Hey, Todd didn't make an out!

Renteria needs to have a chat with Jose about his future as a DH.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 8, 2017 -> 01:27 PM) I don't care if this comes back to bite me, but I think Saladino is a legit everyday major leaguer player. He's a much better hitter than a lot of posters give him credit for. I agree.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 09:27 PM) So much for Byron carrying over his hot ending to last year. They will be 4-0 with Dozier and Buxton both scuffling. Positive sign for MN. And that outfield defense in LF and CF can make up for lots of pitching mistakes. the difference in the game is mostly defense. Buxton kept the Twins in it early.

Would you rather have Buxton or TA? Tough call but I'd have to go TA.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 09:21 PM) It's just frustrating that we always look lost. Like watching beer league softball. Avi and Jose are the prime culprits and both should be out of the field one way or the other next year, thank god.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 09:18 PM) Benetti just needs to focus on talking about baseball and not make 50 corny jokes a game. He's much better announcing football and basketball where he's more serious yup.

god damnit. Kepler robs TA of a triple probably and an RBI.

Good take.

Oh man meatball served up on the 1st pitch and TA fouls it back.

Tyler is making a case early to get rid of Todd (or move him to 1B) as soon as Moncada comes up. I think Tyler might have a "breakout" year.

another loud out to CF, damn.

QUOTE (b-Rye @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 08:29 PM) Worst defense I've ever seen, looks like my softball team. 100+ losses easy. Well, they are pretty solid up the middle and on the left side. The right side of the diamond however is a train wreck outside of Tyler.

I've never seen a MLB 1B that has so many problems catching routine balls.

Then he does that, lol.

Helluva scoop by Jose.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 08:20 PM) Moncada has another single...think that's 7 Encouraging start from Fulmer too. So far, the kids look pretty good.

Look how much easier the Twins RF made that play look.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 08:12 PM) The swirling wind brought it back into fair territory and away from Abreu. I think Avi Garcia thought he was going to collide with Jose Avi just lumbers. Didn't look like he called it either. That's Avi's ball 100% even if it stays foul Abreu shouldn't even be in the area frankly.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 08:10 PM) Garcia is just the bane of my existence. He's everything you dont want in a baseball player. He's value is never going to be anywhere good enough because his defensive value is in the absolute s***ter. It's amazingly bad. I've defended this guy so much over the past few years. Can't do it anymore.

All the 2nd hand does on a play like that is get in your way. You can tell Avi plays with zero confidence defensively. You don't need two hands, this isn't little league.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 08:06 PM) I know it's a rebuild...whats the point of having Garcia in the OF? losing -- seriously, that's all I got.

I'm sick of Avi, DFA him. That is not a hard play.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 08:57 PM) Anderson needs to work on laying off the high pitch Yes he does.

Huh, SS was playing well in the hole and couldn't get it, we'll take it. 1-0 Sox.
