Game Thread Twins @ Royals 1910 cdt 4/20/2022 ad

[Squirrel]

Well ... at least this game will be under 3 hrs ... but it still felt like twice that much

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Weak

[RpR]

The Twins are confused, they are catching up to the Royals in strike outs, they forgot it is supposed to be runs scored.

[Aggies7]

Correa looks like he’d rather be on another planet if it meant not being on this team. Not that he’s helping at all 

[RpR]

WHAT?

No pitcher change?

[twinssporto]

I forgot I need to do the game thread opener tomorrow...Any suggestions on topics? 

I think I'm developing writers block about this team.

One idea...Maybe just a link to Rick Astley's video and the lineups???

My interest declined significantly after the chance of a rainout slipped away from the Twins.

Nooooooooo!

Anything but. How about Kierkegaard's teleological suspension of the ethical?

[Mill1634]

O/U 12.5 pitches in the top of the 9th?

[RpR]

Twins will take a 3-2 lead in the ninth and then Baldelli will bring in Duffy.

That's just your sanity's sense of self-preservation kicking in.

This might be the topic for tomorrows game thread. Thanks for the inspiration!!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Easy flies and easy ground hops, all night long. Nothing difficult for KC, at all. Unbelievable. 

[David HK]

Cripes, the Meth Brothers Barlow and Staumont are really cookin' our lineup.

It's like Twins hitters had too much sudafed.

Tomorrow is World Creativity and Innovation Day...

But don't let that make you feel pressured to be... I dunno... creative or innovative or whatever.

I’ve stayed out of the fire Falvey discussions. But if this team is out of the picture after the first month of the year yet again, I think it’s fair to start questioning whether him and Levine are the ones to lead us out of the darkness. 

IMO People need to start aiming their ire towards Falvine rather than Baldelli/hitting coach/3rd base coach/pitching coach.

[Halsey Hall]

Do we have a hitting coach?

[shortround81]

I feel like Dick Bremer has reached Jeb Bush's "please clap" level of despair with the lack of offense tonight. I hope Roy gives him a hug

Listen buddy. I'm a mile wide and an inch deep on a million different topics.?

It pays to have a strong bullpen full of young studs like the Royals do... yet here we are, still waiting for our pitching prospects to develop while trading or letting go our good relievers.

[LaBombo]

At least the Twins finished the loss efficiently with that GDP...

[Aggies7]

We’re terrible haha

[Brock Beauchamp]

Blech. I'm starting to get the feeling I'll be watching a lot more Brewers games than Twins games as this season progresses...

[tarheeltwinsfan]

Rats. This hole is getting deeper and deeper.

[Mill1634]

Unbelievable. I just wanted a team that gave me excitement through the summer months. They didn't need to win the world series or even the division. But I just wanted excitement like 2019. Instead, they play a terrible brand of baseball and have me disinterested on April 20th.

 

Until tomorrow, 

Go Twins

I mean the bullpen didn’t give up a run. It’s the hitting that is so darn anemic 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Couldn’t have scripted a more appropriate ending to this hellscape of a game: a candy-hop grounder to the third baseman for a 5-4-3 game-ending double play. (Added bonus: hit into by a player the Twins just traded for.)
