What are the announcers gonna talk about with no shadows and no sweepers?

If the Twins start striking out again, it'll be because they got used to the shadows, and now they're gone.  Watch.

Oof. Not a great start

[Js1 85,449]

Cool cool cool

They are booing Yordan?  WTF???

Also, where the hell is the pitch clock in the graphics?

He hit 4 HR in 3 games against them. What do you expect?

[TexArcher 37,989]

Nice of him to jog and admire that so he ended up on 2nd instead of 3rd.

[UTexasFight 9,517]

Fuck yes 

Priming the pump for another WS MVP.

starting with the glove

Pena showin some skills

[Rip76 4,946]

What a play

[WBT 20,643]

Polanco did not in fact hit it hard.  71 mph off the bat.

[Guest]

perfect baserunning...just bad luck for the Twins.

 

Partially true, but also LOLz at the excuses.

[Lat22 4,015]

Wow. Last time I heard a crowd get quiet that fast was…….never fucking mind. 

[Scraps 13,570]

Perfect baserunning!!!!

Except he got out bruh

[Rip76 4,946]

Good thing for the double play

[UTexasFight 9,517]

I’ve seen better haircut on monks than whatever is going on with Julien’s hair 

[David Dennison 18,940]

He could not be pitching worse.

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

Well at least it wasn't a 3 run HR. Urquidy is throwing meatballs

[Mitch Hedberg 2,090]

Damn! Peña has earned some leeway at the plate with that glove. Now if he stops looking like Tarzan and hitting like Jane I may literally love him.

Problem is Dusty usually leaves them in until they bleed out and put the game out of range before making a change.  He is the anti-AJ Hinch...

[UTexasFight 9,517]

Middle middle change up on 1-2 is a bad move

It's been BP with fatter pitches. 

[kevwun 15,811]

I would bet we see France before long.

[Mo Horn 8,852]

Could have been worse

He'll be alright.  That was good hitting by Lewis...he was fooled and out in front.  Julien's should have been caught/perfectly split the gap and Polanco's was a weak humpback liner.

[Mitch Hedberg 2,090]

Damnit Maldy! We were told you always call the right pitches and these things don’t happen.

I could see that with the other pitchers but i dont think he will do that tonight. France better not get too comfortable in the pen

Yeah, it might have been the plan all along to go to him by the 4th or 5th.

[Scraps 13,570]

UNC

[WBT 20,643]

Uncle Mike!!

Dad fixed him up on the off day.

[Pimphand 5,812]

Glad we got Brantley back he feels like the missing link that gives us a chance this year vs 2022 with how everyone else has regressed on the mound.

I'm just not that fan.  Yordan never says shit to anyone.  He's one of the great hitters in the game.  I don't get the booing unless Twins fans are just that massively insecure.

Joe Kelly?  yeah, I'm booing maybe, but not the class players.
