Here's their chance... if they're gonna score, time to do it now.

How did Mauer get to third on that, but Plouffe couldn't get to second? Did it kick out towards second?

Trevor was winking at a girl in the stands. Or maybe it was a guy. That's cool, too.

No, kicked towards first.

 

juuuuuust not deep enough for park.

oof shallow fly to center, Mauer chooses not to tag. I would have liked him to tag up but the throw was on the money and he would have been out.

 

renowned contact hitter Eddie Rosario comes to the plate 

ROSARIO...please

Oh, **** it. Just run, Joe. There is literally NOTHING to lose with this offense.

Not watching. Following game day. Why didn't mauer score just then?

Let's make contact - clap, clap, clapclapclap

agree. Maybe the catcher doesn't handle a short hop or something.

I love that this team is getting booed off the field during the home opener.

Because he didn't touch home plate before being tagged.

Another missed opportunity. Someone, somewhere has to be the man to break whatever is hanging over their heads.

Would you just die already?

very shallow fly ball to direct center field. Like, very shallow.

 

Throw home would have got him but you never know, maybe the catcher misses the hop?

STILL DEAD OVER HERE.

 

(I'm talking about the offense.)

 

Would you just die already?

Already dead. Take it up with the afterlife.

The Twins RISP must be astronomically low at this point. I wonder if it's reached the .050 range?

I'm not surprised that the fans are booing. I would be doing the same thing if I was in the stadium today. This game is UGLY!!!

 

ROSARIO...pleas

Fixed it for u

It's astounding.

Everyone knows that Sano is a bigger letdown right now than Park, correct?  Pitchers are literally throwing him meatballs, dead-red, at 90-91 and he can't catch up to them.

That's actually wrong. Boo any time, but not the Home Opener!

The Twins have never started 0-7*

 

*though there is a first time for everything.

We all are facing reality. And it sucks.

 

We just don't need to face it every third post.

 

kthanks.

Alright and I don't like the corny "it's early were fine!" Posts either

I feel you but the crowd has been pretty tame all things considered. I don't know what it is. I'm a twins/Vikings fan living in PA. The Vikings get booed all the time, even when winning. I don't understand what the deal is that lets the twins get off relatively easily. This sort of play would never pass on this coast. Remember poor Charlie Manuel? Out the door a few years removed from a title. Not saying that's the right way to go about things, but seats should be getting hot under some coaches, players and executives. But it's not and we continue to show up and watch so nothing changes. This is unacceptable on every level. The team is apparently leaderless in the clubhouse and front office.

Modcon, 2016.  See if you can pick out ChiTown.

There she is!

 

And there you have it... nothing. Wow, this is one BAD team. Either that, or this is an all time slump by a good team. I'm guessing the former...

Worst team I've seen In a while.

maybe the fans are saying "brrr"?

Not on the Home Opener.

 

It's an unwritten rule out here in flyover.

 

Take it up on the Unwritten Rules thread.

 

Maybe the White Sox will pull a Jordan Spieth today
