Someone needs to tell Paul Molitor that any of our AAA relievers would be better against major league pitching than most of our starting rotation the third time through the order. THIS IS A REAL THING, PAUL!!!!
What should be done: Park to AAA, Sano to DH, Kepler to RF, Arcia to Waivers, Polanco to the Big League club What will be done: nothing until at least Sunday.
That first strike to Rosario was rediculous. I can think of three of those (or better) that didn't get called for Twins pitchers I want to see the FoxTracks on that one.
Agreed. I guess MAYBE you could say the first hit should have been a single instead of a double, but the 2nd hit would have gotten him the 3rd anyway. If Buxton was in RF he MIGHT have gotten to that Jones double. It hit off the middle of the wall in the deepest part of the park
Well, they should stop. Statistically speaking, the odds of good weather on April 4th is almost the same as on April 11th. 1 year out of 20 maybe. Not nearly enough to justify passing up the allure of OPENING DAY vs "opening day"
For the 6th time in 7 years, MLB starts the Twins on the road. Funny... Detroit never has had a problem getting opening day games at home, and their average high temperature, in early April, is 2 degrees COLDER than Minneapolis.
