Game Thread: Twins (López) @ Tigers (Skubal), 4/12 @ 5:40pm CT (delayed; et start 6:40)

[Squirrel]

It’s currently wet and icky in Detroit, but it looks like that rain will be moving away. I’m guessing a late start but that a game will get played. Go Twins!
 

[FlyingFinn]

Julien starting against a LH. Go Eddie!!

[RickOShea]

I hope you're right.  while not impressed with the Twins' play, I miss watching the games and game thread chatting.

[CRF]

It's real windy there too. 20-30 mph winds with 40 mph gusts. If they play, it might be an adventure on pop ups and fly balls.

ESPN says rain delay. Any projections for first pitch?

Shouldn't  effect the TC

Play Ball.   Big wind going out to Left

Nice to give Morneau a break,  Go Twins

[stringer bell]

Skubal throwing strikes. Two of three made contact. 

[Azviking101]

Buxton is simply not a good hitter. Good hitters don’t have at bats like that. Regardless of the circumstances or pitcher they’re facing. Buxton has ABs like that every other game at best. 

[Danchat]

Since when could Skubal hit 100? Holy cow.

[RpR]

Well Twins batters had better be on their best game.

[USAFChief]

I'm hoping the Twins can avoid getting swept this weekend.

[PDX Twin]

Doesn't seem like the Tigers without Cabrera in the lineup.

This weekend or this month?

[UpstateNewYorker]

Perfect throw.

 

[MMMordabito]

I'm Kerry Carpenter running on Buck ...

[RpR]

GEE Torkelson is putting all the Twins out.

This season I think 

[GusGus11]

I think its clear Miranda still stinks, lets uhhh stop with this guy.

 

He doesnt work counts, cant play D, doesnt have much power....and doesnt hit for average.

7 Pitch innings against Skubal is going to result in a 7 inning shut out.

[Azviking101]

Provus giving Meadows so much crap even though there’s 3 twins hitting worse is interesting but we all know it’s not allowed for them to criticize Twins players

Yes.

Four missed calls by the ump IMHO. All benefited the Twins.

Shhhh. It's only allowed to point these things out when it doesn't benefit the team we root for.

At this point the ump has to be awarding the twins hits for it to actually benefit them 

[GusGus11]

Serious question, how long of a leash does a 38 year old Carlos Santana get?

 

THis dude SUCKS

[stringer bell]

Good at-bat for Julien.

Based on previous Twins I have to assume starting daily until at least the all star break then maybe by September just a defensive replacement

[Azviking101]

Yay more called third strikes. Why swing when you can just strike out without the worry of looking bad swinging?
