Whelp. Not a good start for our Twins. World Cup final just about to begin…

Twins way more important then World Cup final-most if not all don’t care except for half time show

Pretty good with any count since Friday.

[Patzky]

Jeez ump, wake up

[HarmonK03]

Don't worry we have Vic in the game, he will carry us to victory.  He has been reverting back to his true self in July, there is no need to force him into the lineup.

[wesnewy]

Jeffers is so good with the ABS

[Patzky]

Might need a six spot here to get back in the game.

Jeffers challenges about the only thing going well for the Twins so far today.

Must see tv. While he's here.

[Patzky]

The foul line hit! We have discovered it too!

[Western SD Fan]

Zebby is from another era in Twins pitching:  the Rick Anderson days when he stressed pitching to contact.  That philosophy only worked if you had a great defense behind you.  The Twins did back then.  They do not now (although it has improved lately). There will be balls put into play that our defense will not be able to get to.  This is likely the normal for Zebby.  Giving up 2-4 runs and getting through 6 innings.  If the offense does its job, that should lead to more wins than losses.

[Patzky]

Jeez Culpeper time soon please..

[HarmonK03]

Way to go Kreidler, one pitch, double play.

[wesnewy]

How many double plays have we hit into this series?

Could not even let Lee get picked off, took all of one pitch to erase hope 

[Vanimal46]

The Cubs’ defense…

[Patzky]

I don't see many runs happening today.

[thelanges5]

Imanaga is cruising. Sigh

Culpepper can't get healthy soon enough.  Of course, they will probably play him at 2B and 3B as well so Kreidler can get AB's.

I can't listen to Span anymore. 

Of all the announcers I have listened to in my 60 years of baseball he annoys me the most. Just. too. deliberate. and. slow. with . his. speech.

Good luck Twins.

For me, it sounds like he’s trying to talk deeper than his natural voice. Maybe he is. Maybe he isn’t. But that’s what his voice sounds like to me.

The deliberateness you mention probably also plays a part.

He must of signed CHEAP-  Why else is he here ?

This was my argument yesterday about going full ABS without a 3D plate.  I believe Jeffers wins that challenge if the ABS system was 3D.  That ball looked like it caught the front corner of the plate.  Because of where ABS is measured, it was called a ball.
