Does that merit giant capital letters?!?!?

hello?  Is this thing on?

Hello. 

Did we win yet?

 

Are we having fun yet?

This hardy guy is baffling the twins. They’d have an easier time solving this riddle

LoMo trying to get tossed here

LoMo trying to get tossed here

that was my thought

 

This Minnesota United FC manager, think he has any clue what’s going on with this game?

He sees the home team trailing 2-0, with offense in short supply. I'd say he recognizes the situation.

Once he argued like that, I knew LoMo would K. But at least he made it last a while

 

Only the 4th inning, but the top 5 exit velocities tonight would all have to belong to the Tigers, I would think.

Concur.

 

I know Berrios has some K's, but he's not been very good at all tonight. He's missing with everything, particularly breaking stuff. He's lucky it's not worse.

LeBlanc, Suter, and now Hardy? No-name soft-tossing lefties giving the Twins tons of trouble recently.

2-0 is a big lead in (real) football ... or against the Twins.

nah. one field goal you're trailing 3-2.

Yeah but the guys who throw fast also hurt us

No clue. But it’s a nice night in a great facility, and there’s beer.

Jamie Moyer pitching this week?

Yeah, but the worse part is they're pitching blindfolded.

I've now seen that Mauer/Berrios/TCBear poker game ad at least 20 times and I STILL have absolutely no clue what the **** I'm supposed to be getting from it.

 

None. 

 

 

2-0 is a big lead in (real) football ... or against the Twins.

Not if you’re Liverpool.

OK, let's put together an inning here.

 

 

2-0 is a big lead in (real) football ... or against the Twins.

There's the Twins world and then there's the real world.

 

OK. I know 2-0 seems insurmountable with this offense right now, but if the Twins can just have some patience at the plate this can be overcome.

That is just atrocious by adrianza

Attaboy Grossie (with a nod to Ron Gardenhire).

LOL that's some fine baseballin' right there

How to kill a rally in 90 seconds

Buxton has OPS.397 right now. DFA him.

Not much in the patience from Adrianza and Buxton there.

Of all the things that worry me about Buxton, that AB demonstrates what I think is the worst.

 

He went up there guessing FB (which I have zero problem with, in fact I wish he do more of it), got it--right in the whomp em zone--put what looked like an aggressive swing on it, and popped up to shallow left.

 

He does so little damage on the pitches he actually DOES make contact on.

 

Buxton has OPS.397 right now. DFA him.

 

Or use the DH for him and let the pitchers bat.

Concur.

 

I know Berrios has some K's, but he's not been very good at all tonight. He's missing with everything, particularly breaking stuff. He's lucky it's not worse.

64 pitches. 43 strikes. 3 hits, 1 walk in 5 IP.

 

The Twins need more of their starters to struggle like this.
