Well Duran took care of that ?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Yeay! Kept it tied.

[mrtwinsfan]

Now lets score and end this nightmare in Baltimore

[brycenation]

Yes.

 

 

 

You were right.

It would be wrong.

But such things have been known to happen.

It is official?

 

Or is there just a river on the way to their next game?

[PDX Twin]

GIDP seems to be what the Twins are best at.

[mrtwinsfan]

Alot of urshelas a.b. he has zero patience,  and maybe try the other side of thee field  ?  he does with no one at first, idk ??

[bighat]

This team grounds into more double plays and runs into more outs at home than any Twins team I can remember. They just kill themselves on the basepaths.

I'm starting to think the job is Miranda's for the taking. Urshela looks washed out.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Larnach time?

Guess not yet....

[Winston Smith]

Sac Kepler over you have a run now. Nope must keep racking up dp's.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Calling Miranda’s first career Homer.

[Aggies7]

Splitting this series should calm down some of those expectations for a bit

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And the bowl of petunias thought "not again"

[twins_89]

Ushela is looking like a placeholder whose time is quickly running out. He's last on the team in position player WPA and he came into tonight with a .221 OPS over his last 7 games (with both his WPA and OPS numbers going down again tonight). I'm wondering if Miranda takes over 3B when Kirilloff comes off the IL.

[Aggies7]

4 innings from the starter. Asking too many relievers to be on.

[Aggies7]

Wow, Duran knocked around

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Duran getting the hook…

[Mill1634]

Splitting with the O's is far from a disaster, but the Twins have to take 2 out of 3 from Oakland now, especially without facing Montas.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Why wasn’t Duran challenging them with 100+ there?

If we came back to take this game, would that raise expectations again?

I want my inflated expectations back.

[Sielk]

As good as that splinker is, it's also hittable when left in the middle of the zone. He has done that a few times, not only today. And that's also where most of the damage against him has come.

[MMMordabito]

Lose a game, lose your shortstop and get a bunch of COVID. Fun day.

Thad is now on with him. Pretty cool

Has there been on confirmation on Provus? Gladden hasn’t mentioned him in the several innings I’ve heard. Seems like if it was a routine vacation-type absence, it would be noted. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Roccos Fault ?
