Dang mound visits slowing the game down

 

OK...somebody 'splain to me what Zach Duke is doing facing Altuve and Correa??

 

 

You don't sweat platoon splits when you've got The Duke on the mound.

Getting them out apparently. 

 

I think the best thing to do for now is move Sano down a few spots in the lineup and put someone like Kepler in the 3 hole.  Or anyone who can make contact with the ball, really.

 

I mentioned this a week ago but Sano was in the middle of a remarkable (and unsustainable) tear of big hits, so the idea fell flat. After some predictable BABIP regression we're really feeling the pain of all those K's in a critical lineup spot. I personally like the idea of Kepler hitting in front of Sano.

I had to mute it. If you go to a baseball game and scream "woo" over and over, do us all a favor and kill yourself.

Not sure if this has been addressed yet...but are Twins fans doing this "wooo" thing that's currently ruining baseball in cities like Pittsburgh?

Guess we're on the same wavelength here.

Very nice inning by the Duke

Well, Duke didn't look like the right tool for the job, but apparently Molitor's managerial mojo is working tonight.

 

Yeah, now you've lost most of us.

 

The nerds who put together the periodic table didn't leave me much to work with. No wonder people hate chemistry.

Reed has strep throat, according to the broadcast

Reed has strep? Tough break. Reminds me of when I caught mono in 11th grade from kissing the village bicycle

Are we there yet?

Garver has only impressed me

Man we need like eleventy billion runs for me to feel safe with Fernando on the mound

While Sano's big hits were "unsustainable", can we also agree that his record-setting strikeout pace is also unsustainable? I'm just as upset as the next guy, but he's got to get better...right?

All them swings and misses.  Finally gave him a cold

That is an inside the parker if that is dropped. Great catch.

Amazing robbery by Springer there! Dang.

I know. I only got to second base and ended up missing the first month of baseball season. Story of my life

You should have followed safe biking and worn a helmet to protect from bicycling transmitted diseases.

Bummer about the Buxton AB

 

those will fall at some point

At that age I was just happy to have a bike

Joe looks great early in the season. Fantastic for the twins

Wow, 4 walks for Dozier.

Rack another hit up on that "Mauer Meter"!
