And to think, the media led us to believe that the 2023 performance was a result of not liking the DH spot.

Twins are hitting the ball but sadly, the Orioles flag them down.

Farmer has had some solid contact in games but that does not count.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

1-0 deficit might as well be 11-0.

[Parfigliano]

When a pitch is 5 inches outside and Angel Hernandez calls it a strike does the C get credit for "framing" the pitch?

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Orioles' pen is pretty good. Guessing that Suarez doesn't come out for the 6th.

Dealing against a dominant lineup and still likely to take an L.

[mrtwinsfan]

Batters,  Give Pablo some Friggin help

[mrtwinsfan]

Julien improving he actually got the bat on a Pop up

[CRF]

We're gonna lose this game 1 (or more, when the pen gets in there) to 0. Pablo makes one bad pitch and we can't even scratch a run across the plate against a nobody pitcher, to at least tie it up! This is just a nightmare.

Yup, pretty much.

[Aggies7]

Baserunning gaffe

It would never happen but they should ship Buxton out to St. Paul. He needs a serious wake-up call. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Dont do it Rocco, , leave A.K.IN

Nope!! Atterbury is awful!! Earlier he asked Molitar about his memories of Cal Ripkin Sr and I thought great Paul with get to share some good stories !

No, he started to say a few things and got interrupted by Chris who then rambled on about his thoughts on Cal Sr🤮

he needs to learn to stfu and let someone else contribute!!

Something has to change. This is ridiculous.

I felt that way last year too.

Just do it.  His fee-fees dont matter.

This offense is terrible. Makes any pitcher look like a Cy Young candidate. 
 

whatever the twins hitting philosophy is- needs heavily challenged.

Pablo doing his absolute best to let this team fly home with a win. 
 

Twins bats need to wake up and let some mojo in the clubhouse. 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Through last night...

Team batting average - .195

Team OPS - .620

I can confirm they’ve hit 10 balls over 90 mph

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Wondering if that's it for Pablo. Great performance today. Too bad he pitches for the Twins.

[MABB1959]

Hope they leave Lopez in and maybe give him a few runs to work with

[danielp19653]

Think Pablo can hit too? 

[Schmoeman5]

Austin Martin. Perhaps he can play CF. Nice play

He hasn't been Popkinized yet. Give it time...

Popkins doesn't have anything to do with outfield play.
