As I said before, the Twins should STOP SHIFTING now. Why? Because it messes up normal fielding plays, including easy double plays and poke singles by guys like Encarnacion. 

Duffey looked good that inning...bloop single and messed up force play not withstanding

Interesting pitching by Duffey. Looks like he's trying to work in his amped-up heater for strikes and outs, but he doesn't have good command of it yet. When he needed it, he had his back door curve waiting to get the last out. 

Seventeen runs on seventeen hits. So that's... fairly efficient, I guess.

Things are falling apart, no runs that inning

Scouting Report from today: "Berríos-Susceptible to big inning when given a 15-run lead".

M's fans still inside the stadium are basically the sports equivalent of drivers who can't help but look at a stalled car on the side of the road.

Do you take farside requests?

 

One at vultures chatting over a carcus about these being the good times, if memory serves?

Way to go Luis Arraez!!!

Congrats to Arraez on his first MLB hit...

 

too bad it couldn't be a homer

This Gearrin's toe tap thing is bothering me!!!

Couldn't disappoint a fellow Far Side fan with a memory that sharp...

 

 

 

PS. Saw Gary Larson in Seattle at the Fish Market in '92; even the way he shopped for fish made you wonder if he was having an imaginary conversation with a mackerel.

EDDIE!!!!!!!!!!!

All these defensive replacements...

 

And it isn't even spring.

 

Well, i suppose technically it is?

I was getting nervous they were going to go consecutive scoreless innings

Aye! That one!

 

Lemme know if i can ever return the favour.

ARRAEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!

Making a hell of a first impression

 

Congrats to Arraez on his first MLB hit...

 

 

 

And for using up all but one of his Scrabble tiles. Here's hoping he played the Z on a triple letter score.

The Adams family!!!

Just checking score...Guess we’re not keeping up. 14 run lead is just ok.

Nice clean inning from Adams!!!

The Adams family!!!

*snap snap*

This is a great team!!! I know they’re a lot of negative nellies here but really!!!? This is the best team I’ve seen in 20 years!!!!

 

Go Twins!

Sano pulls one hard into the seats behind third base and suddenly all the fans in the lower deck are awake again.

I can't speak for the other posters, but I'm pacing myself...

 

Murphy was Seattle's best pitcher

That guy Murphy is actually a pretty good pitcher. I bet he was very good in HS or college, but not quite the velocity for the pros. Just like Ryne Harper.

Technically it's 'hurry up and finish the ark' season here in MN.

If the Mariners punch it in, recover the onside kick, and score another TD, do they take the tie and overtime or go for two and the win in regulation?
