Pitchers really are the most athletic guy on the field.

[MMMordabito]

About time for a walk! Faedo has been all over the place.

[wsnydes]

Well, they've matched their hit total from yesterday already.  Coulda used one more there though.

For the intro topic: I played little league baseball, and then played 3B and pitched in HS, though by the time I was on varsity I was pretty much relegated to pinch-running and pitching against non-conference opponents (I could throw hard and just accurately enough to be effective, but had no controllable change up or breaking pitch).  I also kept book and basically became a de facto assistance coach. I also played football and basketball up through JV, and tried golfing for a year, but my golf game was once described by a friend as playing "whack-f***" cuz those were the two sounds you heard when I golfed. I played Ultimate Frisbee, disc golf, and church-league slow pitch softball during and post-college, but married/dad life has taken up any time I had for that. Any spare time I have now is spent on board gaming and the Twins.

And he didn't need 'roids in his DNA like Clemens did for his catch ?

[Parfigliano]

Everyone knows the Harvard of the Heartland is USD.

[MMMordabito]

Polanco needs to be moved down in the order until he heats up.

[Mill1634]

GORDON!

[SwainZag]

Gordon!  

[Parfigliano]

Check out the big bat from Gordon

[wsnydes]

A LEAD!!!!!

KEEP 'EM COMIN!

[MMMordabito]

Now they have a streak of two consecutive innings scoring .... Get that one up to 22!

[Mill1634]

What a great throw by Gordon

[wsnydes]

Gordon having himself a day with the bat and the arm.

[Parfigliano]

Gordon hits, fields and throws to own the inning

[wsnydes]

Now let's keep that scoring streak going!

[bunsen82]

4 innings 47 pitches,  getting to that 5th inning lol.  6th inning isn't out of reach with 75-80 pitch limit.  

[MMMordabito]

Archer having an efficient start when it's needed the most.  

[operation mindcrime]

Nick Gordon having a great game! 

[MMMordabito]

Palacios had 87 career MiLB steals.  Just sayin'.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Does anyone know what the patches on the Twins uniform say?

[rwilfong86]

Need a big hit from Kep

If you can read this patch you are to close.

[wsnydes]

Take that, shift!

[chaderic20]

Buxton just looks off-balance when he swings, similar to Polanco a couple years ago when his ankle was so bad. Hard to put a good swing on the ball when have no base to swing from.
