[RpR]

GEE, for catcher we could have had not so good bat but excellent fielding, or not so good  bat and not so good fielding; sure glad they took the latter.

Maybe we need a streaker to run across the field to fire this team up....

 

Anyone have Morganna's number?

Have all the Twins games this year been this exciting?

You'd hardly be able to contain yourself!

[PDX Twin]

All of the affiliates won one-run games tonight (except CR rained out). Maybe the Twins can keep the pattern going? 

The Wichita game was memorable. The Wind Surge (aka Gust) had a 7-0 lead in the 9th, and ended up winning 9-8 in 10 innings. Their bullpen must be watching the Twins.

About 10 weak pop-ups to shallow right tonight for this team. I'm guessing the spin will be "they are trying to hit it the other way, what a success!"

[cHawk]

Who's this Daniel Lynch guy? Can we get him on the Twins?

I think he changed his name from Koufax.

Twins only have two strike outs, I will take pop-ups over strike outs.

I was literally going to say the same thing. The right fielder will end up with 18 put outs tonight

[Vanimal46]

Miggy Cabrera going for his 3,000th hit tonight

Do any of the minor teams have  guys who are competent at hitting baseballs? The big club doesn’t seem to have any

As a young lad I was at the first Cubs game under the lights - 8/8/88.

Philadelphia's Phil Bradley led off the game with a HR, and in the bottom of the first inning Morganna The Kissing Bandit ran out of the stands and tried to kiss Ryne Sandberg. Bill Murray was in the booth with Harry Caray. During the rain delay, the Cubs players ran out onto the field and did slip-n-slides on the tarp.

The game was rained out and thus didn't count. Best game that never was.

[Aggies7]

Sigh. Paddock physically reminds me of Sidney ponson.

[Vanimal46]

Miggy won’t get it tonight. Unless the Tigers bat through the order in the 9th.

Yes

[bighat]

Royals playing some amazing small-ball there.

Those 2 runs should be enough to put any end to a comeback here. No reason to suffer needlessly, we'll see you all next game. Here's hoping we have more positive things to discuss one of these days.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

almost like Mondesi tried to do that on purpose 

[twinssporto]

I miss good bunting...

You know, that flag looking stuff you hang off of your porch.

[RpR]

 Bunts, I wonder if the Twins have hit in the past 20 years?

That is the problem with the 40 man. Only Royce and Miranda are hitters on the 40 not active and not injured.

they need to DFA about 4 pitchers, with the state of the rotation not yet fully stretched out and the pen being ineffective, I doubt they remove more than 2 on May 1 to get down to 26

According to Dick these Twins hitters are "right on it" as they constantly miss cookies right down the heart of the plate.

ah yes that HOF hitter Dick Bremer

Should be lots of candidates...

Tomorrow is one of the days my alarm doesn't go off at 3:15 am.  I'll keep watching, even if it is to watch KC not pop out to right field all the time.

Down 2-0, feels like 12-0.

[Aggies7]

Welp, 5 innings and 71 pitches. Paddack is as good as done for

I think they can DFA Jax, Romero, and Vallimont pretty easily. Stashak too if he continues to look bad the next couple weeks.
