Let's hope today is closer to the first Joe Ryan day this year rather than the second!

Go Twins!

[Possumlad]

These next two series are big. Fall even 3-4 more games under 0.500 & you lose the casual fan before the wearm-weather season even really starts. Twins need to hang within 3-5 games of 0.500 to keep folks interested through the ASB.

The casual fan was lost last season when we shipped off 10 players over 36 hours. The NHL and NBA playoffs are right around the corner. Hopefully both the Wild and Timberwolves have deep playoff runs to distract from this lousy Twins team.

I disagree. I'm in a house with a few casual fans who are fired up for spring & summer baseball. They'll lose interest if the Twins suck enough, but outside of that they don't know enough about individual players to care about the blow-up from last year. 

[HarmonK03]

It looks like Shelton got the word from the front office, play Outman.

I think you're living with clueless fans not casual fans...

The Wild, maybe.  The Woofies, I'm not so sure of any more.

I'm hoping a return to the leadoff spot kindles Buxton's bat. Being a DH hasn't been kind to his hitting though..

Injuries are piling up for the Wolves at the wrong time 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

If you are out of town and watching on tv, don’t let the sunshine fool you. It is extremely cold for baseball and the wind chill makes it feel like -50 below today lol 

[Patzky]

Go time.

[Patzky]

Ok that's the start we wanted from Joe.

But it's a tolerable cold with the low humidity, right? 

[Patzky]

Lol challenge a one strike call in the first inning. Nice.

[Western SD Fan]

I must have missed the reason why there are only 3 umpires tonight?  Can anyone shed some light on that?

yeah, there needs to be some rules for the challenge system for the Twind hitters.  That was a terrible challenge from Larnauch.

honestly, if the feels like temperature was 10 degrees I’d believe it, it’s nasty out there

Tigers return the favor. 

[Vanimal46]

MLB really did screw the Twins this year scheduling 20 home games from April 1 - May 3rd. What did they expect?

[Patzky]

Six outs on 25 pitches, not peak efficiency but pretty good compared to what we usually see. 

[The Great Hambino]

Man, when Ryan's breaking stuff is on point, he's fun to watch and tough to hit

White Sox have rescheduled tomorrow evenings game to the afternoon due to cold.

Just hope the bats can get him some runs!
