April 23, 20188 yr Not actually opposed to the bunt there. Beat the shift or it won't go away. A bit harder and it's a hitOr just try and hit a double...that would be nice.
April 23, 20188 yr Seriously? I leave to throw some nachos in the oven and I come back to a 3-0 deficit?!
April 23, 20188 yr I'm sorry guys, but there's just something about this team that I don't like... The at-bats are really predictable this year and they're usually not goodThe starting pitching has really fallen off lately after that brilliant series against Baltimore, and the bullpen has really only two solid pieces in it right now (and one of them gave up a walk-off homerun yesterday)One guy the Twins are really missing right now is Jorge Polanco... his at-bats look very professional and he doesn't go down easily such as Sano, Rosario, Morrison, and CastroWish we had some minor league talent to put pressure on these guys but we really don't
April 23, 20188 yr 28 pitches and not even out of inning 1. And this is one of our good starters. That's what happens when you nibble nibble nibble instead of going right at guys. And you can't nibble against the Yankees because they are computer-programmed to not swing at anything outside the strike zone. He gets 2 quick strikes on Stanton and then it's try and get him to chase and he failed. With the exception of Berrios, this is a bad disease that is going through the pitching staff. Hitters are too good nowadays to swing at bad balls.
April 23, 20188 yr That Aaron Hicks had a real nice at bat even if the ump blew a call. He isn't hitting near .300 with an OBP over .400 by accident. I wonder how they acquired such a player.
April 23, 20188 yr Yep, bunting when you’re facing a lineup like this.Bunting on your first at bat at Yankee Stadium. If he wants to beat the shift how about aiming for the right field foul pole?

April 23, 20188 yr Bad start. Like many of you, I'm not feeling too good about this lineup. Pitchers or hitters. Not much to like right now.
April 23, 20188 yr I don't fault the Twins for trading Hicks. He was dreadful for usI don't fault the twins for trading Hicks either. They dealt from a position of depth for a position of need.
April 23, 20188 yr Morrison might as well not bring his bat to the plate this series. He's one of the worst batters in the league versus fastballs and the Yanks have the heat to scorch him.
April 23, 20188 yr I don't fault the twins for trading Hicks either. They dealt from a position of depth for a position of need.Yeah except the whole value in return part
April 23, 20188 yr Nice rip, Kepler. Kepler hits a line drive double to right, just like he did in the 1st inning of the wild card game to give the Twins runners on second and third with one out, already leading 3-0. Too soon?
April 23, 20188 yr Author nope, Waffle Corner. He's actually 1 of 7 catchers on the D-Backs 25 man roster.
April 23, 20188 yr Is he calling tonight's game?(Leastwise if i'm not watching it?)ESPN is calling the game, from what I can tell. Uggh.

April 23, 20188 yr ESPN is calling the game, from what I can tell. Uggh.I WISH I could get the ESPN broadcast. The YES boys spent the last half inning rehasing gregorious’ homer in the WC game last year, rating it the “loudest new yankee stadium has ever been”
April 23, 20188 yr He's actually 1 of 7 catchers on the D-Backs 25 man roster. I hope they like waffles!
April 23, 20188 yr Seriously? I leave to throw some nachos in the oven and I come back to a 3-0 deficit?!Gentlemen and Ladies, we have blamecast winner, right here!
April 23, 20188 yr So I just tune in and it's 3-0 bad guys in the middle of the second? Can't people on this thread be trusted to do any better than that? Edit: 4-0.
April 23, 20188 yr Morrison just doesn't seem like a good fit on this team for some reason. I've said it a dozen times already, but it reminds me of the Kendrys Morales experiment. The guy was great before he got to the Twins, and went on to succeed after he left the Twins. But in a Twins uniform, Morales was awful and it feels like Morrison is cut from the same jib.
April 23, 20188 yr Author Jeez... We need the Yanks to slow down a little so we can catch up. If they stop scoring for the next 28 Innings... We might do it.
