Twins (Bradley) vs. Pirates (Jones): 5/29/26, 5:45pm

[Patzky]

Eh let Taj start but get two arms up. Funderburk if you insist.  

[Western SD Fan]

Orze coming in.  Interesting choice considering the lineup coming up.  They must want him to go more than 1 inning.

I'm very jealous. PNC Park has been a top destination ballpark since it opened. Is this your first time?

Apple TV means I can't watch. Hopefully Taj settles in. After the injury scare, wonder if it isn't still lingering...

Just got home and also don't have Apple TV. Curious how he looked for those with eyes tonight...

Yeah, but can you understand someone with a Pittsburgh accent?

I wonder.if he's Octavio's kid? I'm at that age where I wonder That quite often

Apple TV announcers are not as good as the AAA guys. 

Although it turns out that starting pitching is a relative strength for the Twins I wanted a Matt Wallner for Jared Jones two years ago after he was injured and added Charlee Soto to Wallner this past offseason. I kinda like the way Jared Jones throws the ball.

For some reason many fans here bring traffic cones and wave them cheering for PIT I'm asking people nearby  and no one knows why.

It's weird.

They're hoisting the cone!

At some point there is something off with the development of these players.  Not every young player who comes up and has success should be going backwards.  But that is happening with our young players.  Yes baseball is a hard game, but players on other teams are figuring it out, why can't our players.

I assume you were talking about Keaschall here and yes, I don't get it either. He was a top 50 prospect in all of baseball. 

[Patzky]

A Luke hit! Now bring him in

[Western SD Fan]

Sounds like a nice hustle double for Keaschall.  The Pirates radio boys said that Cruz was lazy getting over to the ball.

[Patzky]

Pirates are poor at challenging based on tonight's game

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

I thought Keaschall would buck recent trends and be a top 10 second baseman this year. He has work to do.

Yes I was talking Keaschall, the answer can't always be the league caught up to these guys.  How would 30 teams fill out their rosters if this was always the case,

That a boy LK, nice hustle. It’s uncanny how you say something a little negative and they show you how little you know.

[Patzky]

Suddenly the runs dry up. It's not a recipe for success.

[karcherd]

Culpepper just hit another home run.  What are we waiting for, get him up here.

[mrtwinsfan]

For the uninitiated, what do you guys mean by sombrero?

Not for me, of course. I totally understand. I'm asking for my friend. He goes to another chat.

[Patzky]

Effective pen usage. Get some run(s)

No challenges left for anyone. 

 

We're at their mercy.

[Western SD Fan]

Why Kody, why would you challenge that?  I can see us needing that challenge later in the game.

[Western SD Fan]

Guess who is warming in the bullpen??

It's Banda time!
