I get the splits favor Farmer there but man every part of me hates that swap every time we do it 

[Aggies7]

Essentially got 5 outs that inning and they still could only muster one measly run 

[Irishman]

Base loaded resulted one run scored again.   Curse still on!

Bases loaded, two out?

This can only end well.

Well... they were only loaded with one out.

Let's hope it gets worse and Farmer ends up facing a RHer later, too.

Twins bullpen still allergic to clean innings.

Patiently been waiting

Twins now 3-for-24 today (.125) after going 4-for-31 (.129) on Sunday. 

This team was fun to watch at the end of last year, but it's hard to forget how bone-chillingly cold they can get. For weeks at a time. 

Santana looks washed up, Wallner overmatched, and Castro has had a horrific start to the year. A lot of easy outs right now.

Twins are so banal about splits even when the numbers don't favor it. It's infuriating.

[h2oface]

Oh how I miss the days when batters believed in "protecting the plate" with 2 strikes instead of begging for walks. 

[Aggies7]

Might be too early to say, but losing Royce might have been catastrophic for this offense.

Patient is not exactly the theme of this thread...

They go from fifth to 29th in projected fwar without Lewis, though the projections still have him getting 400 ABs.... So it isn't reflected.

How many days into the 10 day DL stint are we?

I used to be a doctor, but I had to quit. Lack of patients

I don't PH Farmer here.

edit: Terrific AB, sir. 

 

Why not, this way Farmer addes to the strike out total instead of Julien getting K number Two.

Right now only Kepler, Margot and Vazquez do not have K; Farmer can feel like one of the club.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hmmm? Jay Jackson?

 

I have been missing.

 

Nice throw Vasquez!

Wut??

[MABB1959]

Why is Kepler batting 4tH?  Are they that bad?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I am content with a 1 3 3 inning.

I might feel different if it was with a good hitter.

He has one of the 4 hits , does that bother you?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Fun to watch Buxton!

[Aggies7]

What a play, Jeeze

At third base, if Lewis doesn't play much, they drop that far. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Credit to the 3b there.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hold it for the 9th...

Yes...pathetic average of .125 and really troublesome that they only have 4 hits in the entire game.

[Aggies7]

Great defense last few innings 

[Aggies7]

Jay Jackson, Joe Jackson. Both seem pretty alright to me
