I'm going to put this message up every game thread until all May dates have been spoken for! :) We still have 4 dates open in May and are looking for starters ... who will the takers be? @Buffy the Twins Fan? @PDX Twin? @Vanimal46? @ashbury? Just do it! Contact stringer bell today! :) Go Twins! (If I didn't call your name today, I'll get you in tomorrow ... until all dates have been spoken for.)

So there are people named Siri! I want to use that name for our next dog so that I can call her at the dog park and open everyone's Apple phones!

Maybe in olden times it was too difficult to keep track of what happened in the early innings?  No computers and the rain would wipe the ink off the scorecards?  We should ask Chief.

Too be fair I believe they might have had papyrus by then, although I think it was expensive and hard to come by,  I think you would only use it for a play-off game.

Careful, the SSS crew might find this post.

Seriously though, it's funny how that argument only seems to apply to one side. 

Their record against winning teams isn’t bad (they caught the white sox at the right time apparently), but they haven’t been super competitive against the two best teams they’ve faced. Like not remotely threatening in the 4 games against the dodgers and Astros

Yes, he was one of the 9 choices. I guess you might say he made the wrong choice.

I'd say it was the right choice. If someone is going to give up a half dozen runs, it might as well be in a game they are already going to lose. Doesn't matter how many runs the Twins give up. If they don't score more than 2 runs they are guaranteed to lose.

I pointed out the Sox thing as well as the incredibly soft 50ish games to start the year but that's been outlawed. To an extent I get it, this is so much better than last year, but it's also ok to, ya know, state what's clearly happening in front of our eyes.

"But the injuries" crew reporting for duty.

Totally fair, my point is that if we're talking about Jeffers as one of the top catchers in baseball and anointing the prospects as "arrived," after 30 odd games then it's ok to poke holes based on SSS as well.

I’m always hearing it’s better for relievers to start the inning rather than come in and try to clean up a mess. Maybe if Stashak starts the 6th he has better results. 2 innings from Cano should have been enough, most of us here realize that, why can’t Rocco realize that?

We're gonna need Chief to offer a translation of this super-sekrit code language.

The hair blowing back in the wind makes the video, but HAS to be CGI, no?

Astudillo's hair flowed like that when he simply walked to the water cooler.
