It's like Mauer can't really see the ball well again.... and he's not talking.

I don’t see much difference.

Twins game looks like a real hootenanny tonight!

 

Are there any coaches left to tell him not to?

Winner.

Well, we've figured out what happens when the Eddies cool off. This atrocity.

 

And as mentioned earlier, Mauer's been awful at the plate since his return. He's hit just .158 and when paired with zero power... it'd be a bigger problem if everyone else wasn't terrible. 

 

Not sure if Polanco's going to be able to take Adrianza's spot, as his bat has been surprisingly solid this season. He could probably DH the first week and take Morrison's PAs.

Hey... when did playing a catcher, or any position player, out of position, ever bother the Twins Way, anyway? It is still common for the Twins to bring someone up, and then play him at a position he hasn't been playing, or never has played, and then ask him to do it in the show.

 

If they play Astudillo out of position enough to make it his new position, then when they bring him up and he plays catcher, they will be following their MO and playing him out of position by having him catch again. It all makes Twinsense to me.

Hate to say it...but it sure looks like the MOY has lost the team...Dozier = lifeless, takes strike 3 and ho-hums his way to the dugout...baserunner gets picked and wanders off the field

 

Gargoyles be damned, most players look like they're going through the motions...time for a change

Pressly looks to be toast

I thought we were joking about making Pressly's arm fall off, but clearly the team is intent that happening literally.

Hey look...it’s the seldom used Ryan Pressly.

Pressly = worthless for the last month.

Mauer continues to destroy the ball this evening. Those have got to be the four weakest contacts I've seen from him.

  

It's like Mauer can't really see the ball well again.... and he's not talking.

Obviously he's not seeing the ball well, he has weak contacts, keep up.

I just remembered we have a 9 man bullpen and we're using Pressly on back-to-back games down 5 runs...

 

   

I don’t see much difference.

Only taken 4 called strikes in four at-bats. Clearly something’s wrong.

Can’t over work Belisle.

 

AARP would be all over you if you did.

 

Bah dum tschhh

That's not very mod-like of you.

You know how on the gameday they have that long list of defensive substitutions sometimes?

 

I was just imagining one that read something like "entire Twins lineup substituted by Rochester team. I mean, AAA team are no great shakes, but heck, I'd bet some of those boys would at least look like they're TRYING.

In a season of disappointments, tonight might be the low point. Embarrassed by James Shields and the Chicago White Sox.

Except.... their averages are worse than the Twins! It's the overall remake of the organization that has been so successful!

Hey! 

 

I actually got to smile and laugh at something during this awful game!

 

You need to trademark Twinsense™  ASAP.

 

Let's see... I think the dictionary definition would be something like: "The propensity to do the exact opposite thing as normal logic would dictate, as if one were intentionally trying to muck up a given situation."

Arkansas with the Twin-like misplay on foul pop up...will Larnach get a chance to be a hero...

 

Larnach up with go ahead run on first...

 

There's HOPE....2-run Bomb (look Joe he pulled it down the line)

Ozzie wouldn't put up with that *bleep* for a second.

Bring back Ozzie! If for nothing else, he's entertaining. Maybe not always in a good way...

Can’t make it up. Rochester is the worse hitting team by a mile in the International League.

Yowza!  Larnach delivers!  

 

Hurry up, get that series over, and get the kid to Mpls ASAP! 

 

 

Someone put us out of our misery. Please. Kill this with fire immediately

Dumpster fire!

Geez, just realized Molitor can't get blamed for overworking Pressly tonight.

So this must be systematic abuse?

 

Adley named New lineup plan for rest of the season

C - Play Garver daily

1B - Allow Joe to end the year where he belongs (on the DL with some kind of symptoms)

2B - Gordon

SS - Polanco (until he builds trade value above Dominican prescription)

3B - Austidillo

CF - Nothing (Buston)

RF - But (Kepler)

LF - Raindrops (Rosario - tears after watching baserunning)

DH - Larnach

 

#RushforRutschman

Why Morrison? Garver should pinch hit.

Morrison is just like Wilson. Both of them are among the worst and need to be released. Replace an automatic out with another. What a joke!

I would say Molitor has lost this team.

 

The team is flailing and seems to have resigned themselves to their fate.

 

Good grief.

 

The FO made some decent moves to improve the team and, instead, the team is worse. 

 

Uggh.
