This is my first time listening to Marney Gellner on TV as the play by play announcer. I like her. A bit of a Minnesotan accent but not in an annoying way.

It's everyone's first time hearing her do PBP. She's never done the Twins before. She's doing ok...I was expecting worse, but it's fine. They could get rid of Spannie though.

If Marney has a Gelnergasm is it appropriate to mention it? I just don't want to offend.

I think we need a better name.

No, that’s for when Margot gets his first pinch hit.

Probably some after-dinner cocktails involved.

Italian beef sandwich? Da bomb. Can't get a proper one up here unfortunately.

Many years ago there was a joint in Hayward, Wisc. that had the best Italien Beef Sandwhich I have ever had any where..

Went there two years in a row, but the next year it was gone.

Maybe because to get to it, you went up an outside stairway that probably met safety standards 100 years ago , as we heard from locals he had problems with the town big shots who pulled his plug.

[big dog]

Nice rip by Wallner. 

[wabene]

No jokes on that double

Everyone here knows Margot's first PH hit will be a HR in the playoffs, bottom of the 9th, to win a series against the Yankees.  

[USAFChief]

Wallner looking very hitterish.

Kinda makes me wonder what his offseason looked like?  He ended last year looking a rough, a lot like he started this year.  Did he really need all that time in AAA to figure stuff out?

[Joe Schmitt]

Given the Larnach HR, I suggest that Twins Daily continue to write articles about batters until someone doesn't hit a home run.

Careful, the line between Jinxes and reverseJinxes is razer thin.

You think your golf swing is a delicate mechanism? Try hitting MLB pitching, lol.

Oh, I have no illusions about how epic MLB players' hitting skills are.  But if a month of intense focus in AAA helped him figure things out, couldn't that have been done in the offseason?

On the other hand, sometimes it just takes time.

Tigers help the people

No Julks on that DP

Also, I suck at golf.  I was, however, an all-state tennis play about 25 years and 150 pounds ago.

The guy hitting .101?  Really???
