So Varland is #4?

Based on the results so far today, he might be #2.

If Varland can throw 123 he should do fine.

123 MPH heater.

As expected.

I’ll always laugh at poop jokes, I can’t help it 

[ashbury]

Bases loaded, one out?

This can only end well.

[Azviking101]

Buxton will sadly never learn to lay off pitches that no one swings at 

[Aggies7]

Fundamentals!!! How do you get to the major leagues and not know which base to throw to

[chaderic20]

Churio trying to throw out Buxton at 3rd from deep right, lol.

Youthful exuberance 

[Irishman]

Base loaded and only 1 run.    Guess it is still base-loaded curse!

In the pre-game it was mentioned that hitters swinging 1st pitch vs Junis were hitting around .400. So I'm sure that was the philosophy coming into this game.

It sounds like he was in the BP last year in San Francisco… so those stats are meaningless. 
 

Bases loaded… at least they got a run and won’t be shut out.

[FilthyMogwai]

Thank goodness for that SF. Scoreless inning streak snapped at 12. 🤣

If it were meaningless, the Twins didn't get that memo.

No, it meant that Chief Wins Teh Intarnets Today.

Wonder if he'll ever give anyone else a chance...

Ah yes, elementary school. Raise one finger or two for the John.

 

[FilthyMogwai]

When Rocco decides to let his pitchers stay in the game and when he's quick to pull is still a mystery to me.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Once more onto the beach!

Very very disappointing.  Very low BA's so far (except Buxton and Kirloff.

Varland just had a 1-2-3 inning, wasn't that the right call to keep him in?

[Aggies7]

Not a strike 

[Aggies7]

Alcala looked pretty good

one way to put it 

[Irishman]

Way too many Ks in first 6 innings!   Not very productive. 

[Aggies7]

Buxton almost got run down by one of the sausages. Must have been a competitor of Sheboygan

[ChermesZ]

Twins offense has been offensively stinky.

[MABB1959]

Twins lineup is so boring. Only 3 hits in 6 innings

[USAFChief]

Alcala still isn't very good.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Onto the 7th down 2.
