys

Willie will be in there later and Julien out. Hope it doesn't hurt us too much before then. 

[Shaitan]

I thought this was on Ch 5?

[CoastiePilot08]

Really epic defense so far 

[Battle ur tail off]

Another goof up by Julien not getting the out at 2nd. 

These boys are nervous.

[LaBombo]

Announcer surprised the Twins don't try for two with one out, like they need to gamble on that after two shaky defensive plays.

[CoastiePilot08]

Two extra outs so far 

[PseudoSABR]

Ugh Julien. Lewis at DH has a large butterfly effect.

[2wins87]

Defense looking shaky but Lopez looking good so far.  Established the sweeper.

[wsnydes]

Nice job of working around the jitters, Pablo!

[wavedog]

Nice inning by Pablo - pitching around the circus in the field

[Hawkeye Bean Counter]

Got through 1 inning of pitching,  made Pablo throw a few extra,  oh well, hope we can get a clean inning next one.

I think they will be fine now. It is just getting over that first inning. 

I also remember some bad defense the first inning of that Oakland series oh so long ago. LOL

[SwainZag]

No harm done!  Let's go bats!
