Garver's hit could have easily been called an error - Twins have essentially been no-hit thru 5 innings by a soft-tossing lefty. Welcome to 2020, Zack Littell. -
Gonna have to hit it out of the park to get past Robert in CF apparently.
-
Pretty demoralizing seeing Twins batters get into 0-1 or 1-2 holes thanks to the ump calling that 73 MPH dirtball a strike all game.
-
Dobnak seems to be fatigued.
-
Extremely disturbing lack of patience there from Donaldson.
-
Awful strike 1 call on Garver there. Terrible.
-
Yep. Yesterday I remember Demonico fouled out and you could hear him say F#%&CK!!! so loud I think he woke up half the South Side. I also recall hearing Anderson a lot yesterday on defense "I GOT IT I GOT IT".
-
Adrianza had the only well-hit ball so far today against Keuchel. Hit it to the wrong place though. Not a great first trip through the order, gotta get this guy to throw more pitches.
-
Two great defensive plays from Polanco in the first 2 innings, showcasing range and a strong arm.
-
Bulldog performance for Dobnak there against Delmonico.
-
The way the ball's coming off the Twins' bats today, you'd think Keuchel was bowling. Really dead sounding off the bat.

I don't mind the cutouts. In fact, I kinda like them better than the empty seats, just from a TV perspective. I think if I were a pitcher it would bother me. For example, if one of the pictures was getting under your skin, it's just gonna stay there and look at you with those empty eyes the whole game.... No Buxton again, disappointing. I saw a quote a few days ago where he said he was "feeling more confident", which you can translate to mean: He'll be back in 1.5 weeks. The Twins are so careful with this guy, if they keep winning they might not put him in until mid August. Disappointed to see Arraez on the bench but there is a lefty on the mound. And Adrianza, despite being the team's ultimate "B Squad" player, has often dazzled in these situations. Would like to see a couple big hits from Donaldson/Sano today. Get off the schnide.

Few takeaways: 1. Polanco and Arraez are not part of the Big Bopper crew but they may very well be the keys to the offense this season. Great to see them both with 2 hits and multiple RBI. 2. Kepler set the tone and showed the Twins offense "we're ready". You see teams like the Braves, Brewers, Rockies, Royals, Colorado all getting shut out on opening day. That's going to plant seeds of doubt. Kepler set the tone, the Twins followed and scored 10. 3. The White Sox aren't a joke anymore. Their lineup reminds me of the Twins, frankly. Anderson, Moncada, Abreau, Encarnacion, Jiminez, Robert....wow. Not much breathing room until you get to the 8th batter. They don't have the depth of the Twins, the pitching is a question mark, but they are going to be good. I would HATE to run into those guys in the 1st round of these expanded playoffs. They look like they could beat anyone on any day.

This Robert kid is good.
-
Awful strike 3 call on Sano there. Still, three strikeouts...it's one of "those" games for the big fella. Let's hope he doesn't let it affect him mentally.
-
That White Sox 2nd baseman is having a helluva time out there. Not really his fault (except for that play in the 1st), but he's gotta be thinking "please don't hit the ball to me".
-
ROSIE! Mr. CLUTCH!
-
We could use a little luck, put the ball in play and good things happen. Let's tack on here boys.
-
Bad start for Clippard.
-
Attaboy May, let's see some more zeros 'pen.
-
Awful strike 1 call on Sano there, for what its worth.
-
I'd feel better if Dobnak started the next inning to be honest.
-
New 3-batter rule, they can't bring in a lefty to face Rosario here.
-
Jorge doing what Jorge does! Welcome to the 3-hole Polanco, you deserve to be there.
-
Way to chase Giolito. Let's go Jorge!
