The Twins are probably going to need at least 9 runs to win this one.

Lance Lynn looking more and more like a bust every time I see him.

If we put a prime Walter Johnson in uniform, would it even matter?

At least we'll still have two hours of sunlight by the time I give up on this team tonight.

Double that.

Apparently the answer between Lynn, Cobb, and Darvish was none of the above... at least for April.

 

Let's take this time to remember that Lynn asked for $20M a year on a multi-year contract. Not that he's a total bust... but we can see why teams were hesitant to pay these starting pitchers gobs of money.

19 pitches and nary an out

Thank god stanton looks like the worst batter on the planet right now

At least Lynn isn’t walking people.

Yeah, even I could read what Lynn said after the Stanton at bat.

He got an out! Only 26 more to go. 

At least Lynn isn’t walking people.

Yes the hits are much easier to stomach

26 pitches. all 2 or 4 seam fastballs except for 3 cutters. That's keeping them off balance.

My thoughts on hating the Yankees;

 

I used to hate the Yankees, when they simply bought every player.  There was no way the Twins could ever hope to compete against a team that shrugged their shoulders at nine-figure contracts, and laughed and spit on the luxury tax.

 

I no longer hate the Yankees--a team that develops a lot of talent, and makes incredibly shrewd trades, as that's exactly what I would hope the Twins would become.

 

So no, I don't hate the Yankees, but I want to be them oh so bad.

Here's a thought--what if tonight we proposed just forfeiting tomorrow's game?  We get to rest our bullpen, and we can fly back to Minnesota tonight to prepare for Friday's game against a team we actually have a chance to beat.

And we have the bottom three in our order tonight

I am way past the point of being able to tolerate the annoyed look on Morrison’s face at every called strike or swing and miss

Great inning there

I haven't been keeping track--is that the first 1-2-3 inning for Twins pitchers this series?

Six straight outs by Lynn. This is good.

SHHHHHH!!!  You'll jinx him!

Here's a question for the Twins Daily tech people; why do spaces not appear in between periods/question marks/exclamation points and the beginning of the next sentence in my post.  Example immediately to the left of the word example in this sentence.

Fun fact: Mauer, Dozier, and Escobar are all hitting .288 at the moment. And they're all going to be free agents once the season is over. Odd.

Why?!

Three ball count after three ball count

Just catching up.

 

Lynn was pretty unlucky in the first. Two ground balls get through, then one line drive.

 

And this just in: I HATE the Yankees. Hate them with the intensity of a thousand suns, each in super nova, and all in my living room.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Gregorius guy is really good...
