Game Thread: Twins @ Royals, 3/28@3:10pm CDT

[Jerr]

Last I looked its Twin 2- KC 1, stop all this negativity.

 

[ashbury]

Hadn't seen Kirilloff's beard until now.  Not a plus, IMO.

[Fornasiere-ite]

Kiriloff with a beard is going to be dangerous. 

[Mike Sixel]

Buxton on the board!

[ashbury]

Yeah, base hit for Byron.

[Fornasiere-ite]

Quad injury is the initial report on Lewis

His BA was very low?

Wallner almost passed him.

Sad to say I haven't spoken to Mrs Chief in almost a week now.

 

I didn't want to interrupt her.

[RpR]

Twins lead -  22 Ks to 7 Ks.

Yup, was just coming to say the same. Austin Martin welcome to the twins 

maybe Miranda?

[USAFChief]

Rocco to Stewart:  "Psych!"

[USAFChief]

Nice outing, Pablo. Hat's off.

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Someone want to whisper to Rocco that Duran is not available???  How's he going to get 3 innings out of this bullpen?  Stewart warming up and about to come in the 7th?????  Who's closing?  Jax?  Who's got the 8th?  Grrrrr.  It's only game 1.

[Mike Sixel]

Miranda or Martin if Lewis is out? I'm betting Miranda at this point.

[Parfigliano]

Crooked number time

Looks like Stewart for the 8th and Jax for the 9th.

[Danchat]

Man it is nice to have an ace starter. Looks like he is picking up where he left off.

Not likely to be quick, though.

Way to early to tell....I immediately thought one of those ACL's popped by how he jammed his foot into the base.  A quad injury is probably the best possible alternative.

Only because Pablo talked Rocco out of making the move....SMH

I don't know what she did to deserve you, Chief.

Doesn't usually do that.

I don't like sac bunting, but this is a situation where I absolutely have Kepler lay one down.

Dunno. we'll see if he comes out to play first next half inning.

Kepler needed a moment after fouling one off his leg.

[USAFChief]

2 out RBI, Willie. 2 out RBI.

[SteveLV]

Nope.
