Welcome one and all to the inaugural Twins Daily Game Thread live broadcast!

 

We're closing in on one hour to first pitch. I'll be keeping things brief in the intro this afternoon. Don't let that discourage you from checking in closer to game time, when you'll find a link at the bottom of this introduction that will bring you into the live broadcast. 

 

So, grab yourself a tasty beverage and find a comfortable seat, turn up those speakers and enjoy the game. 

 

A brief note: the site which hosts today's audio will offer a built in discussion board. Please ignore that and keep your discussion within the friendly confines of the Game Thread.

The weather might be outstanding but you can't say that about these lineups

Oh pfft with the lineups ... I can't wait for Dinger live! Any shelter in a storm, as they say!

 

I'll be at work, so I especially will enjoy the game and thread.

Protecting Sano with Joe Mauer? That's got to stop. Same with Grossman as DH. With power bats like Vargas and Park available, it's time to get some pop in the order.

twins protecting that buxton two-game hitting streak. probably a good idea ...

Someone please verify the link.

Well, hopefully, I'll get the yard work done so I can listen. It should be a hoot. PMD, I mean.

 

My expectations for today are:

Okay, link worked and had some weird strange music. Which, I assume, means it's the right web page.

Is that a new site? Interesting...

Make sure you know when the mike's live. You don't wanna Bert it up and have to "do that blankety blank all over again."

Kind of a lazy play by Kepler there. 

The red uniforms!

 

Where are you, my red-uniform-loving brethren?

With the delay... Maybe I can feed Dinger some lines 

 

I know how delays work... i'm joking. 

Santana just contributed to the overall team. 

 

Nice Throw

Danny San (THE GOAT)

Danny Santana - "Great athlete"

And Gibson got a strikeout. WHAT IS HAPPENING!?

DanSan fires a strike to the plate!

 

 

*not sarcasm

Right now Molitor is using the bullpen phone to call upstairs to get Derek and Thad to give DanSan a Trout-like extension ... can't risk that arm walking away.

Dozier!

I wonder if Sano feels like making a statement to the Tigers. 

Slutter? Really Torii?

well, the Torii announcing era was short and sweet....

Woohoo ... live ... okay ... did I miss Dinger's cats?

I'll take an RBI single.

I should have the Spanish broadcast going on in the background and pretend Dinger is translating

Slutter? Really Torii?

that's similar to the "prick" pitch that a pitcher named Berardino used to throw a couple years ago

Way to move up the runner, Kep. Better than standing there and taking multiple fastball strikes. Sano - stayed back on that nicely. 1-0.
