So what was everyone's favorite game one moment? Mine was when I napped through it.

Mine was when I closed the video feed while it was 0-0 in the first.

I like the Twins here. I usually only do 1 game per day, but had to do 2 today. Scaled it back a bit. $50 on Twins.

I'm a little upset to not see Colabello in the lineup. What's the point of calling him up if you aren't going to use him? He got a pinch hit opportunity in the first game but someone else could have done that.

Hardest hit ball of the season for Carroll.

HEr-MANN!

Sano, Rosario, and Morales promoted to AA, in case anyone doesn't check the minor league boards.

I was at the game--so I couldn't nap--lots of Twins fans there. My favorite moment probably was the play Parmalee made off the wall on the double. Reminded me of Cuddyer. I also liked when the Twins nabbed the guy at home (surprised Doumit held on to the ball).

 

First time seeing Twins live in a couple of years--very unimpressed--middle infield defense is weak...

HEr-MANN!

 

How can anyone hate having 3 catchers?

I knew about Sano... Did not know about Rosario and Morales... Thanks for the info...

 

New Britain... Is the Farm Hot Spot now.

By the Power of Rochester!

Florimon #3 out of 10

Florimon has as many home runs to right in TF now as Mauer does.

Deduno steps in the bucket.

Florimon has as many home runs to right in TF now as Mauer does.

 

That may be but this game is in Washington.

Don't mind me, my nap didn't last long enough.

Snepp is on a roll... Just go with it.

So, how about that Expos rotation?

Zero?

Nicely done by Hicks

That was quite the throw by Hicks, no Yasiel Puig though.

Is Deduno over 75 already?

Ugg... 0-2 flip off the bat single on a slider away.

Is Deduno over 75 already?

I know there's sometimes a question about the actual age of some hispanic ballplayers, but I think that's unlikely.

50 pitches in the 3rd. He is the wild man.

Deduno is killing me. Should have stayed disciplined and not played this game. SMH
