Is that horsie just.... going around in a circle....?  

 

Getting.... dizzy........

 

Well... more dizzy..... than usual...........................

[BoofBonser]

I hope it doesn't become a new routine to spot a team 2 runs to start every game

[Danchat]

Isn't this like the 5th straight game where the other team has scored in the first inning?

[Jax]

There has been some talk about perhaps the balls being juiced this year. They do appear to be flying more...

I REALLY don't wanna know.................

[Aggies7]

This is ridiculous.

[wsnydes]

Getting worse...

[mikecgrimes]

Don't worry as long as the Twins get 31 hits they should be fine

[BoofBonser]

This Mariners lineup is honestly the scariest in the AL, maybe MLB

[Jerr]

 

Getting worse...

Easy................lots to go...................

[wsnydes]

Rate of sucking decreasing...

[mikecgrimes]

I'd like to see a game where both teams score 20 runs in the first 9 innings then both teams get shut out the next 9.

[Jax]

This is ridiculous.

They just got a safety on us, we'll get our 3 TDs.

[wsnydes]

Easy................lots to go...................

That's what I'm afraid of.

I meant for the GOOD guys............................

This is the last series against Seattle I hope?

Not if they cut off beer in the 7th inning.

Twins batters need to pound this 27-year old rookie. I took a look at his b-r.com minor league page, and nothing about him says he should even be in the majors, much less sporting a gaudy ERA even in Small Sample Size. He's given up 14 runs in his 29 innings, but 5 were unearned, which seems like a lot. His Fielding Independent Pitching number is 5.42, more in line with his 4'ish minor league ERAs over the years. We should pound him, I tell you.

 

Which means, of course, our boys will make him look like Cy Young tonight.

I think the reason the Twins pounded Seattle was due to Sano being out of the lineup. I think everyone realized they were sort of sitting around waiting for Sano to take care of business.

 

Now that everyone realizes they must do more, the Twins will pound this guy and chase him by the 7th inning. Maybe the 8th.

             needed more!

[David HK]

Welp, Erv wriggled out of that one, getting those last 3 Mareeners.  

 

I just typed that observation so I could follow up on an earlier suggestion to call that team "The Mareeners."  

[Jax]

Damn Sano missed a hanger there.

[mikecgrimes]

Nothing worse then wasting slow bouncers on a great defensive third baseman

[mikecgrimes]

So often those end up thrown into the right field corner for a 2 base error.

[Jerr]

 

             needed more!

Santana just getting loose, as will hopefully the Twins bats!!!!!!

[Jerr]

We do still do 9 +  innings.....correct.......? 

Until a WINNER!!!!

[David HK]

Gee, that Gameday feature is kind of nice with their descriptions.

 

"Dozier grounds out softly..."

 

Now I've got Debussy in my head. 

 

Ahhhhhhhh.........  

 

2 first-inning runs- again?   Who cares.............

[wsnydes]

This was not the start I was looking for.

 

Santana is working harder than I had hoped.

[Aggies7]

Gamel is now 8-22 va the twins, but somehow it seems much much worse than that.
