Bounceback test. The Twins played a lousy game at “The Stadium” last night. Their past poor games have been answered by good games, with no indication of a skid. They face another lefty (Happ) today and Jake Odorizzi will answer the bell for the Twins.

Like the lineup...Intrigued with the batting order. 

I'm hoping Eddie bounces back today! This lineup is so much more dangerous when he's raking.

Garver is letting too many hittable balls go past him without taking a swing. Noticed this is becoming a common theme for him.

Gotta put hitters away JO

I'd like to see Eddie in motion

Fantastic play by Schoop

 

PS: WHERE IS EVERYONE!!!!

 

I feel like I'm talking to myself

Here!!

Dull game so far. We need some action here.

Not to be a pessimist here, but pop-outs are almost more frustrating than strikeouts 

 

Guys are trying too hard to hit bombs right now

Swing the bat here Garver.

Yes!

GARVER GONE!!!!!!

nice to pop in and see a lead... 2 runs isn't enough though. 

Looks out to me.

Seems like one of the first times we have challenged all year

He was out. Just touching cloth counts?

Nice shut down inning.

Marwin is starting to hit the ball hard. Good to see

Now it’d be nice to see Kepler avoid popping out.

Schoop!!

No way.

WOW - fantastic catch by Mabin

Jake seems to have caught the nibble virus.

Agree. Get aggressive. Sitting on our heels hoping everything is perfect is why we continue losing here

Not sure Jake will make it 5... want to be wrong there. 

Atta boy Jake

Fantastic pitch. Jake doesn't have his best stuff, but he's been good enough so far. Get through the fifth, and turn it over to the well rested pen
