Great quick inning. Twins way off-balance.

This is the best I've seen his change-up.

That was a nice slider on strike 1 to Donaldson

Yep after hanging the other ones he threw that inning

Lopez at least has looked solid enough today. he should be able to get 5 innings in for sure, maybe 6. Hopefully, he can keep runs to 2 total, and sox have a fighting chance.

Nice quick 123 inning for Lopez.

Any time bats want to make Maeda work would be great...

I feel like Dyson and Madrigal, against a guy like Maeda, might match up well. If Robert could get on, they might have something cooking

We’re getting two runs or more this inning.

Ok that ump is a little much

Finally doesn’t chase and gets aced

Maeda is dominating 

Luis flailed at a non-competitive pitch and looks at a slider right on the corner.

They can’t keep taking first pitch fastball down the plate 

watches 91 in the zone and chases the slider.  I don't get it.

Adam Dunn hitting for us now

I thought Robert's take was actually fine. just a good pitch.

Abreu did the same

The problem is that he swung at a pitch a foot out of the zone right before it.

If that's the game plan, it sure isn't working.

Wearing out the outside edge

Blazing offense.

Stop hitting fly balls Nicky

What a stupid opinion. You're a moron

It's a good pitcher. What did you expect them to light him up? 

36 pitches through 3.  This is going great.

We may be pressing a bit and swinging for the fences too much. Slow it down and start getting some runners on by being patient. Take some walks and get some base hits. It’s still early.

It’s a lineup with 3 guys who aren’t slumping. Gonna have to win a low scoring game.

You might get two runs off Madea but no mistakes are allowed.
