Game Thread Twins vs Guardians 6/21/22 6:40 PM CDT

[Mill1634]

Kirilloff will be hitting cleanup by the end of the week. He's the best LHH on the roster besides Arraez. 

[mnfireman]

Why aren't Larnach and Gordon the DH and LF tonight??

[stringer bell]

Offense so far looks……….offensive.

Civale has given up an OPS of over 1.000 against RHH

Civale has reverse splits. Also, the Twins will be facing three righties in the series, so finding the alternate right handed hitters a start might make sense. 

[Tlaker]

Civale looks like a world beater so far……offense sleep walking again 

[LVTwinsfan]

I like how Kiriloff ran the runner down

2 innings

[Dave The Dastardly]

A pickoff! Wish I was watching and not listening.

[Azviking101]

Lazy defense, lazy at bats. What are they even doing lately?

[Mill1634]

zero excuse for that to be a double with the fastest player in CF...

[stringer bell]

Nice they got the pickoff, still Ramírez makes this a high-stress at bat for Ryan vs. Naylor. 

[Mill1634]

Sigh. The Twins have ZERO energy

[Aggies7]

I miss the old Joe Ryan 

[stringer bell]

Wake up guys!

Reflect their lifeless manager

[RickOShea]

JC, will smalley shut the hell up for a while.  He's trying to make for time wasn't doing broadcasts.  but, he just goes on and on.

[bighat]

5Ks in the first 9 batters for Civale. First time the guy's pitched in a month and he's got a 7.84 ERA.

This team straight up can't hit.

 

[LVTwinsfan]

Jeffers playing umpire instead of being a hitter

He's my least favorite Twins announcer, and it really isn't close. 

[Mill1634]

What a lifeless performance through 3. I'm fine with losing this game/series, but it would be great to see SOMEONE look like they cared a little bit. 

[Aggies7]

I’m sure the offense will come around eventually, right?

because Cleveland is a good team. It isn't like when we lost 4 of 5 against Detroit. Don't confuse "fine" with "want."

The twins have their “best” pitchers going this series, at home. Anything less than 2 out of 3 would be a big disappointment 

[garn from vancouver]

well... being second in the central won't be so bad...right?

meh. losing 2 out of 3 in baseball is never that big of a deal, regardless of matchups. it's not like Ryan and Gray are prime Verlander and Cole. Both are beatable/have their off nights. However, I do agree that 2 out of 3 is what should be EXPECTED.
