Game Thread: Twins (SWR) @ Blue Jays (Gausman), 5/11 @ 2:07 CT

[Squirrel]

With a Twins win and. a Guardians loss, we could overtake 1st in the central … who’d a thunk it? Go Twins!

[stringer bell]

Yes! Tied with Guards in the loss column and ahead of KC by percentage points. I don't know if there will be a real race for the Central yet, but it seems a lot more possible now than it did at the beginning of the season. 

Gausman has been very good for the Jays, but the Twins have had very good success against him.

Yes the Twins have done well vs Gausman. It'll be interesting to see if that will continue today.

We've always hit Gausman pretty well, but we still need a good start by SWR. Howz about we score more than 2 or 3 runs? Let's hang a 10 spot on em!

Sean Burroughs former MLB and Twin player passed away at the age of 43.  Such a sad day. Our thoughts and prayers for his family.

Just want to remind everyone that tomorrow is Mother's Day.

Make sure your spouse gets all her housework done today so she can get the lovely day she deserves tomorrow.

Reminds me of when my dad got my mom a new vacuum for Chritmas. I still remember.  It was an Electrolux tank sweeper.  My dad was all proud until my mom said. That's not a f ing Christmas present. That's work

Through 38 games: Twins pitchers, 385 K (10.2 per 9 innings); Twins batters, 337 K. Noticeable improvement per our bats.

When Lewis comes back does he hit lead off? Buxton in the six or seven spot?

[wabene]

Tough right-hander today, this is an opportunity for AK and Julien to pick up the pieces.

[USAFChief]

2 out RBI. The key to life.

I'd guess Lewis is more likely to hit 3rd, 4th, or 5th.

[USAFChief]

Thanks. Thanks very much.

Eddie will be amped up here in his homeland, eh?

I took some engraving lessons recently. Gotta say, the process is complicated. I feel like I've only just scratched the surface.

[mrtwinsfan]

Just what the Dr, ordered, for S.W.R.

As long as it's not the furniture

[USAFChief]

There's your 3 runs, Simeon. 

[BH67]

The early field goal is promising.

[Schmoeman5]

Great to hang a crooked number up. Early and often

Got Gausman on the ropes early

[Schmoeman5]

Santana doesn't get that 1 but a really great effort

But let him off.

[Schmoeman5]

He got that 1 though. Carlos!

[USAFChief]

Really nice scoop from Santana. Really tough hop, with the runner bearing down. 

[RickOShea]

SWR is not on point.  He looks like he's ready to cough up a gaggle of runs.

They are getting his pitch count up there.

[USAFChief]

That'll work.
