Well, been a while since the Twins were capable of winning a slugfest.

though, I'm not enthralled with De Jong.

I think we've gone from the "FRE" to the "TBE" Twins Bullpen Experience.

His mom needs to have a chat with him about his behavior.

Better than mostly to death.

Wow, got that one wrong. Darn it.

Cool, Mr. Gibson may go 5.

Ump may be squeezing the zone a bit.

You're pulling for Adrianza too?

Eh.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Any chance deGrom is tipping his pitches?

Twins brought the:

Survey says: Not!

Good job, Mr. Gibson!

Couple of well struck balls there. Go Gibson!

3 wood?

I was afraid to look that closely. The disgusting managed to ooze through the picture.

I'm impressed! I can barely remember yesterday yet you can remember a doctor appointment from that long ago?

Good morning from the not so sunny and rather windy Central Valley of CA. I am your host today and we've got a good one scheduled for your viewing and snarking pleasure. The Twins are in the Big Apple, playing the Mets, who have managed to assemble a starting staff that looks to be formidable. However, tossing aside the first game in Philly, the Twins played solid baseball the second two games against the Phillies. Yes, the third game resulted in a loss, but, the Twins hung in there. Hopefully, Mr. Gibson recovers from his horrendous first start and shows us that he's able to shake off a bad performance. And, he'll need to, because DeGrom is a tall order. This is a great road trip, though, because I think it will give fans a decent idea of the character of the 2019 version of the Twins. The Twins need to find out how they stack up against the good teams and this is a good test. Pitching for the Twins: Kyle Gibson. Pitching for the Mets: Jacob DeGrom Play ball!

I don't get the knocks against Castro. I thought it was well known that Castro was a 2 tool catcher, good with pitchers and good at throwing out runners but a marginal bat. Moving on: I think Astudillo is one of those players who brings those "impossible to define but definitely can see" intangibles to the team. While I was disappointed with the outcome of the game yesterday, it was nice to the the Twins put together two solid games after three games of barf-ball.

Between Rosario and Astudillo, this team has some fun position players to watch.

I see Mr. Kepler brought
