April 28, 20188 yr I come to the game thread with a heavy heart tonight. My friend Sal, who used to meet me for a beer most every afternoon, passed away yesterday. We had a deal...we both loved baseball soooo much, and we wondered whether there would be baseball in heaven. Our deal was, the first to die would come back and tell the other if there was baseball or not. Well, I got a visit from Sal this afternoon. "I have good news, and bad news, my friend," he told me. "The good news is, there IS baseball in heaven. The bad news is...you and I have box seat tickets to take in a doubleheader this Sunday."
April 28, 20188 yr During this 8 game losing streak, the Twins have given up 71 runs. 71! That's almost 9 a game. Go ahead and score 8 boys. We are still gonna lose more than we win giving up that many runs. Plus, when you lose 8 in a row, to make that up, you either have to win 8 in a row or win 28 of your next 40 or something like that.
April 28, 20188 yr Welp. We're about to lose 8 in a row, three to the Rays, one to Cincy. Not great at all.
April 28, 20188 yr Let’s all laugh because the reds are only going to have 5 wins for about 20 minutes longer

April 28, 20188 yr Welp. We're about to lose 8 in a row, three to the Rays, one to Cincy. Not great at all. Every team with a bad record is hoping to play the Twins soon.
April 28, 20188 yr Last season the Twins were a below .500 team with a bad run differential for nearly 2/3 of the season. They got hot at the right time and faced poor competition for the second wildcard spot.

April 28, 20188 yr Not even a marney appearance could make me feel better at this point/swat! Snap out of it, man!
April 28, 20188 yr Votto, who everyone brings up every time I complain about Mauer, has swung at the first pitch twice tonight. HR, double.
April 28, 20188 yr Any guesses on whether this losing streak hits double digits? I think it's a 50-50 proposition now.
April 28, 20188 yr I think hale ran out of gasHe's kind of stretched out now perfect to take Hughes spot in the rotation.
April 28, 20188 yr Trevor Hangingcurver for what I hope will be his last appearance of the year.We have quite a few pitchers right now that fit that 'hope will be his last appearance' category ... Hughes, Duffy, Hildenburger ... and who do we have to take their places?
April 28, 20188 yr What the heck is up with Hildy. Went from being a legit late inning option to an AAAA reliever.
April 28, 20188 yr What the heck is up with Hildy. Went from being a legit late inning option to an AAAA reliever. He needs to improve quite a bit to be a AAAA reliever.
April 28, 20188 yr Wonder how much of a say Justin has on roster moves. Going to guess not much. However, the reasoning of giving Hughes starts because he should get a chance to prove himself is wrong. He has faced two of the worst lineups in the league and got rocked.
