Bunt attempt!

Failed...but it was an attempt.

I don't mind listening to Smalley and Bremer.  Just not 125% of the time.

What was that thing when Max stuck his bat out over the plate and held it there? Has anyone ever seen a player do that before?

Kepler trying to bunt, Sano with a productive out...

You know, I bet if he held it just right, he could dribble a ball over to the left side of the infield where they have no defenders. Might be on to something here....

********. You're just making stuff up now. Let's stick to reality here.

I think there is an unwritten rule against hitting like that.

Poor Max!. He gets criticized for just trying to do his job. Too much expectation.

Clearly trying to hit into the shift works better anyway.  That AB is the perfect example!

21.1% of the time, it works every time!

With Buxton back, I bet the Twins will be able to score one run instead of zero.

This aged well.

Wow. Take a break for lunch and the Twins score! Doctor be damned, I should eat more!

Ryan is the kind of guy that AL Central teams are going to get very tired of over the next few years.

Is it too early to point out that Ryan has a perfect game going? 
Has a team ever lost while their pitcher threw a no hitter? 

Really enjoying the Joe Ryan guy.

The Twins are hitting into some absolute terrible luck too.....you line in to a double play to end the 1st.   The baseball Gods have got to even this out eventually, right?

Edit: ninja'd.  That's what I get for typing "Yup!" I guess.

Miguel Cabrera still sitting at 2,999 hits.  He's 0 for 3 so far today.

My goodness. Correa got snake bit on that hit and run. 

This team, man. I mean, nothing you can do about hitting into double play line drives.

sigh

Hard to make this stuff up sometimes.

And he was doubled off in the 1st on one too.  

Are there still people complaining about trading Cruz? 

It's still VERY early, but...

Right now it looks like Cruz for Ryan and Strotman might be the best trade in franchise history, even if Strotman never throws another pitch.

Very mad at you right now.  This is your fault.

Was just thinking this exact same thing.
