Let's keep up the momentum & win the series!

[Mortimerkenny21]

Go Twins!! Need to win another one!

[CRF]

Let's win today...because we have Tx, KC, Hou, and the effing Yankees coming up over the next 2 weeks.

It is wild to me how dependent this team is on a summer sausage...

This Irvin guy seems like a pitcher without overpowering stuff.  Here's hoping our batters have a good time at his expense.

Yes. Day baseball. Go Twins. Win the series. 1 hour till kick-off. Or is it tip-off? Face-off maybe? Whatever it's called. Just win.

Sausage smoke.

Washington's pitchers is not a fireball strike out pitcher, so, it will tell much.,  how many Strike Outs the Twins prone to such a thing have.

Its not your fathers sausage

Based on his stat line, Irvin throws a lot of junk. Guessing he'll keep his breaking stuff out of the zone and hope the Twins chase. Been the Achilles heel for a while now. Have some plate discipline and force him to throw strikes. Do that and they could tee off.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

That was a rather quick top of the 1st...

Soft tossing junk ballers have been their achilles heel for decades

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

SWR answers with a scoreless bottom of the 1st...

[Parfigliano]

I love how with replay every player is positive they arent ever caught stealing

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Max! Solo HR...

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

SWR needs to find the zone...

Yes, and every NBA player never fouled anyone. 🙂

Or. Every NBA player is fouled on every play.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Four seamer is topping out at 92 MPH today. That's the danger zone for SWR.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Must have left the sausage in the clubhouse or something.

[Schmoeman5]

No one at the bag 

[RpR]

Eddie still has his Bomba swing.

Bit of a tightrope job by SWR so far. Twins need to scratch some runs across.

Concur.

I do not follow minor league stuff but did Richardson come totally through the Twins system?

[Mortimerkenny21]

Larnach on base, drop the hammer Carlos!

He was drafted by the Mets, traded to Toronto, and then traded to the Twins in the Berrios trade.
