Nice job escaping the jam. Was having flashbacks to Kole Calhoun!

[Mortimerkenny21]

WooooHooooo! Julien!

[RpR]

Julien seems to have fixed what ever haunted him yesterday.

[Mortimerkenny21]

The Sheriff did his job, now let's get the rest of the team to support him!

[Schmoeman5]

See Rocco. It can be done

Few things would make me happier than Julien forcing Baldelli to have to justify all of this ineffective platooning during his post game presser.

Paddack was hitting the high 90's. Good outing for him considering the opponent and that he's still ramping back up.

Eddie's his own worst enemy at times. One thing to have a keen eye. Another to be passive. Hopefully he's figured things out.

Like Ali and the rope-a-dope? 

Julien has been sitting passively in the batters box just bidding his time, learning and waiting to unleash the fury when everyone thought he was cooked? Works for me.

Another reason to play only the guys you know will start the year here, last 10 games of spring training,

Day terror.

Twins killer, James Outman due up this inning. The grand slam last year and both of his HRs in this series.

[Schmoeman5]

If Rocco pinch hits as he has done regularly there for the past 2 years. Me thinks, someone would defend it 🤔

Who? Honest question because I don't know too many Twins fans that are keen on Rocco these days.

You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him. :)

Umm I hesitate to say. Mr real pro rally has defended that move constantly.

[RpR]

Vazquez shows why he is on the team, once again.

Hmmm. My bad. Didn't know anybody was a fan of that move.

[RocRedWing]

you're welcome everyone, my knockoff Julien jersey got delivered today and so did his powers.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Alcala, please stay healthy.

Correa and Vasquez ,  nice combo !!!!  throw -and c.c. letting the ball come to him, Polanco use to drive me crazy always reaching out on plays like that

Don't think Correa's greatness is truly appreciated.

Worst part of this homestand, other than potentially going winless of course and the historically bad at bats, hearing Dodger fans boo Correa at Target Field.

That and the 2 years left on his deal

So like 1% of the posters? 95% consensus is rare around here. Seems unnecessary to call out.

Dodger fans are some of the most toxic, stupid fans in baseball. Are we surprised?

Not even sure they're really fans so much as bandwagoners. But I get it...
