Can't they just swing through our meatballs like we do to theirs?

[Parfigliano]

That was middle--middle

[CRF]

Another game where we can't do absolutely anything at the plate. Down 2-0 in the 4th. C'mon get something going here!

[RpR]

Richardson gets a rude greeting.

8-ball says "No"

[mrtwinsfan]

S.W.R.  gonna have to develop a OUT pitch, to much contact and foul balls,  Thats not helping out Edweird

[RpR]

Twins fielding is lacking.

[TouchEmAllGuy]

Limiting the damage at least

[USAFChief]

Julien can work on his defense all he wants, and it'll help, but the basic problem is "stone hands." And that's just about impossible to completely fix.

[Schmoeman5]

That play has to be made. It didn't cost anything. This time

It's fine if you're Roberto Duran. Not so good for Eduard.

Generous home field scoring. E4 on my scorecard

[IaBeanCounter]

I'm surprised they let SWR start the 5th.

The same - don't give Julien errors scoring that dominated last years scoring.

[TwinsDr2021]

Are we surprised SWR came back out with 80 pitches? Is it because it is the Sox?

Basic problem?  Huge problem. 

A manger who makes the lineup based on '80s understanding of lefty....righty splits.

I was wrong.  He got the 3-4-5 hitters out.  Now if the Twins can score 3 or more this inning, he will be line for the win.

[Mike Sixel]

Not a great start, not a bad start. If he did that 2/3 of the time, I'd be pretty pleased in year 1 of his play. Maybe even half the time. Give them a shot to win half your starts as a rookie? I'm ok with that.

Now, the O? Ummmmm. Sigh.

[RpR]

They have a quick First Baseman.

[RpR]

STRIKE, down the middle.

[Schmoeman5]

Not sure quick and Vaughn has ever been used in a sentence. I guess 1st baseman works

[Parfigliano]

Throw a 0 here Sands and theres a W

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

This lineup is disgusting.

[RpR]

Good catch by Castro.

[wavedog]

Well, we are not going to score on our own - C'mon White Sox give us some walks and errors.
