Even Riley Greene could get a bat on a ball against this staff

Keep going. Make this lead Maeda proof

How is this team 8-8?

Skubal = Maddux

Skubal looks especially nasty today

Alexander’s probably like “cmon guys, I need more time with the ice bags”

Really unlucky inning for Alexander

That might’ve been the best AB I’ve ever seen from Javy

About as good of a first inning as you could ask for

Tork juuust under that one

Is this gonna be another one of those games where a former Tigers castoff pitcher completely shuts us down for 8 innings? Didn’t Tyler Alexander cook us last time we faced him?

Riley might need a day or two off

Did they show a distance on that?

TORQUE

We gotta give a lot of the credit to our start so far to McKinstry, Dingler and Tork. A month ago we all had them as below average bench pieces.

It’d be really nice to see this team at full strength for a while. How much better would they be with a healthy Meadows and Vierling along with Gleyber being back. With Tork and Dingler stepping up, there wouldn’t really be a glaring weak spot aside from Maeda

I was briefly listening to the Twins radio broadcast on xm at the start of the game while I was running an errand and the Twins announcers were saying that the Twins social media employees were really trying hard to drive up interest in the team this year because the fan base has been very lackadaisical so far. Part of that is they aren’t really good, the other part is a segment of fans are boycotting until the Pohlads sell the team.

Big LOL to all the pundits who had the Twins winning the central. And there were a lot of them.

TORQUE

Harvey!

Grant Balfour was a great one
