The MLB Twins May 12 game page shows the words Watch Free. Any ideas what this means? It is not a hyperlink to anything. 

If it says watch free, click on the television icon and you should be able to stream for free. Unless you are in a blackout area.

When Ober is locked in, he's really good.

He and Paddock are my ‘if’ players this year, the rotation wouldn’t be too bad. If.

[Parfigliano]

WTF with swinging at every pitch this guy throws batting strategy

[UpstateNewYorker]

Manoa could pitch a complete game at this rate.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Bats have been ice cold since Jeffers homer yesterday.

So could Ober

Checking in with IT Jr. from Four Winds Field in South Bend, watching the Kernels hook up with the homestanding Cubs.

Maybe, but it'd be the first of his career.

He's pitching a fantastic game though.

[USAFChief]

First pitch weak ground out. Huh. Weird.

edit: 4 pitch inning for the offense. Way to work it.

[Aggies7]

Why are we refusing to take pitches and work counts 

[Aggies7]

4 pitches, that’s a joke

Top 6th 4 pitch inning

[mrtwinsfan]

4  pitches,  58 after 6  Someone in a rush ?

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Considering how bad Manoah has been, these 6 innings could be the worst showing all season for this line up.

[USAFChief]

I don't think they can continue to play Martin in center field. Actually, he's been a bad outfielder in any of the 3 spots.

 

[Doctor Gast]

Time to rock & roll

Yeah he just doesn't have the instincts.

And with him not hitting it feels like he's bound for St. Paul soon.

Yeah, I guess what helps him is I don't think there's anyone else on the 40 man roster to bring up...unless Wallner gets a shot.

I'd imagine he gone when/if Buxton is activated. They're not going to cut bait on Margot yet.

[CRF]

Can't believe we haven't gotten to Manoah yet. He's been brutal the last couple years. We have to find a way to get a run or two across, and hope the pen can hold it. Ober's pitching great, but Rocco will pull him soon. 

[Doctor Gast]

It's time to throw that sausage in the garbage.

[USAFChief]

Hahahaha. Santana!

[Aggies7]

Santana is on fire 

[Squirrel]

Give him the sausage in the head!

Ish.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Yeah we may have written the old man off too soon!

[brooklynegg]

That's getting it done! Way to go Carlos!
