Twins need to be able to turn that.

Sorry for your loss.

Pelfry for CY Young?

Nice job by Mike

Not a great start.

Milldaddys prediction - Twins 4, Indians 2 Player of the game - Brian Dozier, 2-3, 3 Run homerun, and a SB, BB

Robinson has actually impressed me so far. Not sure why Escobar is playing in the outfield....

This guy knows what's up!

"injury" aka free roster spot.

Put me down for the Oakland series if something changes I'll let you know.

Open 2 tabs.

Now Trevor plays for the Royals?

Royals lol. What a joke. You call this baseball

Kurt approves.

Twins gonna win!

TWINS WIN!!!

I'm 1-0....going into the 7th inning.

Looks like I should make the game thread more often.

The setting: Minnesota come's into this game with a record of 1-6, while Kansas City come's into the game with the best record of baseball sitting at 7-0. The line-ups: ROYALS: Escobar (Alcides) SS Moustakas 3B Cain CF Hosmer 1B Morales DH Gordon LF Perez C Infante 2B Dyson RF Volquez P TWINS: Santana SS Hunter RF Mauer 1B Dozier 2B Vargas DH Plouffe 3B Arcia LF Suzuki C Schafer CF Gibson P Can a mod please add these, I will be at church when they are announced! Thanks. (Edit from Chi: yes) 1st pitch Weather: 65 degrees, 0% chance of rain, and winds will be blowing SE at 13 MPH Things to think about: 1.) Kyle Gibson - Gibson has had some up's and downs in the major leagues. After debuting in 2013 the Twins organization and fans knew they had something special in Gibson. 2014 was Kyle's first full year and it went pretty good. Starting 31 games is good for a pitcher no matter who it is. The big problem here is he only threw 180 innings. Yes, he isn't the #1 starter, and nor should he be. However, if the Twins want to be successful we need our pitchers to throw more innings. That has not happened this year, but maybe tonight will be the turning point for Gibson and the Twins. 2.) Defense - You know how the old saying goes. Offense wins games, defense wins championship. Well so far for the Twins, neither has really happened, but lets focus on the defense. Most of us on TD expect the Twins offense to heat up as the weather does, but the defense is another story. We knew that we were not going to be great on this side of the field, but there is no excuse for your left fielder, or shortstop to drop pop-fly's. If I wanted to see that I can always go sit at a little league game for 2 hours of my life. I for one, am not sure who's fault it is. I'm sure the coaching staff has addressed this, and hopefully we will see a turn around in the near future. 3.) Jackie Robinson - Today is the day that all of MLB will wear the number 42. Jackie was one of the most important people in baseball, and sports that we have ever had. I'm glad the MLB recognizes this fact, and resects the man like they do. He also had many other first. Some of those include war veteran, first black sports analysts, and the first black to make the hall of fame. Happy Jackie Robinson day! 4.) Brats - Brats. Just thinking about them makes me hungry. Perhaps one of the most underrated meats at ballparks is the brat. They are defiantly better than hot dogs, and give me a brat over a hamburger every day of the week. I would love to see the brat become more popular across major league baseball, but instead were making things like the donut burger. Share below what your favorite ball park food is, and Go Twins!

How long does he have to stay on the team for?

Maybe Santana was better in Center.

Jeez. Our defense is just so good.

Was that not a foul ball? Isn't your hand part of the bat?

Great showing Duensing.

Well he has 3 steals off AA Catchers so take that however you want too.
