1. Danny Salazar. Lots and lots of strikeouts.

   Expect swings and misses. Hopefully Arcia or Vargas can square one up.

2. Don't remember the TIBN playing the national anthem, but today Red Pine Elementary choir from Eagan did just fine.

   1. They've done it a couple of times recently. I haven't been able to listen consistently enough to know if it's a new thing or just a coincidence.

3. doh! ><

4. Arcia's gotta learn if you swing that hard and miss, you're gonna hurt yourself.

5. Nunez BA on fire.

6. Eduardo Nunez hit a double, and his helmet stayed on his melon. gold star effort!

7. Seems like the second N would be enya (N with tilde).

8. Woo hoo!

9. RBii.

10. ii brings the bacon.

    1. Mmmmmmm, bacon. Needed a taste today so I made a clubhouse sandwich for lunch.

11. Salazar is on pace for 24 strikeouts this game.

    1. I think you mean the Twins are on pace to strike out 24 times this game.

12. Two outs that weren't strikeouts!

13. Oh Nunez [facepalm.jpg]

14. Dubbel!

15. Quick thing talking about Mauer pulling the ball by "acquainting his body with pulling the ball". Mauer promptly hits a double to left.

16. 8 hour birthing class?!?

    I hope it's useful in the long run.

17. Taking a peek at the all time Twins double list (updated)

    3 Kent Hrbek 312
    4 Joe Mauer 310

18. Well, this went downhill fast.

19. 

20. stop. bunting.

    1. I can't shake the feeling that this is a fundamentally flawed team.

    2. Puig Destroyer agrees

       1. *thumbs up*

21. I wonder if "defensive indifference stolen bases" are tracked by anyone.

    1. It would be in the play-by-play data but I don't know of any totals tracked.

       1. would that include or exclude any SB with Matty LeCroy starting at C?

          1. Frank Robinson just cried

22. Twins were supposed to sweep this series. Now they've ruined the pattern. Oh well. I'm sure there will be plenty of complaints about strikeouts, but the Twins had 9 Ks in their first 3 1/3 innings of batting and 4 in their final 5 2/3 innings, so they did make adjustments. I was more disliking giving away outs with dumb base running and dumb attempts at bunting.

    1. We'll just have to settle for 155-7!
