Atta boy, Trevor.

[Hornets]

LARNACH!!!!!!!

[weimy froob]

there you go trevor larnach.

[boxter432]

Lol what a terrible pitch by the tigers.
Larnach takes a bad strike call (was outside and low) which leads to strike 2 swing on a ball low. Then pitch 3 is a meatball.
Boom.

[Hornets]

Byron can pull his head out of his azz any day now....

[Hornets]

It won't happen but imagine how productive Kiriloff and Larnach would be if they could stay healthy for an entire season....

[weimy froob]

ryan looking good so far.

[Hornets]

ryan looking good so far.

Looks locked in....good luck with that Kitties!

[weimy froob]

castro. 50 ABs. 25 strikeouts.

[boxter432]

I get the team won’t be as good without Royce and Correa but there no excuse for fucking everybody to hit .100.

[Hornets]

LOL....those in attendance look miserably cold! I'm sitting on my barcalounger, heat is set at 72 degrees and my 75" hi def TV makes it seem like I'm sittin in the front row!

[Hornets]

Incredible how professional umps can miss pitches like that....

[weimy froob]

quit blowing strike three calls.

[boxter432]

Robot umps please. Jesus Christ.
Tigers got 3 inches outside and low. Same set up. Righty lefty. Joe Ryan pitches right over the plate for a ball.

[boxter432]

And they score on it. Rocco should get tossed. Go fucking punch the ump. Do something.
Vazquez also a disaster back there.

[weimy froob]

now julien doesn't catch vazaquez's throw. the thing about that third strike that wasn't called was that most all the time if it's close it's called a strike even if it's outside the box. this one is inside the box and he calls it a ball. cost the twins a run.

[boxter432]

Wtf is the SS playing so far up the middle. It’s not even a spot that makes sense. Either it hits Ryan or there’s a giant hole between 2 and 3. Why are you standing behind second base.

God this team sucks at every aspect.

[weimy froob]

when it snows it pours.

[weimy froob]

if they can't light up flaherty it doesn't matter anyways.

[Hornets]

5 straight K's....put the damn bat on the ball.

[weimy froob]

time for buxton to do something.

[weimy froob]

byron buxton just struggles at the plate. period. doesn't matter if he's playing in the field or is a DH.

[weimy froob]

flaherty's thrown 70 pitches thru five innings. the automatic outs have been just that again.

[weimy froob]

the #5 hitter 24K/1BB with no HRs as well.

[The Real Ted]

What?!!! I thought the Twins were all set… because he’s healed now, they can count on him to play 150 plus games.

But then again… why the F would anyone want him to play 150+ games if he’s going to struggle to hit .200?

Anyone who is still optimistic about Buxton… it’s like they’ve only seen the 10 best games he’s ever played, where he looked like a first ballot Hall of Famer.

The struggling to hit .200 thing is nothing new… he’s had a lot of long assed stretches where he’s looked terrible, like they picked someone out of the crowd to try hitting against a MLB pitcher.

Like all of last year for example.

[weimy froob]

twins catch a massive break. need to make the tigers pay for that.

[feekdogg]

Whoops. Jim Leyland is rolling over in his grave.

the lack of power now though. michael a taylor would be a power improvement.

[feekdogg]

Gotta make contact, Alex.
