Rocco playing 4D chess. Lose this series and maybe you avoid the Yankees in round one.

[ziggy]

I haven't seen every pitch but Matthews has left about a half dozen pitches right down the middle of the plate. 

Not going to have a happy ending throwing like that.

[AussieG]

looks like the high strike is in

If Royce goes 4-4 with 2 bombs, do they DH him the rest of the year? 

Let’s find out. 

[RpR]

Lewis was chasing ghosts on that last strike.

Although we'd end up probably playing Houston. Not easy.

I think they're on Fox tomorrow, but I could be wrong...

they're on Fox tomorrow--  YES SIR

[exeoud]

That's probably ballgame with this lineup. Zebby's control has not carried over from the minors, concerning.

[USAFChief]

Walk the 9 hitter.

Ugh.

Immediately hurts.

But good job wading through Witt and Sal with no further damage. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Speed Kills,     Big difference in style of action

yeh, he just needs to keep the ball down... if it hits a corner great, but belt high hanging cutters aint going to play

[USAFChief]

These are the KC city connect uni's, I presume. 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

One run probably enough for KC.

[AussieG]

nice wheels farm dog...

[mnfireman]

Watkins strikes again....

[USAFChief]

And...we see the difference in athleticism in these two teams.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Watkins is so bad.

[SF Twins Fan]

Out by 10 feet.

[CCHOF5yearstoolate]

Correct.

[stringer bell]

There's the difference between the Twins and the Guardians and Royals. Team speed. Farner didn't get a double because of a fast center fielder and couldn't score on a double the checked up close to the deep left field line. Both teams had good relays from the corner. If I'm Watkins, I'm sending Farmer, but he was a dead duck.

Concur.

Isbel is also a legit CFer. If that's Martin, it's probably a double for KC.

[Western SD Fan]

I hate the result, but Watkins was right to send him. It took a great relay to beat him. Not everyone executes that.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Welp...

Too many middle-middle 94 mph fastballs.

[RpR]

Now how far behind will the Twins be , before Herr Matthews is pulled.

[mnfireman]

How dare the Royals get hits with 2-outs....

[USAFChief]

All right. No major damage.

 

Farmer scared the **** out of me on that ground ball though.
