Twins drill like five balls against crap pitchers: out

 

Rosario dribbles a ball right down the middle against a good pitcher: safe

I’m making a call here

I"m going to make the same comment I make several times a year:

 

In an age when front offices are talking almost a completely different game than what existed 30 years ago, why do announcers continue to EVER use the phrase "at-bat" when referencing a player total?

I’m making a call here

For pizza, I meant.

For pizza, I meant.

For the win!

Ooh, Magill for Parker!

Ugh. As much as I blast Sano, that PA was bull****. Miguel held fast with borderline pitches and had them called against him (one wildly out of the zone, the other borderline at best).

Finally, Arraez gets into the game?

I'm making a call here! Arraez goes yard!!!

Not to be flippant or negative, but it's funny how these things work themselves out

Damn, this kid is a ****ing gamer.

Place Schoop on the 60 day IL!

That pinch hit situation is about as close to Pipp-Gehrig as you can get

HE ****ING WALKED THAT'S AMAZING

Great AB by Arraez.

That guy needs to be in there every game

Yeah Garver!!!!

Here we go. 

Place Schoop on the 60 day IL!

Lets all pretend there was no injury, and Baldelli just decided to send in Arraez to pinch hit in that spot!

Yeah Marwin!!!

Woohooo now 1-8 with RISP, but no ribbie still

That was fortunate.

No matter what happens, this is fun.

Bum-bas, can’t get a big hit to save their lives

That was ball 4. 

Bah, well, it was a good time.

Yup Ball 4 mr. cruz

The streak of RISP-lessness continues. Ugh. The pitching has done most everything they've needed to win games recently, but the hitters...

That Arraez walk was probably the most entertaining walk I have seen all year. Too bad Cruz swung at that last ball. Ugh. Brutal way to lose. 

Yes there was bad luck, but overall this was another poor performance against a bad team. Now 9-8 since June 1 against sub .500 teams. Better wake up fast fellas
