Finally, an opponent in our same division! Royals? Nope, never heard of them. Definitely didn't score only 4 runs over 3 games. Nope, our high-powered offense wouldn't slump that badly. Didn't happen.
Anyway, assuming no weather issues, Ober pitches against Kopech tonight, and the Twins are going to score lots of runs, which is a thing they regularly do.
That national anthem gets the Runner Two Thumbs Up seal of approval -- well done, kids
Boy, I hope the strike zone improves over what Luis saw.
14th DP Twins have hit into? Thanks Carlos
Cubs lead with 16. The Phillies are second with 14. Those two teams have an OPS+ of 117 and 122 respectively however while the Twins are at 89.
its laughable how many double plays the Twins are hitting into
And considering how few baserunners, too
the tide has gotta turn soon
AN EXTRA BASE HIT
Ok, hear me out: Arraez as the everyday first baseman.
Are stilts allowed on the field? What about heels?
I see no reason why Manfred wouldn't allow it.
As long as he keeps hitting. (I hope they go for it - he's always hitting)
I’m in board until Kirilloff is back, and then they can timeshare a bit — Arráez at 1b when Kirilloff is in left, Arráez subbing at 2b/3b when Kirilloff is at first.
Jeffers with a 5-pitch K, and none of them were strikes.
Kaprizov hit 100 points. Fiala already has 4 points
Make that 5 (all assists)
Blew away Gaborik's record.
Huh? Heat down by 1 with 4.4 seconds left. Miami isolates for some Jimmy Butler hero ball. Shot doesn’t fall, game over. #wherehaveiseenthatbefore
This offense makes cemeteries seem lively.
Graveman took offense to that comparison.
I like how Corey has always said "automatic double" for quite a while; wish Gameday would as well
Finally.
TWINS BASEBALL!!!!!Twins Baseball!TWINS BASEBALL!!!!
whaaaa?
TWINS BASEBALL!!
TWINS BASEBALL!!
WhiteYakety SoxMy favorite part was where the first baseman dropped his glove like a little leaguer when he went to go chase the ball.
Supposedly because Correa stepped on it, although can't really tell
I like my version better.
Me too.
Well, yeah!
Remember that game against the White Sox that ended with Alex Rios somehow throwing the ball into the visitor's dugout from right field? That was hilarious.
Here it is
"Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man"
A pick-axe, and a spade, a spade,
For and a shrouding sheet:
O, a pit of clay for to be made
For such a guest is meet.
Two things, that was cool and good and my goodness the booth is so much better with Morneau in it.
That's the most animated I've heard Corey in quite a while, too
nibble nibble
Six pitches to Pollock, and none of them were strikes.
Uffda.
Just setting up the crushing game ending DP
I'm not sure Pagan has thrown a legit strike this whole inning until this AB
the ump’s been on top of the call. if anything, he’s given pagan a few pity strikes.
Damn, maybe don't try to spike a ball with the bases juiced?
also, nice block by Jeffers.
Good night, Hosers!
Yowza!
that last pitch could have just as easily been called a ball. just baaaarely nicked the corner.
Jeffers'd
If you ain't hittin', you best be defendin'
a two game win streak while scoring 3 total runs is something
And the runs were scored on a sacrifice fly and infield single
We're still on track for 154-8!
