I’m happy to see C4 back too! He’s vital to the lineup

I don't think anyone is upset that he's back, and I don't think anyone would be shocked to hear that he's DHing in one of his first game's back, but "complaining" about DH'ing in him game 1 back is completely justifiable, especially when the replacement is Nick Gordon AND you are ending up with one of your best left handed mashers on the bench. There is no doubt about it that the this makes the Twins worse. Just play him at SS tonight (and get Gary in the lineup) and DH Correa tomorrow. 

 

Anyone questioning someone who is "complaining" about that is just looking to flex power. It is a completely fair compliant. 

Oh, so it's all AJ's fault?

I wanna get one of these Mn Twins snow globes!

Target Field in November would make a good backdrop

Rocco got tossed last night, he deserves credit for that, he’s a Twin

BRRR...too cold. I like the summer snow globe a lot better.

 

Lines up to be Smeltzer vs Baz, but you could see Smeltzer pushed to Friday with the day off Monday and someone fill the hole on Saturday. 

 

Did we win yet?

Wow! I missed seeing that. He must have said "Darn" to the ump.

I was thinking of the Twins going deep in the playoffs

The summer snow globe is just full of water.

My contention is I don’t know, and neither do you. So you can either continue complaining about something you have no control over, or move on. 

By the way, great tone you’re setting here head moderator. My negativity bingo card is almost filled up before the first pitch. 

Winning bingo is still winning.

 

I approve, even if i don't how you got such a lucky card.

Archer doing a better job managing his pitch count the last couple games. I hope he pitches deep into this game. I’m less concerned about him going third time through the lineup than having the bullpen pitch 4+ innings 

That pitch had "hit me a mile" written all over it.

Archer has been good through 3. He doesn't have great command, but he isn't missing over the plate which is the most important thing.

Meh, sanity is over rated.

Truly the plan of a master!

Can’t someone just have an opinion around here without getting totally ripped for it

Yes.

 

(or at least that's my opinion.)

Twins with 720 feet worth of fly outs in the last 2 AB's

Much better pace to tonight's game.  Last night was pretty brutal in many ways and pace was one of them.

Well, so long as the Twins continue to get no baserunners for the rest of the game, you’ll be the first to credit them for contributing to crisply paced ballgame.

Typically, there are two teams that contribute to pace of a game.

It took 2.5 hours to complete 5 innings last night.  

That started out as such a nice play, too...

I don't mean to be dramatic, but Correa makes that play (as does Palacios).

Whoops!

And that's why Gordon is an outfielder. E6

Buehrle used to pitch a very fast game. Put him opposite the slowest pitcher on another team … don’t know how that would work

Yup.
