Dick just announced that Corey Kluber left the game in the 2nd inning during his Rangers debut. Yeeps. -
Poor Alex Avila - the only Twin not to bat in the 1st inning, now he's got to face a lefty which is something he almost never does. Interestingly, he faced a lefty in the Twins warm-up game against the Cubs and Morneau was talking about how ridiculous it was because Avila would never face a lefty this season.

Sox hitting the reset button here.

Maeda about to find out that pitching in the AL isn't quite the same as the NL. No breaks, no gimmies. I think that's what's kinda good about the universal DH, we're going to see all those "great" NL pitchers finally get a taste of what it's like to pitch a full season without facing a pitcher. My guess: a lot of those guys' ERAs are going to rise. Makes you really respect what guys like Cole and Bieber (and our Jose Berrios) are out there doing even more.

CHW 10, MIN 3: White Sox Hit 5 Homers Off Twins Bullpen
bighat replied to Nash Walker's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Over reactive post incoming: Already? Injuries (Buxton, Odorizzi) and coddling (Hill) already have the Twins putting together a bullpen game and duct taping a lineup together in the 2nd game of the year. Sending a soft-tossing lefty mop-up guy (Smeltzer) into the teeth of a right-hand heavy power-hitting lineup? For two innings? Huh? Where was Romo? And yes it's too early to panic but EARTH TO JOSH DONALDSON....uh, we're waiting bud -

I mentioned this on the game thread. This is what happens when you have a utility infielder playing in the outfield. Many right fielders would have made that catch and it wouldn't even have been on SportsCenter - not exactly a "routine" play but a catch that I think Kepler makes for sure. -
We Should Be More Worried About Jake Odorizzi
bighat replied to Cody Pirkl's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Great. -
I think Rocco was saving Romo for the 8th in case Smeltzer pitched a scoreless 7th and the Twins were still within striking distance. In hindsight that was a bad move but you can't blame him for trying to squeeze one more inning out of Smeltz. This smelled like a B Squad game from the start and it certainly appears it'll end up like one.
-
Looking forward to Maeda, May, Duffey and Rogers tomorrow.
-
He's also killing the Twins right now! Coincidence?
-
The first HR literally bounced off the top of the wall.
-
It's not "The Bullpen" that's horrible. It's Littell and Smeltzer. They are below-average "B Squad" and "Getaway Day" arms and we're seeing why.
-
Sure would be nice to have an outfielder who might be able to make a play on those 2 HRs to right field. Gonzalez is a 3rd baseman, not an outfielder.
-
Agreed. Not panicking or anything, but he's been unimpressive. That first-pitch GIDP earlier today, if Rosario did that this board would be clamoring for his immediate demotion.
-
There we go Nelson.
-
Time to do something, Donaldson.
-
Enough already.
-
Zack Littel has got to be the most overrated of this team's relievers. He's great when the score is 12-3 but isn't much good otherwise.
