    Obviously, this absurd pitching is not sustainable. But it does set a great tone for the season for a team that hasn't exactly been stellar in the pitching department. Also worth noting that the Twins have not yet made an error three games into the season. Another great tone-setter...

    Regarding bullpen use: teams go into each game with a blueprint for how they are going to manage their relievers that day. Among other things, the plan is dictated by recent usage / availability of the relievers, the opponent's lineup, the opponent's bench options, and recent usage thereof. Now, there are things that can affect the plan like injuries, extra-innings, etc. This allows the relievers to be prepared to the extent possible that they may be pitching each day. Many of the bullpen decisions managers make in-game are actually pre-determined, or at least thought-out, well before each situation arises within the course of a game. There are definitely some, but probably not quite as many ‘spur-of-the-moment’ decisions made in-game as we may sometimes think.

    Twins got great pitching yesterday. Give up 5 hits over 11 innings, and you're gonna win a lot more of those than you'll lose. I am far from worried about the Twins scoring runs this season, and it will be quite a while before I even give that a second thought.

    Mauer squared to bunt in the 10th, Cheech Rosario just squared up in the 11th. Stop the insanity.

    This LaMarre fella is way too pretty to be a ballplayer.

    Okay, can we put up, like, about a 6-spot here and open this thing up?

    Any reason why Rodney didn't cover second base there? Was he backing up a different base? Yuck.

    Commence the 'Fernando Rodney Experience, Minnesota Style' era. Buckle up.

    Simple math? Speak for yourself, pal.

    Oh, man. My heart goes out to Marney for having to film that Pizza Ranch spot.

    So, soon as the count to Grossman goes to 2-1, the beloved Fox Sports Go app I praised earlier bombs out on me, causing to miss all the excitement. That's just gross, man.

    Now Dick has Crush Davis losing a ground ball, in the lights, on a sunny day, at approximately 5:35 ET. Holy moly.

    Merely listening to Gladden will significantly affect one's baseball IQ in a very negative way.

    Given the lack of offense to this point, I'm willing to give the fans a pass here.

    Ugh. Hanging curveball. Knew it as soon as it left my fingertips.

    I can't tell if some of these posts are legit feelings, or sarcasm, or something else.

    What kind of a fool bunts with runners on 1st & 2nd, 1 out, in tie game 7th inning?

    Shout-out to Craig Gentry for going with Hendrix' version of "All Along the Watchtower" for his walk-up jam.
