“LOB CITY”

[Puckett34]

Brutal Ed

[USAFChief]

I mean...gotta swing at that, Eduard

[rwilfong86]

I think Julien strikes out looking more than any other Twin

[Parfigliano]

To close to take.  Again.

It wasn't even close. Close to center cut.

[Azviking101]

So we’ve got a guy that bunts with the bases loaded and a guy who’s afraid to swing with the bases loaded. 
What’s next?

Broadcaster said he is one of the top 5 in the league in % of strikeouts that are strike-out-looking. 

[nicksaviking]

This team hasn't scored a run before the 4th inning since Lewis went down.

Had the audio muted, but good to know!

[Aggies7]

They couldn’t even interview Dick in the actual booth that’s been named after him? Lol

[Puckett34]

Bremer, all class

[Azviking101]

Bremer- “when you do something for 40 years and you (big pause) ease away from it”

Incredible. He almost put air quotes around it 😂

[Twinsoholic]

Julien must have been thinking fastball. I had memories of Rich Becker there with the bat motionless as strike 3 crossed the plate.

Julien - FOLL ME ONCE SHAME ON YOU. FOOL ME TWICE SHAME ON ME!!!!

Afraid to swing on a full count and 2 out. Not much consequence for a batter who has the best eye. Way too borderline. Looking like a rookie to start this year.

Bad sentence

[Aggies7]

Dick’s got some resentment behind those eyes

Yeah that ... pause ... said a lot.

How dare he, the Twins gave his charity a whole $5,000!

Julien - I don’t care if you are Baldelli’s pet, Farmer’s little buddy, or Gleeman’s man crush. You gotta protect the f plate!!!!

That's not what my eyes or the tracker said. It was at the knees.

[USAFChief]

That said, it was time to move on from Dick, IYAM.

He does, but he's got too much class to say anything derogatory. Did you notice, he said "eased" when he talked about leaving? Yeah, he was eased all right. He was eased to the door.

He doesn’t appear to agree 😂

To be fair, Cory is really great and Dick is nearing 70 years old. Wonder what the behind the scenes story is?

[Aggies7]

All these whiffs. Yikes

[Aggies7]

BOOOOOOOO!!! (First one of the year for me)

Unfortunately, we'll probably never know the whole story.  I do wish they would've given Bremer a proper year-half year send off. He earned it. 

[USAFChief]

Woof.

Baseball gets harder and harder to watch.  All the K's.
