Most are. Not many guys to fear in the current lineup 

Cleveland only has 2 hitters with a BA under 250.  Twins have 6 and 5 of those under 200.  Kepler .067?  Almost and automatic out at the top of the lineup.  He has been in the MLB way to long to be putting up those numbers.  Reminds me of Dozier. Good guy that they want to play,.

We welcome all of you to the Dick Bremer booth

 

all of you but Dick Bremer of course

Good grief how are we going to score 3 (at least)

I thought that yesterday when it was 3-0... then we won 7-3.

[CRF]

Santana flashing that awesome mid depth outfield power. Ugh. 

[Aggies7]

I mentioned before how many fewer HRs there are in this year’s lineup (currently). If that deficit isn’t made up, and the strikeouts remain as high as they’ve been…look out

So awkward

[Cap'n Piranha]

Falvey in the booth opines that a lot of guys in the Twins lineup are starting to click right now.  So I guess Falvey has missed every game so far this season, other than the 7th inning yesterday?

[USAFChief]

I am already to the point where Santana is one of my least favorite Twins ever.

Irrational maybe, but there you are.

It's early, Cleveland only had three useful hitters last year and it's mostly the same group.

Note, this observation has nothing to do with the Twins ineptness, I'm just not jealous of the Cleveland bats.

[CRF]

Anybody else getting tired of the baloney that Falvey continually spews out?

Gallo was lower than that before yesterdays game, after the game, he was at .188, at that, Kepler need to fix some thing soon.

[Schmoeman5]

Thanks Derek.  5 minutes of saying nothing.

If we were rational, we'd probably be at the library or a museum or something more constructive than watching this stupid game.

I'm good with irrational.

The guy who put up OPS+ of 114, 104, 134, and 126 in his last 4 full season with the team??

We could use a few problem players like that.

He really didn't spew out baloney. He didn't spew out anything. 1/2 inning of not actually saying a single, solitary thing. Just verbal pablum.

I prefer to think of myself as derational.

[Aggies7]

This doesn’t seem like our day.

[USAFChief]

Not very good positioning from Vazquez. Got away with it.

[RpR]

Good play by Santana.

[Aggies7]

Good job wiggling out of that

You’re welcome.

Julien breaks his funk.

Hey alright 

[Cap'n Piranha]

You all owe Mr Julien an apology.
