I think he changed his name from Koufax.

The Twins' bats helped the Kershaw relive his prime, so it wouldn't be surprising if they helped make Lynch the next Koufax.

Twins have struck out twice to the KC's six, but KC has six hits to the Twins four, I wonder if that makes a difference?

You are describing, something that we like to call, “analytics”

[wsnydes]

Rangers turned a triple play in Seattle.

Those are pretty fun.

Which will happen first Sano get over .100 or Jeffers goes sub .100

Like ships passing in the night…

[LVTwinsfan]

Let’s get three runs so they can bring Duffey in

Ah man!

 

Even "I am so proud" in 3 part harmony?

Sano has looked bad at the plate in April before, but his swing & miss on fastballs seems slower and more lumberjack-y than other times he's struggled.

I wonder what the ratio of wins is versus losses, for teams that accomplish it.  You have to have some baserunners in order for it to happen....

[Vanimal46]

It’s been a while since we’ve had a true influx of new prospects on the position side. Kepler, Sano, Buxton, and Polanco have been mainstays since 2016. This core won’t get us to where we want to go.

He lost weight so he does not have that extra fat for energy.

[Mill1634]

The offense is offensive

Evil. 

I was going to post a cute video of my dog standing at the window with her sister and her mom wagging their tails furiously.  Not now. Everyone thinks they are going to see Rick As***

[ashbury]

We're on the verge of losing a series to the freekin Royals.  Too soon to say about the entire season, but I'm ready to say April Over.

You've actually got me curious on that one.

[Mill1634]

Also, zero reason to start Jeffers vs lefty at DH. If you want to catch him, fine. But he should not be seeing DH AB's over Arraez regardless of who the other pitcher is

[RpR]

Arraez for Celestino, WOW, good move.

Depends on whether it's two lanes or four.

Ghost runners.

The triple play itself is fun  The parade of baserunners the other innings, probably not as much.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

FIrST LINE DRIVe OF TEH NIGHT!!!1!

for the second out of the 8th

[Brock Beauchamp]

Sigh. This offense is offensive.

[Vanimal46]

I’ve stayed out of the fire Falvey discussions. But if this team is out of the picture after the first month of the year yet again, I think it’s fair to start questioning whether him and Levine are the ones to lead us out of the darkness.

The royals are better than the twins, methinks

I washed down my blood pressure medication with bourbon for a little excitement.
