Decent maybe, but certainly not better than what they saw from the Blue Jays, Yankees and Rays. 
 

Classic Twins being dominated by mediocre pitcher game

The longer this game goes 0-0 the more worried I get when it gets to the bullpen.

Just realized this was on Youtube and tuned in, Gray looks about as good as he always does in the little windows when he's healthy.

Maybe the Twins should have used Larnach. Gonzalez seems to have a pretty noticeable reverse split against left handed hitters this year.

But in a game where Jeffers has one of your two team hits, it's probably a sign that I should probably lay off the assumptions and expectations.

Twins came in hitting nearly .400 against Gonzales in 4 starts. That number looks to take a dive 

Gray going to get pulled for jax. 5 innings, 65 pitches, cruising. Overprotective nonsense

Gonzalez has been behind seemingly everybody 2-0, 2-1 too.

Just poor hitting.

Hey 5 innings is akin to a complete game under Rocco

Gray hasn't pitched in how many days and didn't have a minor league rehab either. He's already been hurt twice this year. Show some perspective.

This is a top 1 worst broadcast. Announcers are brutal, audio keeps going in and out. I finally turned on the radio and found out the YouTube broadcast is over a minute behind radio. That's probably why the Radio options aren't working on the broadcast. At least Ballys is only 45 seconds behind all the time.

65 pitches, cruising. Another 15 or even 20 pitches and he’d get injured? No one protects players more than the twins yet how many injuries have we had?

It's painfully annoying. 

81000 or so watching on YouTube. I wonder if that is what YT and MLB expected for mid day games?

Yes, of course

Is that perspective viewing the game through bubble wrap?

Although I will say an off day tomorrow maybe makes it more understandable. Still. 12 outs to get (minimum) with our bullpen.

I mentioned a couple weeks ago in a "who do you trust in the pen" thread, Jax is #2 for me. He's really become a reliable bullpen piece with good stuff.

You're right. Baldelli is an idiot and every MLB team is wrong including the Twins in regards to pitchers

It's beyond ridiculous....and I don't care if it works and we win this game. Wrap our pitchers in bubble wrap.....so so dumb.

So what’s your perspective, everyone who disagrees with you is just ignorant?
