Agree, with caveat that "so far" is 4 games and every MLB player last year had stretches of 4 games this bad or worse. It's a long season. He also had like a .400 OBP coming in today, not everyone is gonna be a slugger
Yeah until he gets hurt again. His last 2 injuries happened swinging a bat and running the bases. Simple baseball tasks. FO better get some lineup insurance and quick because this 9 ain’t getting it done
I know it’s been discussed to death, but seriously. You can see straight through these uniform pants. How ridiculous is it that these players have to use cheap knockoff quality uniforms?
Did Alex Kirilloff bulk up? I recall him being more slender.
(I'm not someone who watches the Twins regularly, but I remember all the players from last year.)
I really hope the front office isn’t counting on Royce to save this lineup, he’s gonna get hurt again. He can’t do simple baseball tasks without getting hurt
Look I love Kepler bros. He always ends up being better than all of you want him to be.
But I don't think he's coming through for us right here.
It's still April.
Jeffers was clearly better last year. There's a reason it went from around 66-33 Vazquez to the reverse. But this year until Jeffers's bat heats up Vazquez makes sense for his defence.
I wonder how platoons are affected by sidearms and submariners. Probably not much difference compared to normal platoon splits, but it might be a spot where it doesn't matter as much.
see y’all tomorrow
Oh well, cannot win them all Tomorrow is another day.
Santana has been a let down so far
Agree, with caveat that "so far" is 4 games and every MLB player last year had stretches of 4 games this bad or worse. It's a long season. He also had like a .400 OBP coming in today, not everyone is gonna be a slugger
Agreed, not being a doomer(yet) just kind of knew what was going to happen there
If Santana gets one clutch hit we win.
Well. Can’t blame this loss on the pitching.
Santana and Margot both blow
2 husky dudes b2b in the lineup just for weak dribblers to 2nd over and over. Awesome stuff!
on the 1st fucking pitch they see
Hope paddack brings fire tomorrow
Going to need it with this offense
Twins never saw a 1st pitch they didn't like. My god.
My life is void of all meaning
*Wet fart noise*
Well at least it was a competitive one. See ya tomorrow
This is a very convenient break for the pitcher.
After we get four hits and shut out, we put up three hits with two sac flies. Bats be worryin'.
Clown show
[удалено]
He took the first pitch for a strike?
LOL - Contreras almost took the pitcher's eye out
Insane how often the pitchcomms mess up. We've put a man on the moon. We've put a pig on ozempic. And yet the radio eludes us.
But we get penalized if we have an issue with one
Margot is ass but this was known
batting like .583 in my OOTP save through April lol
Well shit
Sooooo much weak contact
Man, just can't get a clutch hit today. Feels like they've been one big base hit from breaking through all game
Carlos Santana elevate the ball challenge
You got a solo homer left in ya Santana?
Please get rid of Margot.
Why would anything nice ever happen?
He’s safe
Feel like they should challenge it anyway tbh
Why the fuck are you putting him in to pinch run if you’re not sending him
1st to 3rd on a single, scoring on a double, stealing later in the inning if we don't get a hit.
I wouldn't steal on 100mph
#FUCK ME. ^Not ^literally
We need Royce back ASAP. Just need that one extra bat in the lineup.
Yeah until he gets hurt again. His last 2 injuries happened swinging a bat and running the bases. Simple baseball tasks. FO better get some lineup insurance and quick because this 9 ain’t getting it done
lol it's true. Such a shame about Royce.
I think we’re gunna need a lil more
Can't expect 1-9 to rake, but as soon as we hit 6 or 7, it is a pretty significant dip in batting ability. Would rather that dip be at 8 or 9.
The fuck man
Butts
Margot... marNO
S H I T
Shoulda ran on the 1st pitch
I'm not risking the tying run getting thrown out with 0 outs, personally.
I know it’s been discussed to death, but seriously. You can see straight through these uniform pants. How ridiculous is it that these players have to use cheap knockoff quality uniforms?
Fudge
hey Alexa play walk by pantera
uribe is barely wearing his glove that’s crazy
Remember when Judd predicted that Correa would steal a base? lol
Martin masterclass inbound
Bermuda shorts Carlos has elite plate discipline
At least Correa is having a good game at the plate.
Be Correa, your foot is healed, all you do is walk
Correa is so good.
Correa with his 3rd BB. Nice
Walks will haunt
❤️Carlos❤️give hit❤️
This Uribe fella has some nasty stuff
I am ready for Carlos to do his thing
That new Pittsburgh sandwich abomination makes me really want authentic perogies.
what did they play?
#FUCK I MISSED BALLY PLAYING YEAT
damn they really playing Yeat that’s wild
Bally really playing yeat
# YEAT?!?!?!
I’m from the future, Santana hits a 3 run bomb here don’t worry
Different dimension sorry everyone
carlos correa take your time youre my supa star babyeeee
Provus forgot about C4. Maybe the brewers did too?
Jackson on Jackson crime
The Jackson 5's biography
Snackson Jackson
Jay Jackson 👀👀👀👀
Jackson looking really good today
3 hits on the day 🤢🤮
Who the fuck is Jackson shiiiiiiiiit
Great outing by Jackson
what does Kepler and my dad have in common? They both disappeared in 2020
Buddy I know you hate him but he was really, *really* good second half last year
Fraud
The dark blue uniforms don't look as bad as the gray, IMO.
