Just a thought...should they consider McCann behind the plate for Giolito?

Grandal hasn’t been great behind the plate tonight. 
 

Ump has been worse.  Goddamn. 

Pitch framing he’s been good. On his knees, bad.

And I’m just gonna come out and say it...

GET THIS FUCKER OUT.

McCann should  always catch Giolito.

Madrigal should be on the 30 man and starting at second.

Game is in Marshall's hands. Unreal...

 

FUCK. 

Had to be said. 
 

ok bats, pick up your team again...

There was not a scenario in the world they weren’t showing off their new toys on the first game

We need too sign Bartolo Colon so he can eat these innings.

Drives me insane he’s batting 4th 

He should be hitting 5th, 6th or 7th imo

I'd even take him 2nd

Anderson, Grandal, Eloy, Moncada, Encarnacion, Robert, Abreu, Mazara, Madrigal

Let's not forget the Twins can hit, except against the Yankees. If you make mistakes, you will pay. And we made plenty of them and paid. Thankfully, we have a real offense now.

Yoan before Eloy

3.5 of innings played and we’re an hour and 40 minutes in. This is nuts.

I was trying a little R/L/R/L/R to start but as I said earlier I don't care that much, so I'm good with Yoan then Eloy

You get the extra year of control. The end.

They really want you to think the only thing holding Nicky back was a bum shoulder

Seen enough of Nicky he is not even AAA material

Yeah, I know Mazara has had a disappointing career, but give me him over Delmonico.

Yeah someone said earlier he hits Berrios well. It was probably a fluke or when he actually could hit. 

Not sure I’ll be able to take this 8 9 combo for another 6 games.

Benetti and Chuck are way too friendly with Delmonico. They act more like his agent than a broadcaster.

Oh yeah, where's Madrigal?  Would've liked him at 2B in that first inning.

He was 3 for 8 with a home run against him coming into today if I recall correctly.

Brutal start from Gio. That’s all I got, obvious as hell but my god was that deflating

He just didn't have it today. Terrible location and Leury's defense in the 1st didn't help.

Jace Fry...OK it's either a K or a BB coming...any guesses?
