1. =o

   a 1-2-3 inning from Pelfrey

2. HICKS!!!!!!

   1. So it's the lineup position and not Dozier all along, eh?

3. Sano!!!!!!!

4. Sanooooooooooooooo

5. Hicks having a good game against a righty.

6. Sano x2!!!!!!
   Upper deck, man.

7. I kind of feel like the twins should strongly consider extending the hell out of Sano's contract in a Longoria/Trout kind of way.

   1. Buxton too.

8. Sanoooooooooooooo

9. Miguel Sano (22 yrs, 93 days) is the youngest #MnTwjns player with at least 5 RBI in a game since Buddy Lewis (WSH, 21.261) on Apr 28, 1938.

   1. That makes Sano the second youngest in franchise history and youngest in Twins history. Previous youngest in Twins history was Arcia.

      1. According to the radio gang, after his 6th RBI he tied the Twins rookie record with Oliva and Arcia.

10. Hi everybody. What did I miss?

11. So this sano kid is pretty alright, eh?

    1. We're gonna keep him.

       1. according to my twitters, frightwig says "meh." 😉

12. Another 1-2 walk for Sano. So so good

    1. Especially with men on base and already had hit a couple home runs. Most kids would be swinging out of their shoes looking for a monster game.

       1. I forget how highly his patience was heralded, but that's what's struck me the most so far this year. If this is his skill level in his first few months, I can't wait to see his prowess once his skill is honed even further.

          1. He reminds me a bit of the Big Hurt. I could live with a Frank Thomas-like career from Miguel.

13. The top 7 in the order tonight were drafted/Int'l signed and developed by the Twins.

14. I don't often get to watch the Twins telecast, so I'd forgotten just how terrible Dick and Bert are. Nearly unlistenable, what with Bremmer 's rigid parochialism and Bert's dull banter. The radio crew is head and shoulders above those two.

    1. Amen. Dazzle has even been tolerable, broadcasting a team that can actually win games

       1. Strange as it sounds, I've actually grown to like Gladden. A lot of the credit goes to Provus, with whom the Dazz has really good chemistry. They seem to enjoy each others company and have a bit of fun while they're at it. I feel like Gladden had to babysit Gordo those last few seasons and the strain of that task really came through for the listener.

          1. I'm in full agreement (and always utilize the radio audio feed on my PS3). I love it when Provus makes that goofy laugh of his at some snide comment of Dazzle's. To be sure, I'm sure there are a hundred better candidates out there, but I've been a lot more satisfied with the radio product of late.

             On a related topic, who replaces Bert? I'm not liking any of the current in-house options.

             1. Im a big Roy Smalley fan. He does need work to make his points without using 5,000 words.

          2. I wonder if Gladden tends to live up (or down) to the quality of his partner. In his early years, I always thought he was better when paired with Herb than when paired with Gordo. Now that he's paired with Provus, as you say he does better. And as Rhu_Ru said, having a decent team probably helps, too.

          3. You're absolutely right about Gordo, I hadn't considered that. Dazzle's been less GOML, and certainly Provus is keeping the booth more relaxed. I know that when I have access to the TV feed, I still mute and watch with the radio guys on audio.

    2. Ditto. I frequently watch the game on mute with the radio on instead.

       1. I know I've said it so many times, but I ♥ having the ability to watch the game and switch to a radio feed that's completely synced with the video.
