Twins aren’t ready for national media attention/tv.

Guess the playoff are off the menu

[Western SD Fan]

I hope that was other starters wanting to get work in. Don't need a relief pitcher in the 1st.

Field of Dreams? Turning into Field of Nightmares!

Brought back memories of my Cooperstown visit..if you have not been. GO.  The small town and HOF is awesome. I have been to football..Basketball also.  Baseball one is best by far in my opinion.

Yes!  Definitely worth the trip.  

[Aggies7]

They’re going to be using an opener for Taj before the season ends.

[Patzky]

Thank goodness

As expected, Schwarber with a leadoff HR. If Taj can calm down and through the inning, it will be fine.

If Taj can calm down -  tough start  Twins gonna need there hitting shoes on also

[wesnewy]

that was painful. 30 pitch 1st for taj

0-2 is our middle name.

They really seem to have a thing for it...

[Church of Kreidler]

Alright, not a great start - but, we haven't lost every game that there's been an 0-2 lead in the first... right?

[Patzky]

We are extremely fortunate not to be down 5-0

[Craig Arko]

Time to return the favor.

Maybe he can throw live BP in the tunnel 20 minutes before the game 

[PseudoSABR]

I'm sure this will end up elsewhere on the site, if not already in this thread.  But this guy.  "Loyalty." "Remembering who was there for you." Love this guy is a Twin.

Only one inning. Just a junior sample.

[S Bart]

Okay, butter up..let's go Bucky

[thelanges5]

We’ve allowed our opponents to score in the first inning in 10 out of the last 13 games.

Whoops...meant trevor

These hurlers do better when the adrenaline edge is gone and they aren't throwing 99+. If all he can do is 96 maybe he'll control better.

Not every one, but let me tell you the story of a blind squirrel.

To much national media attention 😬😬😬👎👎👎not good!!! 

Relax--1st  inning

[PseudoSABR]

Too bad Joe Ryan couldn't have pitched this game.  This is a lot for Taj, the spotlight and his transition to success in a new org., despite underachieving for more than a minute.

[wesnewy]

good looks Trev!

We answered the Orioles immediately yesterday each time. It was key.

Anyone else just put a fresh 1/4 pound of better out with a pot of corn and just roll it in the butter?

⁷my mom taught me to put the butter on a piece of bread and roll the corn on it

Nice touch having the kids out there working the manual scoreboard. Now let's make them put a crooked number up there for us!
