Simple Problem, apparently not easy to fix

I'm more excited that they won't go 0-10 today -

When other teams get runners on, many pitchers tend to start nibbling at the corners to avoid leaving a big hit out over the plate. Obviously nibbling leads to more balls, which leads to more base runners. So if the other team knows that the Twins won't swing at the first pitch, the Twins are putting themselves at a huge disadvantage. No need to nibble. In the long run, the Twins won't be seeing more pitches, they'll just be taking more called strikes. -
Kirilloff batted 2nd.

Ha go figure, Clase was the only Guardian not to strike out a batter. Looooooser!!!!
-
Well when was the last time Jeffers came through in the clutch?
-
Yeah, lots to complain about this year, but the bullpen isn't one of them.
-
You watching a rerun from last year?
-
I guess if it's working for him...........
-
Is Barlow really throwing 90 MPH meatballs?
-
OOOOH Gladden's already pushing for the 'Martin as pinch runner' card!!!!!!!
-
Bump.
-
Yeah, he Guardado'd himself through that inning.
-
Buxton has been one of this team's best hitters this year. Bad day today, but his strikeout rate was 19% before today. Funny how everyone else gets criticized for NOT swinging at enough pitches and Buxton here is getting criticized for taking cuts. Overreaction. There are other players to lay this load on.
-
Two innings from Funderburk. No hits and only 2 walks? Seemed like it was four times that number of baserunners he was responsible for. I suppose that wasn't too bad of an outing. Defense blew the run when he was on the mound.
-
OK, just three more of those please.
-
Maybe Bremer could replace Gladden.
-
You're a fast learner then because we all know you were born yesterday.
-
Oh boy, the radio booth is getting testy. Gladden: Telling a story about airplanes Atterbery: Interrupts with a question Gladden: Can I finish? Awkward pause.
-
I'm saving all of mine to send at once; wrote up Jeffers' yesterday. Still waiting on Santana, Castro, Kepler, Margot, Wallner, Vazquez and Farmer.
-
If we were rational, we'd probably be at the library or a museum or something more constructive than watching this stupid game. I'm good with irrational.
-
It's early, Cleveland only had three useful hitters last year and it's mostly the same group. Note, this observation has nothing to do with the Twins ineptness, I'm just not jealous of the Cleveland bats.
-
No kidding, the rules say you can only use Martin to pinch run once.
-
All part of the plan, gives the bullpen more time to warm up.
-
How dare he, the Twins gave his charity a whole $5,000!
-
This team hasn't scored a run before the 4th inning since Lewis went down.
