    Yikes! Maybe in a universe where the Dome still stands the Twins are no longer in MN. They moved back to DC instead of the Expos, and now the HHH Metrodome is home to the Minneapolis Millers, the AAA Milwaukee affiliate.

    Putting the ball in play with men on base seems to be a challenge for this team. Twins could have scored in the 1st inning with Kirilloff on 3rd and 1 out, but Buxton struck out. All he needed was a groundout to the middle infield or a fly out. In my opinion the strikeouts in MLB these days make it a hard product to enjoy. And I'm a baseball nut. This is why casual fans have walked away from the game.

    Santana has looked horrific.
  4. bighat
    Kepler's horrible.

    The hit parade is on.

    Great baserunning by Cleveland there. Could Castro have turned 2?

    Let's see how the Guardians do with a man on 3rd with less than 2 outs, hope the Twins have their notepads out....

    Broadcaster said he is one of the top 5 in the league in % of strikeouts that are strike-out-looking.

    TAKE THE BAT OFF YOUR SHOULDER EDDIE

    This changeup from Bibee is fooling all the Twins hitters today.
  11. bighat
    Castro looking horrific so far this year.

    Kepler fooled the organization last year when he got hot for 3 weeks, unfortunately that seemed to have earned him a job for 2024. Sad.

    Guy on 3rd, 1 out, Buxton K's and Kepler hits a weak grounder. Same old Twins. They need Royce Lewis in that lineup. Without him, this is a .500 team.

    When we call a 1-run 7th inning a "rally", you know we're starving for some offense. Jake Junis is about as hittable of a pitcher as there is in the majors. To get just 3 hits against this team is inexcusable. Even in the games where they scored 5 and 4 runs against KC, most came on ducksnorts and dribblers late in the game. Royce still has the only HR? Last year it took until August for the bats to wake up. We don't have Sonny Gray to keep us competitive while we wait. Santana, Julien, Jeffers, Kirilloff and Castro are going to be in the lineup daily. We need some of these guys to hit.

    Twins now 3-for-24 today (.125) after going 4-for-31 (.129) on Sunday. This team was fun to watch at the end of last year, but it's hard to forget how bone-chillingly cold they can get. For weeks at a time. Santana looks washed up, Wallner overmatched, and Castro has had a horrific start to the year. A lot of easy outs right now.
  16. bighat
    Wallner now 1-for-7 with 5ks this year after a bad spring.

    So the team's best player will miss 1/3 of the season after getting injured in the first game of the year? Yeowch. Where's the silver lining again?
  18. bighat
    "A few weeks" is still brutal, to be honest. That means he's missing a month of the season - the guy's the best player on the team. Hard to find a silver lining on this injury, from my point of view.

    Good question. I think it was clearly the first time Royce was running at full speed, going all out on the bases. During Spring Training they jog and run pretty slowly so they don't get hurt....which, ironically, means they're more likely to get hurt during the opening week of the season! I remember when Buxton got that injury sliding into 2nd base in Boston a couple years ago early in the season, I was thinking how he probably didn't practice much full-speed sliding in Spring Training and this is why he was hurt. Maybe the Twins need to push their guys harder working out in Feb and early March?

    It was 72 degrees in KC yesterday.
  21. bighat
    Oh crap - "Right quad injury" for Royce Lewis. That's not good.
  22. bighat
    Oh no, that's a hammy.
  23. bighat
    Great D by Correa there.
  24. bighat
    4 straight K's for the Twins. Love me some opening day, hard to watch an entire inning+ where the team doesn't even put the ball in play. Hope baseball continues to explore ways to fix this league-wide problem.
  25. bighat
    Ooof, Pablo. Really?
