Not sure the cowboy look plays that well in Minn. This is what a sheriff looks like around here.

[stringer bell]

At least the team is seeing more pitches this inning.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Seeing more pitches tjis inning.

 

Happy?

Baby steps ...

[USAFChief]

safe.

[Mike Sixel]

In unrelated news, Diggs traded and they don't even get a pick this year.....

[USAFChief]

Looks like Paddack's velo is off 2-3 MPH this inning...

[stringer bell]

And now they steal second, I suppose.

[Jocko87]

Jeffers having a rough day so far.

95-96, looks pretty close to me.

I saw that in the 1st. 93-94 in the 2nd

[UpstateNewYorker]

Paddack really laboring. Already at 40 pitches, with a limit today of 80, according to the TV broadcast.

[stringer bell]

Paddack won't get past 4 innings.

I don't know if I'd blame a lot of it on Jeffers, Paddock is missing the set up spot by 1-3 feet on a good chunk of pitches. Hard to catch an MLB caliber arm who can't throw it anywhere near where he's supposed to.

[Robert Floren]

Paddock struggling, Jeffers stumbling.

How is Provus doing in the TV booth? Miss him. Atteberry (sighs)...

Agreed, but also a couple times he needs to get the glove turned.

He will too.!

Some time this summer.

[USAFChief]

Let's put together an inning for a change.

[Aggies7]

Hard to believe the guy who’s thrown 27 innings in the previous 2 years is laboring

For the most part I think he's been good. I miss Bremer but that's probably just him being the only commentator I've ever experienced. There's some moments where I think he gets a little too vocal but I imagine that's from being on radio before.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Julien take two...

I think Provus is excellent on TV.  I could do without some of Justin's homer-type commentary (like referring to the Twins "powerful lineup").

 

[USAFChief]

Provus is a gift from the baseball gods. He was fantastic on the radio, he's fantastic on TV.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

5 games in and they look lifeless. You take on the personality of your manager. Going to be a long season with Rocco and Popkins at the helm.

[MMMordabito]

Ross' wheels are rattling.  Gotta get to him this inning.

[RpR]

Ross seemed afraid of Kirilloff, not one pitch even close to a strike.

I'm feeling out a new system this year.  I had it down pat syncing radio and TV last year but cant always use the TV.
