So. Anyone for another Berrios shutout? Yeah. That would be swell.
The Twins sit in first place. Sure, it's (very) early, but it's important to remember that they all count, especially when the team is expected to be right in the borderline of a playoff spot.
They've looked pretty good so far. Solid hitting (Dozier leads the league in home runs Mauer's getting in base like a fiend) and solid pitching (that 2.33 ERA is looking pretty sweet) lead to a lot of good games, and most importantly, games where the team never feels out of it. What I'm trying to say is, so far, Gimenez hasn't been missed in the bullpen.
Let's hope that keeps being the case today. Go Berrios! Go Twins!
Berríos perfect the first time through the order.
Segura ends it in the fourth with a weak hit to Sanó.
Twins hitting them to the Mariners but Mariners hitting to where the Twins aren't.
Ratch.
I am here, time to start winning.
rats.
I tuned in to Dozier beginning the bases loading rally; wished it had been LaMarre instead of Morrison there at the end.
I've just been able to listen to bits and pieces, but it doesn't seem like the Twins have had much luck in this game.
just tuned in. Let the rally begin.
Is it ok to get excited about Mauer's start?
well, crap. time to do something else.
Woof
Hildenberger just hasn't had it this year. My guess is that he's either got some sort of flaw in his delivery or he's pitching through an injury.
