I have a far bigger question on letting Rosario bat than Santana. 

Settle down Mr. The Stick, settle down...

I wonder if Dozier runs into Escobar at the end of that play, if there was a chance for an obstruction call.

worse plate discipline on the team facing the best reliever in baseball over the last three years.

There isn't a more proficient team at stranding runners in scoring position with no outs.

 

I guess that's what Molitor gets for batting Danny Santana in the two-hole.

 

On the bright-side, finally something you can't really blame TR for.

 

PAUL!

LOL, Dick.  "I wonder with a new runner on second base if they changed their signs."

 

It would seem to me, Dick, that with a NEW runner on second base, who hasn't been standing there observing, that the need to change signs, if there was one, would be gone.

We picked up our K pace, for those keeping score at home.

this is getting old quickly.  I know, it's only 4 games.  How many games until it matters, again?

14 K's! We're gettin worse!

I'm really getting sick of watching Arcia sit on the bench while the teams scores 2, 2, 2, 3.

Hope that changes now.

Ok, AJ Pierzinski.

Awful at bat. Literally anyone else would have been a better option. Terrible team right now.

 

Did we win yet?

Not yet.

Swings at the balls, and watches the strikes.

 

Rosario is a lost cause at the plate.

like I said earlier, 'worse plate discipline on the team facing the best reliever in baseball over the last three years.'

Here's a shovel for the nice big hole the twins are digging for themselves.

...

 

 

I can't tell. Is that better or worse than getting old slowly?

 

Anyway, thanks all for the company.

no worries, 20 or so wins in May again will cure all ;-)

Remember, the games in April don't mean as much as the games in September.

 

Or is it "It's a long season and it's only 4 games and no team is going to win them all."

 

On the up side, Twins pitching is holding the opposing team to 4 runs. Definitely an improvement over the start of last year.

 

The down side? Opposing pitching is keeping the Twins under 4 runs.

I wouldn't complain of 20 wins in April either...

Yep, we haven't lost in a laugher quite yet!

Not sure what some of these guys are using as their approach when they go to the plate but it's pretty f-ing terrible.  Bruno needs to sit a few of these guys down (Bux, Sano especially) and drill into them what a strike looks like and to swing at it and what a strike doesn't look like and to not swing at it.  Yeah, easy to say when you're sitting on a leather couch but these first 4 games have been a comical, pathetic effort.

g'night all.

 

I'll have better jokes next time, I promise.  I'm off to an 0-4 start.

At this point, I'll be happy with 20 wins TOTAL for the season.

 

I wonder if Dozier runs into Escobar at the end of that play, if there was a chance for an obstruction call.

 

The throw back to Escobar for the tag beat Dozier by a step but if he could have run full-bore into Escobar before the throw got there, yeah, he definitely could have gotten an obstruction call.  Whether or not the umpires would have seen it that way is a different story, though.

Get rid of Jepsen ASAP.

It's not too late. But the Twins should get started soon.

This line of reasoning doesn't necessarily bode well...

 

Just remember, who laughs last, laughs best...

 

Maybe i can come up with a joke or tutu. Er, i mean two too.
