Buxton on base.

Where he will likely stay until the end of the inning.

Also, over 100 pitches which I thought was illegal.

Well, you know it's Cali, with their lax laws 'n all.

Underwhelming Carlos correa

Only the Dodgers with a large lead will steal.

Buxton hasn't stolen a base since AA ball.

As not good as the  pitching has been, I still think the lack of hitting is the Twins greatest problem.

They need a hitting coach.

THAT  CAN GET THE PLAYERS TO listen

Inflation is actually worse in California. He really only threw about 93 pitches 

Dodger need one more run , then they can say they beat the the Twins 7 to 0-1-2

Figures the twins would go way out of character and pay big bucks for a bonafide star like correa and he comes here and is just kinda blah. Not bad. Not the problem of the team. But just not really all that impactful

I've heard that Miguel Sanó might be looking for work

New pitcher

The Twins last won 3 games in a row Jun 25-27.

 

CBU.

Had a chance to win 3 in a row Sunday, but HAD to give Buxton and Correa the extra day off…and chose to do it at home against the Jays, rather than on the road against the Dodgers.

I’ll take how to turn a 3-game win streak into a 2-game losing streak for $500, Alex.

Well he can upload his résumé on indeed like the rest of us

So we're really only down by about 4.5?

No, but with this team, it oftentimes isn't too difficult to read and assess the situation.  To me, this one read "no clutch hits" in flashing neon lights.

It comes with being too familiar with how this team operates.

If Sano were on the team, in this game he would probably hit multiple homers in a loss.

Is that math on the chalkboard?

and you can’t play small ball these days. Makes no sense with the decline of the value of the run

Don't be ridiculous. It's letters, not numbers.

TWINS ARE PAYING HIM, WHY NOT!

Maybe just save the embarrassment and grant Betts 2nd base any time he's on 1st.

They charge Megill with an error when Miranda is the one who looked like he never played ball before, good grief.

This strike zone looks interesting 

That's ANOTHER scoreless inning from the Twins staff!

7th inning and the Dodgers pitcher has a whole 75 pitches.

We are feckless against superior teams like this. It's like we get "mesmerized" by the pinstripes. Why is our 100 million dollar man not in cf? Our league leading hitter not playing? Our 35 million dollar ss barely loops a hit into rf. Ryan pitching down the middle. Waits till 2nd at bat against dodger players to mix in breaking/off speed? Come backer to him and he goes to first instead of 3b runner going home?? Is this game a future playoff snip-it?

I certainly hope we see the Dodgers in thr post season 

Ohtani is being his usual dominant self on the mound tonight, and unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your POV) the Twins are going to miss his turn this weekend.
