so much fun!

Brutal lol

both Jeffers and Kiriloff watch hanging curves right down the middle and then swing at garbage. And then typical Larnach changeup swing

Oh come on, Kirilloff.

He had a nice first inning. with his dropped foul ball and now a gorgeous strikeout.

[sweetmusicviola16]

I know one guy in particular who should be on the bench today. A lot of guys struggling but Buxton's move last night warrants a benching.

[sweetmusicviola16]

2 K's in the 1st is standard Twins hitting. No surprises.

[Parfigliano]

Media Man leads off next inning.

You mean an entity worth $1.3 trillion?

I don’t think the TD staff shares your concern.

AK Caught that foul.  Made it interesting but caught it

[RpR]

The announcer just said it is odd for Buxton to have a bad April and my aging memory does seem to think he is correct.

He gets a double, but from me he gets a BOOOOOOO!!!!!

I'm forgiving of a slump, but not nonsense.

I get the sense he got the message another way.

His April OPS (.778) is just a smidge above his career OPS (.762) 

[RpR]

Camargo looks like Astudillos little brother.

[RickOShea]

Wow, the Twins sure look like and are playing like the Tigers.

[mrtwinsfan]

Was brutal to carmago.   wow 4 pitch inning Bailey lets see it ober and ober

[OvertheHill]

Have the feeling that IF the Twins could just string together a handful of quality ABs they’d beat this Tigers lineup pretty handily. But I thought the same thing last night. 

[Azviking101]

Standard twins run. They score but not because anyone did anything right.

[CRF]

I have a suspicion we're gonna need more than 1 run to win today. The question is...are we going to get it? 

[IndianaTwin]

When Bailey pitches like this it's a wonderful life. 

[Blyleven2011]

I'm wired with caffeine just to watch this game ...

[OvertheHill]

I sure hope they don’t try (again) to turn Martin into a TTO guy. I appreciate a contact type hitter who’s good on the base paths. 

[Danchat]

Martin showing why he shouldn't be slotted at #9 in the lineup...

[Parfigliano]

2 runs.  Both via outs.  Who are these guys?

[USAFChief]

Nice job, Jeffers.

Show that inning next time some stathead tells you K's are just like any other out.

So some outs really are better than strikeouts?
