Twins (Varland) vs Brewers (Junis): 4/2/24, 3:10pm

[dlk9s]

I like Chourio's reaction to the ump calling an obvious ball a strike. It was basically, "Ok, so that's how it's gonna be."

[MoreTrife]

Frelick strugglesville.

[Simba2020]

Molitor led off basically from the get go. Don't really see the reason why Chourio shouldn't be doing the same. 

[owbc]

What an awesome piece of hitting by Chourio. Nods his head after getting the rookie strike zone from the ump and is ready for Varland when he tries to throw it to the same spot again. 

[adambr2]

Frelick isn't the guy in this lineup to lead off.

[HarryDoyle]

Can't let the Brewers get too far ahead, can you ump?

Yeah....we're getting another comp pick next year!

No we're not. Unless Ortiz, Black, Misiorowski, or Quero (rising from the dead) win ROY. 

[HarryDoyle]

Junis is looking like a #2 today.

[Brewcrew82]

2018-2019 Yeli to start the year. 

[HarryDoyle]

Is 2018 Yelich back? I hope so.

[Bulldogboy]

Yeli with that old man strength this year.

[HarryDoyle]

Man I thought Varland was going to be unhittable with that wicked cutter in the first inning.

[Team Canada]

Who is this player and where has he hidden Brice Turang?

[markedman5]

Look at Turang!

[Zad Fnark]

Turang's turning into a hitting machine.

Frelick and Turang switched bodies for a few days.

[KeithStone53151]

If Turang can hit, and Junis is a number 2 starter(I was and am very pessimistic on Junis)...my 74 win prediction is going to look very very silly.

And why can't get get it for Chourio?

And how would any of those qualify? They weren't on the opening day roster.

He's played 3 games this year. Lets...give him a little time.

[KeithStone53151]

This is one sample, but Junis struggles the second time through the order to this point are what I expected. That slider heavy thing, with it being a good pitch, makes hitters uncomfortable the first time. But second at bat, they'll be way more ready for it.

[markedman5]

Chourio has to be smarter 

 

goid job Junis to not make it hurt

[HarryDoyle]

Good thing for Chourio that Jimmy Dugan isn't the manager.

He signed an extension nefore debuting. You just have to PPI eligible and acrue 172 days in your rookie campaign to be eligible for the pick. (Season is 183 days)

A walk and a blooper in that inning……

I find it annoying but charming.  Didn't cost us a run anyway.
