    Lighten up. It was the kid's first major league inning. He was working against nerves, bad weather, and a good team. He didn't give up a hit. A bit of support from teammates can go a long way in a situation like this.

    Winder: Thank you Mr. umpire!

    Just out of curiosity I looked up when the first Toyota Jan commercial was produced: 2012. Laurel Coppock, the actress who plays her, certainly found a gravy train with that gig.

    The current radar looks like there is a good chance of getting in at least 4.5 innings. Play ball!

    Saves don't matter if your team hits 486 home runs.

    I hope for the best but would not be surprised by the worst. There are limitations to what human bodies are capable of doing and elite athletes have a tendency to push beyond the limitations.

    This season has a weird start to it with short spring training. We've got 10 relief pitchers on the active roster. It's almost a question of why not to use 4 relievers in a game at this point.

    It's the first game of the year, spring training was shortened, we have expanded rosters, Bundy has a history of falling apart on the third time through the lineup, we don't have a large lead. Need I go on?

    OK boys, keep the line moving!

    Today is the 68th anniversary of the least interesting day in history. Google will tell you more. However, the apparent fact that it is the least interesting day in history makes it interesting`.

    Not there he didn't.

    To echo what someone else in my house just said: "What did they do that for?"

    Still on track!

    To anyone who has a birthday today I extend my sincere best wishes for a happy day.

    It's just continuing the trend that has been in place for 23 seasons now

    With this lineup this game could be the blueprint for a lot of games this season. Score a lot of runs with power, enough to provide a cushion for our pitching staff.

    I've been 39 for many years.

    Damn! That is easily over the wall on an 80 degree evening.

    Best possible leadoff hitter when down 1 in bottom 9.

    I'd use a different song for every AB. The PA people would hate me.

    This is maybe one of the more recognizable sound blasts in regular rotation at Target Field but it's unfortunately only average in the level of obnoxiousness. Next time you attend a game there I challenge you to actively pay attention to how loud and frequent and unrelenting the blasts of sound are. It will be illuminating, but a caveat: it could potentially forever ruin the ballpark experience for you. I realized I had learned to tune it out when I attended a game in 2019 with a friend of mine who commented thusly: "I wonder what they would do if they had epilepsy awareness night at a Twins game." Now I can't not notice it. It's such a shame that I can't go to see my favorite team playing my favorite sport in a beautiful stadium without being assaulted by the PA system.

    The problem is that the Twins organization itself is the one and only source of the overstimulation that this space seeks to shut out. IMHO, among other things the organization would do well to stop the loud and pounding music over the PA system after every pitch. (When I say after every pitch it's a slight overstatement. When I say loud and pounding it's a slight understatement.)

    I was away from the internet all day (as is usually the case) so I just heard about this 15 minutes ago. I don't know anything about the players we acquired. I know that Rooker was totally expendable (decent RH bat but barely tolerable fielding ability which means he's a DH and occasional left fielder) and I know that Rogers is totally filthy when healthy and on his game. All I can do is place my trust in Falvine and hope that the transactions they make improve the organization.

    Agree on all.
