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 87305]

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 39079]

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

[UTexasFight 9821]

Fuck yes 

Priming the pump for another WS MVP.

starting with the glove

Pena showin some skills

[Rip76 5022]

What a play

[WBT 21001]

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 4100]

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

[Scraps 13813]

Perfect baserunning!!!!

Except he got out bruh

[Rip76 5022]

Good thing for the double play

[UTexasFight 9821]

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

[David Dennison 19571]

He could not be pitching worse.

[perfectchaos007 6780]

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

[Mitch Hedberg 2117]

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 9821]

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

It's been BP with fatter pitches. 

[kevwun 16449]

I would bet we see France before long.

[Mo Horn 8943]

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 2117]

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.

Precessional Hitter !!!!!!!!!

[Rip76 5022]

Professional Hitter!

[rvm96 1643]

I hear that guy is a professional hitter

[Scraps 13813]

UNC

[WBT 21001]

Uncle Mike!!

Dad fixed him up on the off day.

[Pimphand 6382]

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.
