GAME THREAD: Twins (Ryan) at Royals (Lugo); 03/30/2024, 3:10pm CT

[cHawk]

There are far too many easy outs with the Twins' lineup.

[wabene]

96mph, the new Joe Ryan Experience?

Joes  hitting the glove  spot on, 

[USAFChief]

After all these years, Mrs Chief told me today she thinks I have trouble expressing my emotions.

I can't say I'm surprised.

[GusGus11]

We need to work the count on Lugo.

Julien and Wallner did it. 3 guys between them saw ball swung at ball.

Yeah probably not.

But its more so because Lugo isnt super in control so far, its April weather and its early in the year. Just make him come to you.

3 of the 4 hitters who saw mroe than 2 pitches against him, got the count to 3 balls or walked.

Yeh true, Wallner had some good hacks too

[RickOShea]

These have to be the longest first two scoreless innings in Joe's young career.

 

[RickOShea]

Anyone want to rent an RV and make the trk to cooperstown this summer?

Beer and cards provided on board.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Tryin' to think of something clever to edit a double post to.

 

Oh well.

Are the blisters from working on your sweeper pitches?

[mrtwinsfan]

In my case, playing bass.

[AussieG]

Matt "Gallo" Wallner

[RpR]

Wallner must still think it is ST and he is working on some thing.

[USAFChief]

Carlos hit the ball hard. The other two...

[Parfigliano]

That puttered out quickly

[GusGus11]

Ill say this

 

If the corpse of Carlos Santana is going to be an everyday hitter and in the middle of the order. Our ceiling massively plummets.

[mrtwinsfan]

Every person watching  knew 3 curveballs were coming, Wallner that was Ugly
