I didn't expect four innings but we might get five

[Twindy]

Who would’ve guessed, another tolling of the Bell!!!

[Over The Hill Again]

That looked like a check swing

Nerves when Sim showed up. Got through it 

[RpR]

Bell must have gone to Lewis' hitting coach.

[Peter]

One man wrecking bell 🔔

Please fix TD system.

[Over The Hill Again]

Keaschall might need a re-set

[Linus]

Keaschall is so off balance on his swing.

They are going to try and force feed a win to SWR and I fear this will end badly.

Rumblings of thunder being heard at my place... Also, why was Rojas pulled after 46 pitches??

Surprised they pulled Rojas. Hopefully not an injury.

[Patzky]

I'm already nervous.

[Over The Hill Again]

Morny adding nothing. I’d rather listen to on-field interviews.

Him in RF doesn’t make sense anyway. His arm isn’t good enough to be an every day RF. Not sure why it’s decided that Larnach is now just LF only 

Martin and Larnach have essentially the same arm strength according to statcast. Buxton also has similar arm strength (all within 1 mph). When Martin came up in 2024, his arm wasn't yet at full strength (like Keaschall) but he now is listed as having 59th percentile arm strength.

Hopefully just one inning for Sim. I believe it was the plan but I'd have loved five innings e the lead for him

[hitterscount]

Kind of rigid approach here , can't let him try to get through the 5th and get the win.... being at 46 pitches, kind of a Rocco move.

Unfortunately so is SWR

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

SWR continues to look lost out there...

Wonder if Royce waves at that ball. Thankfully we won't know

[RpR]

I wish  Vazquez was still here.

[Linus]

Rojas was great. You can see why they wanted him last year. Still needs better control but the stuff is electric.
