Now I am reminded why I haven't watched the Twins since the last game of the Cleveland series. Off to do something more productive now.

unfrickingbelieveable. This team is not serious until they acquire some real pitching

Bro they would have to acquire like 6 decent pitchers to legitimately contend. It ain’t happening this year

Walking the 9 hole hitter. Interesting strategy. 

It really worked well.

Inconceivable that we’re this bad at holding leads

Why? When was the last time the Twins had a reliable pitching staff

Over the last week the staff has IMMEDIATELY surrendered multiple run leads.

Indeed. As well as could be hoped.

The pitching whisperers need to talk louder.

Guys, Dylan Bundy isn't part of the pitching pipeline. He's just a placeholder. Now, I'm not here to argue whether or not the pitching pipeline actually exists. I'm just saying that Bundy isn't part of it.

I think when people say we have a pitching pipeline, they mean the same pipe that Andy dufresne crawled through in Shawshank

In the 60 game season? That’s funny

But he and a few others wouldn’t still be here if we had competent people in house to replace him

I don't think I'm giving credit for a 60 game "season."

 

Which, BTW, didn't result in much.

Twins starters were good through 60 this season too

[Aggies7]

When you’re counting the days until Bailey Over’s rehab is over, you’ve got some problems

In the 2019 season as well ?‍♂️

Again game after game pitching so careful to 8-9 batters often walks then hurt by the top of the lineup.  I can’t understand it.  And Jeffers not having the insight to pull up and avoid a DP and running right into it.  

[KirbyDome89]

At least Dunning is just as terrible. Real war of attrition out there today...

[MMMordabito]

Texas has Cracker Jills? Jack and Jill went up the hill both with a buck and a quarter. Jill came down with $2.50.

Let's hope we also end up in Zijuanteneyo.

Thanks now I've got that Cyndi Lauper song in my head!

Stepped away with the score 3-0 thinking this game is safe, totally shocked to see it 3-3. Just shocking.

I'm calling BS on you actually thinking that was a safe lead.
