We're already down 3-0 to Corey Kluber. That doesn't bode well. But, hey, it's baseball. Go Twins!

We're going to need at least four today, boys. Let's get it started!
Maybe we could start by getting one?
It's sad that Atteberry is bringing out his blowout game material when it's still 3-0.
Are the Twins trying? Seems like they're playing in Inevitable Mode.
Not good Berríos today. Six walks to five strikeouts.
Good wiggling to hold the lead to four. I'm not real confident of our ability to score five, though.
Leadoff double! Let's get on the board.
I'd like to believe Atteberry was going down the WGOM birthday list there.
I have no doubt.
On the board!
Well, I guess you can't get five until you get one. It's a start.
As with yesterday, this game is a lot closer than it feels like it should be.
Good inning for Moya. We have to take the good news where we can find it.
POLANCO!!! Tie game!!!
hey -- it's a ballgame again
Anyone watching? Was that really a bad call on Sano?
Provus says it was. Well, kind of. At first it sounded like he was saying it was definitely a ball, but then he sort of backtracked.
Yeah, it wasn't the most egregious call, but you could safely say it was a ball.
Well, I've got to go and give Communion at the local nursing home. Bring it home, boys!
In a season filled with ‘what-ifs’ ... what if they had a healthy (and productive) Sano, an (earlier) healthy Santana, a healthy Buxton, quality output from the free agent signings, a Dozier playing to earn a payday ... recently, the one I wonder about most is, what if they’d had Polanco holding down SS and hitting the way he did last year?
what if Joe avoids more concussion problems?
I don't play what ifs -- if those folks were 100%, then we'd have problems elsewhere. #fatalism
Yeah ... I’m not really hung-up on that, mostly just reminding myself/pointing out that the team had a lot go the wrong way, and Polanco out for 81 games was one that I don’t think anyone really saw coming. Especially annoying that it was ‘self-inflicted’
That was definitely a ball.
Yup - Rowson thought so too ... and was tossed for saying so.

Good to see Reed is back 100%
