vs. TWINS, 4/04 (Opening Day)

[LA2]

I started watching in the 6th. Have there been any cut-aways to Kim?

[allquixotic]

Keep him for the seventh or go with Bundy/Brach?

Givens is amazing but I also want to see Bundy play. He's got amazing upside for the O's and needs the opportunities in the ML. Worst case he becomes the next O'Day. Best case he starts.

I'd cringe to see Brach on opening day though.

Not so much as a word about him, nope.

Culling Britton's price but exploding Givens'.

He'd still make league minimum next year.

20 mph differential on Abad's change-up!

Worst case is his elbow or shoulder acts up again.

Or a meteor strike.

I'm pleasantly surprised with all the walks this game.

That would seem to me, as someone who never played the game at a high level, to be too much differential to deceive MLB hitters.

[Winter]

a schoop walk on opening day!

Looks like it was Jason Grilli who blew the save.

Gnats lost? :rofl:

REAL NSFW! Nor safe for home or your daughters or even sons. Danger Will Robinson!

If Givens keeps throwing like this, he might just be Britton's successor.

The Twins really don't look all that great early on this year.

They kind of came out of nowhere last year, and ended up missing the playoffs anyway. They've got a terrific young outfield in Rosario-Buxton-Sano but Buxton has yet to prove he can hit. Beyond that... not much really. Their pitching is ok, but not great... Mauer doesn't have the value at 1B he did at C... Dozier cooled way off after the all-star break. I can imagine a scenario or two where they end up finishing last in the AL Central.

[LA2]

Wow that second pitch from Abad was the slowest I've seen in a long time. Since Steve Hamilton or Stu.

[scOtt]

Joey! Joey!

[barellano]

Rickard getting a standing O and his name chanted on opening day. That's gotta be surreal for him.
