So what was everyone's favorite game one moment? Mine was when I napped through it.

Mine was when I closed the video feed while it was 0-0 in the first.

I like the Twins here. I usually only do 1 game per day, but had to do 2 today. Scaled it back a bit. $50 on Twins.

[Tibs]

I'm a little upset to not see Colabello in the lineup. What's the point of calling him up if you aren't going to use him? He got a pinch hit opportunity in the first game but someone else could have done that.

[snepp]

Hardest hit ball of the season for Carroll.

[snepp]

HEr-MANN!

Sano, Rosario, and Morales promoted to AA, in case anyone doesn't check the minor league boards.

I was at the game--so I couldn't nap--lots of Twins fans there. My favorite moment probably was the play Parmalee made off the wall on the double. Reminded me of Cuddyer. I also liked when the Twins nabbed the guy at home (surprised Doumit held on to the ball).

 

First time seeing Twins live in a couple of years--very unimpressed--middle infield defense is weak...

HEr-MANN!

 

How can anyone hate having 3 catchers?

I knew about Sano... Did not know about Rosario and Morales... Thanks for the info...

 

New Britain... Is the Farm Hot Spot now.

Florimon #3 out of 10

[snepp]

Florimon has as many home runs to right in TF now as Mauer does.

[Riverbrian]

Deduno steps in the bucket.

[GCTF]

Florimon has as many home runs to right in TF now as Mauer does.

 

That may be but this game is in Washington.

[snepp]

Don't mind me, my nap didn't last long enough.

[Riverbrian]

That may be but this game is in Washington.

 

Snepp is on a roll... Just go with it.

[snepp]

So, how about that Expos rotation?

[Guest USAFChief]

Florimon has as many home runs to right in TF now as Mauer does.

Zero?

[Riverbrian]

Nicely done by Hicks

[30whales]

That was quite the throw by Hicks, no Yasiel Puig though.

Is Deduno over 75 already?

[Riverbrian]

Ugg... 0-2 flip off the bat single on a slider away.

[Guest USAFChief]

Is Deduno over 75 already?

I know there's sometimes a question about the actual age of some hispanic ballplayers, but I think that's unlikely.

[mikeee]

50 pitches in the 3rd. He is the wild man.

[AZTwinsFanJm]

Deduno is killing me. Should have stayed disciplined and not played this game. SMH

That could've been a lot worse.
