Phillips was quite a ways from the wall and was already reaching his hand out… Twins gotta pick that little nugget up

It was his left fielder he was avoiding contact with, not the wall

Also good!

Maybe Buxton will do better without the wires and earpiece this AB.

Devin Smeltzer is now my #3 Twins starter, behind Ryan and Gray. The man pitches so well within himself, great poise on the mound, excellent command of three pitches. You don't need a big heater if you command three pitches.

He's way more cool calm and collected than Ober

Oh man, that look on Buck’s face!

[stringer bell]

I didn't think he got much of that one.

Bremergasm means Richard is an amateur too?

Expand  

So, looking back through the TK and Gardy years, every player, coach, etc... was given a nickname. TK always makes a point to call Bremer Richard, not Dick or RB or DB or Brem. Does he not consider him part of the "team" after all these years. And why not?

Yeah, either him or Ober. Smeltzer seems a better candidate to go more than six than Ober.

I agree, i like watching him pitch, his demeanor and mannerisms are great.

[Squirrel]

Yay!

[Aggies7]

The Apple TV crew makes me long for Richard and latroy/etc

[Bigfork Twins Guy]

For those of us who cannot get into Apple TV what’s the score and inning?

Because he’s not

I just took a poll, and we have the rays starter on the ropes. (Get it?)

I commented on a post on his Instagram last week and he liked it, I guess you could say he and I are best friends now

I think TK liked giving Bremer a hard time.

Bottom 5th, 3-1 Twins, 1 on, 1 out …

Nice reads on batted balls tonight, getting extra bases is always good.

He's been employed by the team since the 80's

Kepler is faster than people think and he's really a good base runner.

And he thinks he’s a ball player, that’s TK’s way of both showing him respect and at the same time reminding him that he’s not a ballplayer

[stringer bell]

Larnach has had many more good PAs this year, even when he eventually K'd. This past PA was a good example of that.

I never got the sense that he thinks he’s a ball player. Sometimes he comes off as too much of a fan (which he is).
