    LaTroy has a pretty good idea of what's coming from these pitchers!

    Ump not helping Perez eh?

    Schoop has looked awful recently. Only hitless Twin last night (0-5) and is just waving at those outside pitches, completely undiciplined right now and off the rails. Can't wait to see if Perez gets it done tonight!

    Let's get this game started already....

    Definitely the most "B" lineup the Twins can possibly cobble together. Already without Cruz, the Twins voluntarily bench Rosario as well. Me no like. All that said....Adrianza's batting .333 in his last 20 plate appearances with a HR, 5 walks and just 2 strikeouts. He's not a sure out and never really has been. Definitely a downgrade but not bloody awful. Give the guy a chance, he might just be the pick to click tonight.

    Likely a quick look-see at this kid. They're not DFA'ing Adrianza. This is just going to be a quick look at this kid. Odd move because he hits lefthanded and the Twins will be going against lefties for the next 3 days. Might be here for 2 series, play sparingly, then go back down. Nothing wrong with the move, but I don't expect to see him play much. Maybe start one game if that, put him in if there's a blowout.

    Buxton with a HR, Sano with 2 doubles and an RBI. Twins score 11 runs and win the game. Safe to say many a Twins fan spent all winter dreaming about that scenario! Sano did not look rusty. He did not look frustrated. He looked confident, calm, and ready to play a major role in this offense. Wow...

    Cruz had a sore wrist. He'll likely be back in the lineup today or tomorrow - Twins were just giving him some extra rest. He can play outfield and not drop routine fly balls if needed. Garver's out until June 1 at least. Unfortunate.

    Attaboy Kep.
  10. bighat
    No kidding. I'm absolutely floored with his production so far.

    Listening to LaTroy Hawkins calling Dick "Richard" is somewhat entertaining.

    The twitter feed of the game, couple of reports said that Ryne Harper is warming up in the bullpen, speculation was that perhaps Pineda is hurt... The Twins have a reliever Ryne Harper up and throwing in the bullpen. Perhaps Pineda is dealing with an injury. Looks like he's back, but both Phil Miller and the MLB.com reporter mentioned Pineda could be hurting...

    Way to make contact, Sano. Nice to see him get the bat on the ball. Keep the strikeouts down and good things will happen.
  14. bighat
    Wow, Schoop batting 3rd. Cruz still out...c'mon man. Sano batting 7th, whee!

    Max Kepler is batting .230 - he batted .220 last year, 4th worst among AL regulars. Sure, he's a guy you want in the lineup...but not batting leadoff. Buxton surely isn't a better hitter than Polanco or Cruz, but he's an improvement to Kepler. In the end though, the Twins are 10 games above .500 and we should be pretty pleased that we've got Buxton playing a big part in this, regardless of where he hits.

    Reports say Austin Adams will be getting the call from Rochester. 32 year-old veteran who last pitched in the majors for Cleveland back in 2016. Career MLB stats: 2-0 with a 6.29 ERA in 50 IP.

    I'm not a fan of allowing inherited runners to score, but that's gonna happen for every reliever. Think about coming into a bases-loaded no-out situation. If a reliever allows 1 run to score there, he did his job. Heck, the guy might induce three fly outs and allow 2 runners to score in that situation and you can't beat him up for it. So while I think it's important to look at that statistic, you really have to look at it on a case-by-case basis.

    The Twins are the heavy favorite to win the division already.

    I respect the heck out of Sid Hartman, he'll be a legend for a long time and should get his own statue on Nicolett Mall. That said....I dunno, man. Kinda hard watching him struggle to even get a question out there. I know, I know, I'm sorry. Speaking of struggling. Happy trails, Hildy. This Buxton guy might be finally living up to his potential. I'd love to see him getting more ABs but then again maybe the Twins are paranoid about anything that might seem like a "push". I'll take his .280 and league-leading doubles any day. Nice HR today too, he might hit 15-20 this year.

    Wow. Unreal in a good way this time. Waaayyy too heart-stopping for a Wednesday afternoon. Jeepers creepers.
  21. bighat
    Nobody warming up. No mound visits left either. I have a feeling they're going to just throw fastballs down the middle to Ohtani and hope he misses 'em.
  22. bighat
    Oh my goodness. This is a complete meltdown of epic proportions. And it's not even over yet.
  23. bighat
    Trout up with the bases jacked. Whole kittn' kaboodle on the line. No bases open and any base hit likely ties it.
  24. bighat
    Oh God it's Tommy "Twin Killer" La Bomba at the plate here. Not sure if I can watch.
  25. bighat
    This is getting scary. We just want our chicken dinner please.
