Also, it’s about time to move on from Pineda.

Contenders don’t allow charity cases to try and revive their careers

Adrianza has to go.

Guy can’t even take pitches much less hit.

Well, Rosario hit a homer at least. Hopefully that helps wake him up.

Polanco with a big night that hopefully has him fully awoken as well.

Great win. Can Perez stay a legit top 3 starter all year? Not sure, but man he looks good right now.

Really want to sweep this series. Would make up for the awful 4 gamer at home vs these guys.

I have to say I am impressed so far by Odo and Perez. Who would have guessed it? Lets hope they can maintain it thru the majority of the season. It could take the sting out of not signing a proven starter during FA.

Maybe when Sano gets back, Adriana gets demoted. But damn, our hitters rock. Seems every guy we signed, and hoped would have a bounce back year, so far has. Even Buxton. If Sano can contribute, what an offense we would have! Very enjoyable so far.

Another W.

Great start by Jose. Garv Sauce just keeps raking. Couple minor things.

1. When opposing pitcher has 31 pitches in the first inning. Don’t start swinging at everything. Awful Abs tonight, luckily Garver hit the hanger. Sanchez threw like 60 pitches over the last 6

2. It worked, but Berrios is supposedly our ace and our bullpen is shaky at best. Why is he not pitching the 8th with only 92 pitches?

Magic number went down by 2!!

If Gonzalez and Rosario start hitting, and Sano has a strong season, this could be a damn good lineup....but it's one long season, so I'll keep my fingers crossed.

If I added correctly...a big if...the Twins didn't have 22 wins last year until May 28th.

I’m hoping the lineup will take off even more with consistent weather.

It’s a dangerous group. The only downside is so many guys are prone to slumps due to aggressive approaches and the fact basically our whole lineup is made up of good not great hitters.

Just imagine plugging prime Joe Mauer into the 2 or 3 spot... @Nosferatu

They'll also be going for their 5th series sweep of the season... already.

Just imagine Nos as a little league baseball coach scolding an innocent child for having good ABs and hitting for historic averages.

A man out to ruin dreams.

Has the kid made over $200,000,000 in his little league career? Has the kid ever lead his team to a little league playoff victory?

Maybe 30 pitches is the magic number...? :noidea: Guess we'll find out as this game progresses.

If he's okay with playing soccer I don't want him on my baseball team!