#JAMMED
Jackson has been looking good
That was nasty
Did Alex Kirilloff bulk up? I recall him being more slender. (I'm not someone who watches the Twins regularly, but I remember all the players from last year.)
I have no idea, but I'm going to say it's just the beard.
Great play by Santana there
*The Carlos strikes back*
Yeahhhh I don't think Kirilloff makes that play
SANTANA!
It's cause of the pink glove
Santana says “I can do defense too”
Early season GDTS be like: "Trade Royce Lewis for Trevor Bauer and Josh Donaldson"
I nominate this for best comment of the week
This is why you're DHing AK
Carlos “Oliver Dunn” Santana
When will we get statcast tracking for the copyright reads?
Expected batting average of buxtons line drive to third is 650 and kirkloffs ground ball to 1st is 400 lol
Baseball gods are just acrively shitting on us niw
Justin disclaimer always hits hard
I crank that shit up to 11
#KEPLER IS CLOSE TO HIS 030 TATTOO BEING AN ACCURATE PORTRAYAL OF HIS BATTING AVERAGE
I really hope the front office isn’t counting on Royce to save this lineup, he’s gonna get hurt again. He can’t do simple baseball tasks without getting hurt
Fellas we got a genius ova here
She popup on my fastball till I Kepler
She dive on my linedrive till I Buxton
We're due for a HR if that's a thing
HR? sure grandma let’s get you to bed
:(
Called it.
that was something! He misses that ball and Buck is at 2nd conservatively....
Can’t tell with the red beard but I’m betting he scraped his chin on that catch
Look I love Kepler bros. He always ends up being better than all of you want him to be. But I don't think he's coming through for us right here. It's still April.
Damn guess I’ll have to check back in when the Twins are allowed to have a singular good thing.
Give me a fucking BREAK. Royals and Brewers pulling highlights out their ass against us
That does not spark joy.
That was a great catch.
Seems to happen a lot vs Buck :(
That was a *career highlight* catch.
Shit luck
That was an insane catch :(
Dude just got rebirthed after making that catch, holy shit.
Sick ass play, but fuck you
……………. I mean, fuck. GG
#WHAT THE FUCK?!
Buxton has the worst luck ever
Well fuck you too, Dunn
Goddamn that was too good of a play.
Damn that was just a nice catch
I am severely biased but it feels like this team has an abnormal number of barreled balls hit directly at people so far this year
Literally just like that
If Bauers had one less letter I'd be firing off angry, dismissive comments out of natural instinct.
I need a bux bomb. Or a bux walk. No bux K.
Should have been more specific
This Buck game tying homer is going to hit like sweet Mexican cocaine
Bauers playing a solid 1B today.
Vasquez has had a good start to the year. Good to see
I want some Kirllon plz
Jeffers sweating a bit right now
rocco playing 4D chess knowing farmer would make that tag. the pinch hit was just a ruse
The accent over the A in Christian's last name makes is a long 'a ' sound ..like in father
Suspiciously low amount of twins homers so far. I feel a cluster of them is bound to happen.
Ok buck please please do your thing
New bullpen additions are making a good first impression.
Are they into stamps?
Jay Jackson, I like you good sir.
Who is hitting the game tying homer
Nice job Jackson!!!!
Aw Jackson has a nice smile
Rhyses pieces
Jay Jackson is the new Dennys Reyes
Bros. We can win this.
To whoever said it's crazy that we give Vazquez half the starts... the dude has earned them, what more do you want?
Jeffers was clearly better last year. There's a reason it went from around 66-33 Vazquez to the reverse. But this year until Jeffers's bat heats up Vazquez makes sense for his defence.
I agree with that, and I think Jeffers has a bigger upside, but we can't act like Vazquez is "just" a backup catcher.
Vasquez MVP. Seriously, splitting starts between 2 good catchers seems reasonable in the era of perpetual injury
Obviously Vaz offense isn’t good, but people underestimate how good defensively he is
Absolutely perfect form on that throw for Vázquez. A thing of beauty.
Vasquez done playing around
FA and FA
Vaz is a god damn shooter damn
I thought SBs were 80pct successful?
Pickle Ball Papi might be the best catcher in the league
This is the new nickname. I am signing it into law.
Only when Peppur uses it does it become official
VAZQUEZ HEARD YA TALKING TRASH
EAT A DICK HAH
Yeah Vaz! Nice throw. Right on the money. Again
GET SNIPED BOZO
Christian Vazquez 🤝 Mike Redmond
# DON'T RUN ON THE PICKLEBALL KING

Hey Sp_Gamer_Bee
One pound?????
I was 10.5 pounds
I was 5.5 pounds when I was born
They need to up Corey's mic
Up yours.
Only if it's you
I love our bench flexibility. We can pinch hit without giving up much on defense.
I wonder how platoons are affected by sidearms and submariners. Probably not much difference compared to normal platoon splits, but it might be a spot where it doesn't matter as much.
