Royals (Avila) v Twins (Ryan), 6/6 @ 1:10pm CDT

[Patzky]

Still searching for our first hit.

Oofta

We have way of making mediocre pitchers look really good… maybe the second time thru, as been said many times, Molitor is awesome.

[Vanimal46]

The Pohlads and season ticket holders don’t like hearing this, but the best life hack when attendance is this light is buying the cheapest ticket you can find and seat surf

Avila has good velocity and variety. Give him credit.

The sequel has a less villainous villain.

The pitcher has to be perfect.. gets old. And he blew it on the first batter.

[Patzky]

Wonder why Caglianone got pulled.

[MMMordabito]

Nice turn, Lewis.

The "guards" walk all the way down to the bottom of the lower bowl at the end of every top half of an inning.

Just follow them down. Pick an empty seat.

No-hitter alert*

Extra pitches required

[hitterscount]

A give me DP… Royce has a lot of work to do. Those are the kind of plays that force the pitchers into extra pitches, possibly runs that shouldn’t happen…. and they show up as earned. We need a better philosophy on defense.

We're right about there. Error free yesterday and we won.

His 1.8 WHIP is coming down.

[Patzky]

Squeaked out with a zero. Y'all better get some runs for Joe soon.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Twins with more errors than hits today.

Paid $12 to get in Target Field. Watched the first 2 innings in the sun by the boat chairs in RF. Now watching in the shade behind home plate.

They don't have a clue against this guy...

That’s the way to do it!

[Patzky]

Batters starting to swing way out of the zone. Desperation sets in.

Sun's in their eyes 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Just putrid...

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Nice of Royce to induct Morneau into the Hall of Fame...

[Over The Hill Again]

Through 40% of the season and the fact that Bell is not any kind of asset is the least surprising thing to me. Not changing my mind about the defective approach to roster construction. 

[hitterscount]

This guy reminds me a lot of Bradley, good velocity and ball movement…. however not much command of the zone. Helping him out by swinging at some of these pitches is making hitting more difficult than it should be.
