[Dave The Dastardly]

Nice intro. Can't wait to see more.

[Joe A. Preusser]

Twins: 8

Royals: 1

 

[Squirrel]

Wonder if Austin Martin will get any game time today. Maybe tomorrow.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Is this the equivalent pictures on milk cartons for injured Twins players?

[Parfigliano]

No HR's today Ryan.

Maybe get a blister on his little finger.

Maybe get a blister on his thumb.

That would put him in dire straits for sure.

[Joe A. Preusser]

I thought Margot would start, stats say he crushes Lugo.  

[Squirrel]

Lineups:

 

[cHawk]

It's a good day when Jeffers isn't batting second.

[Shaitan]

I like this lineup better than the opener (except Lewis, of course).

They only have like 3 position players on the bench, so he'll get his chances.

I can't believe they carried this many pitchers at this point in the season. Even knowing how modern MLB works, it feels excessive with all the off days.

Is Kepler out? Counting him with Martin, Margot, and Farmer, I get 4.

I was estimating. I trust your math.

But they basically used the whole bench in game 1.

So... we had a good off season?

Kepler isn't out, but doubtful he'll play since he's not starting. Do you think he'd come in as a defensive replacement if his knee kept him out of the starting lineup? Maybe as a pinch hitter. We'll see. I'm anxious to see tomorrow's lineup. Back to back games. Will Buxton get an off day or DH or play CF? 

[akmanak]

I believe Ryan will own KC. Not a hitters park and I have him for my pitcher on Fandual. Twins 3 KC 1

And dire straits beat 2 pairs, right.

Do You think the player ever has any say in how they feel ?

[USAFChief]

Jordon Montgomery to the DBacks, 1 Yr, $25M.

 

That ain't workin', that's the way you do it.

[Dave Borton]

MLB radio has been a mess this week, to include Twins broadcasts.

Live feeds interrupted with dead time while play is in action, audio on one booth and same game's second booth is off, commercial dead time, two commercials audios on simultaneously. What a mess this week.

MLB really promoting its own feeds. Not sure if it is ads not being sold or if its MLB exercising its trump card.
