Game Thread: Twins (Ober) @ Tigers (Flaherty), 4/14 @ 12:40pm CT

[Schmoeman5]

I thought Margot was a corner defensive specialist??? That's 2 days in a row and he's had other opportunities. Not good

[RickOShea]

Remember the 'Twins Way' of playing baseball?  Hit the cut-off man, execute small ball ocassionally, utilize the talent you have in the right position, etc.  All gone, especially during the Rocco era.

[Twinsoholic]

Nice mix of pitches by Ober.

Red Sox didn't need it anymore, might as steal it from them.

[RickOShea]

I think, no I'm sure, Perkins' favorite word is opportunity.

While I'm on a roll: unless there's an injury, Margot over Wallner is lunacy 

Yeah, Wallner is doing so well.

Is Margot lighting it up? I hadn't noticed 😅

Perkins: "(Farmer) is one for one at Comerica Park with his pants up."

 

Heh.

Margot might be the worst defensive out fielder ive ever seen

Robbie Grossman, 2016. I've never seen anything that bad, Margot isn't even in the realm of that performance.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Hey, runs!

[USAFChief]

Doink!

Thing of beauty. 2 out RBI, the key to life.

Well. The French Monk is much more stylish than the Belgian version. Good job Ryan Jeffers

Well, there was Wallner playing bounce , catch, bounce , catch yesterday.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Wasn't Margot supposed to be good defensively?

It's surprising too because the Rays typically preach fundamentally sound baseball. He's the opposite thus far.

He doesnt have a clue where the ball is going

Mickey Hatcher and Lew Ford provided some entertaining moments.

Grossman, in just 635 innings, was -20 Defensive Runs Saved. That's so bad it's impressive.

And Margot with his beautiful catch on Torklesons "double"  Yesterday as well.

Oh, Delmon. He "only" peaked at a -14 DRS but his consistency was impressive, as he posted consecutive -14, -11, -11 numbers.

Oh true, but I would take Margot's Batting Average over Wallner's.

[RickOShea]

Margot is the Twins' version of "Radio".

[Brock Beauchamp]

They let Flaherty off the hook with that quick inning.

A man that athletic had absolutely no excuse for how he played the game on both sides of the ball.

My favorite play from high school days: "I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! youtakeit."

VAZQUEZ!!

 

As expected.

[Schmoeman5]

Vasquez. 1st homer is 2 months earlier than last year. Good going. Twins actually look like they might be warming up. Nice. Still a ways to go

[Robert Floren]

Lets sew this one up Twinkies.
