does the radio carry them yet??? 

[mike89]

I just looked around on google and the twins are on several radio stations... 

[Gunner55]

I'm definitely cooling in the cave tonight  and tuning in..

A little recap for those who didn't/couldn't tune in. Kepler homered on the 1st pitch & again to lead off the 2nd inning. They had 3 others with key hits with 2 out for most of the rest of the RBI's. Berrios wasn't sharp but the bullpen was for a 10-5 win. Today's game is scheduled for 1:10

[LPS]

I watched till it got tied up.  I missed a great ending. 

[Gunner55]

Our bullpen wasn't sharp yday & they had 5 HR's. Lost 10-3, today's game is 1:10 again.

Yea I bet da Bomba squad is real scared. NOT!!

Just looked at the box score for today. 14-2 da Bomba squad. Looks like Cave hit a grand slam in the first inning, Cruz hit 2 out and Gonzalez hit one out. And dat was against your white suxs Lee.

[Gunner55]

Cruz went 4 for 5 with 7 RBI's, Maeda was up 9-0 when he took the mound to start the 2nd.

I haven't looked at the box scores from around the league.  Are other teams scoring at a high rate too?  The guys talking during the first game were wondering if hitting was further along than pitching this season.  If so, that will bode well for the Twins and their ability to outscore opponents when they need to.

oh Lee seems AWOL from this thread all of a sudden!!!!!!

[Dotch]

Lee's probably been hangin' with those Marlin's players who recently tested positive for COVID 19. Might be grim for the season continuing if that keeps up. 

[Lee Borgersen]

oh Lee seems AWOL from this thread all of a sudden!!!!!!

Just fur da record ma brudder......Lee hates da White Sox When raised in Chicago ya are eadder a Cubs fan or a (pale hose) White Sox fan! Never Both!

Your right Dotch as I heard on the drive home that they have 4 more test positive so that means they have 7 total & that they've cancelled their home opener tonight because of it. That will put some stress on the already short condensed season & could easily spell doom for MLB.  Kind of waiting/thinking that same shoe might be about ready drop on the NBA as well. So look out NFL!!

[glenn57]

  i understand the issues here........but these guys arent in the hospital or on ventilators are they??????? so they quareentine, then when they test negative, then move on .............sheez.

[Gunner55]

  Too many players out, too many teams can't play, too many games to make up, game over.

[Gunner55]

Yeah Steve-o from the results I've been seeing, I'd say scoring is up considerably.

[Gunner55]

Home opener with St Louis Cardinals @ 7:10 tonight. FA Homer Bailey gets the ball.

[Dotch]

Saw the game last nite on youtubetv. Don't ask me how I remembered any of the hocus pocus to get on there again. Nice to see them win the game. Didn't see the national anthem kneeling but the Black Lives Matter & George Floyd stuff chaps my hide. It's turning me off as a fan. Fortunately they also still did God Bless America. I made damn sure I watched until the 7th to see if they would. If they hadn't I would've been done watching for the season. As it is the game itself was just sorta blah. Finding it difficult to get fired up about tuning in another one.

Twins offense is ranked #3 in all of baseball. Barring injuries and Covid they will knock the ball around pretty good. As the bullpens get worn out we should see some real softball scores. Hitters might be a tad bit ahead of the pitchers at this point but we are in the heat of the summer when the ball always flys anyway. That and they likely are still using the juiced balls of last year.

Twins are off to a good start.

[Gunner55]

  I'll say, before the start of last nights game they were nearly averaging a run/inning. Tonights game against Cleveland is on FOX @ 6. For those who no longer get FSN & haven't got a look at the Twins yet. You can tonight if you wish. Berrios gets the ball & he wasn't sharp in his 1st start.

[glenn57]

Sure, first game I can watch there Twinkies, turn it on and first pitch I see is a homer for the bad guys.

[Gunner55]

I think I can fix that for you  , glenn. I just won't tell you when they're on somewhere other that FSN. 

[Gunner55]

Another lead off HR by Kepler & a 2 R double by Rosario in the 1st were pretty much the difference along with some good work by Dobnak & the bullpen last night. Avilia did have a HR in the 2nd too.

[Gunner55]

Solo HR's by Sano(2) & Rosario accounted for all their runs & a stellar outing by Maeda who went 6 innings, giving up only 1 hit while havin 6 K's led to the 3-0 win last night.

[dutchboy]

3-1 win today, 3 out of 4 is pretty good against Cleveland. Caught Cleveland at a good time. If they ever get the hitting going with that pitching staff they will be tough.

7-2 record for the Twinks.   

[Gunner55]

They said that 7-2 for the 1st 9 games ties their best start ever in 2001.

[glenn57]

and 1 of those losses came when i watched. no more.

get your world series ticke............er wait!!!!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

They were behind 4-0 last I looked, bottom of the 5th, last night only to come back & tie it in the 6th. Cruz had the key hit(2B) in the top of the 9th to drive in Polanco for the winning run. Cruz & Kepler had 6 of their 7 hits. Thorpe opened the game & struggled but the bullpen was once again up to the job.
