Please protect our baby boy

Luis Arraez, you sweet child. You alluring flora. 

Stuck in the desolate wasteland of a five-game losing streak, pushing the entirety of shitty-Twins-Twitter to the brink, you are our reminder to never read the comments. 

When the April wind howls through Target Field, and the Summit EPA freezes to our collective mustaches, you are the orange sun beating down to warm our paws. When Jorge Polanco bats the Mendoza line and Miguel Sano says “hold my beer,” you bat 1.000 to keep Minnesota together for the kids. 

You yearning hope. You mysterious fox.

Luis Arráez started his Zoom for calling out ⁦@DanHayesMLB⁩, and finished it by again telling him not to fall asleep before walking off.

Love this quote from Luis Arraez on his seventh-inning home run:

"I touched his hands and then I said, 'Nellie give me a little pop. Give me a little pop.' And then I think he gave me a lot of pop for the homer."

The at-bat before Luis Arraez hit his home run he squeezed Nelson Cruz and asked him for his power. Nelson said ok — the power is yours...and boom! He hit a homer. #MNTwins
