Then what's the connection between your first point and the second one?

They are going to have to score some runs to not get swept in this series.  Beating the Giants means nothing as they are a bigger mess than the Twins

[stocker08]

Leon is worthless.

Please come back in our half of the inning.

 

Which would be now, i guess.

But I left, so I'll never see this in time!

[USAFChief]

That was one helluva catch by Devers.

Sure, but that doesn't make them a good hitting team.  They may be that particular day, but hard to argue they are on a daily basis.  Which is what a good hitting team is.

Plus some multiple game winning streaks, too.

I can see this team going on another losing streak much more easily than winning streaks.  They are just not good enough.

[SanoMustGo]

Bundy can't afford to walk anyone, he hasn't had a stinker in awhile , but here comes one.  Just cant string anything together as a team.  This will be a sweep

[h2oface]

Ball 4 to Story was a perfect strike on the very corner of the zone! You don't move your stupid glove on that one, you just freeze it. Machines won't miss that one.

[stocker08]

WHY is Kepler hitting third?  Big reason why the Twins were dropping games left and right all through August was Rocco's insistence on batting him in the middle of the lineup despite his monthly average (at the end of the Rangers series) hovering around .120....with an OBP of .157.

But yeah.....third seems like a good idea.  Please get Rocco out of here at the end of the season.

Gordon had him if he would have thrown to third.

You can't be serious.

[h2oface]

..... and Story should have been a strikeout.... and now a run.

When i seen Bundy then Archer tomm.,,  this game is a must win

I mean, what? Throw to 3rd??

Not that he ever would, but if he HAD, Story scores.

[SanoMustGo]

A message to the Twins crappy offense...wake up and hit this guy for God's sake

[USAFChief]

Let's put together an inning here. We're not facing Cy Young.

Who did you have in mind? Me?…I’d go with Aaron Judge…unless it’s too late to add him to the 25-man.

he would have been trapped off third, quick throw to Leon, and a run down, looked like to me. he was already heading back to third. pump fake to home, throw to third, stranded. but we will never know.

But when has that made a difference to our usual popgun offense?  We can hit with the worst teams far mor often than not.

Gordon?  Miranda?

My point here is that during the Rangers series when we hit....what.....two for twenty something with runners in scoring position....Kepler was batting fifth.  Plenty of chances with runners on.  He's had a few good games recently.....but we need guys who have been hitting more consistently getting up to the plate after our top of the lineup batters. 

[mrtwinsfan]

OK Caveman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[h2oface]

Here we go. Right were they want us. Bases loaded and no outs.

COME THROUGH!!!

[Mortimerkenny21]

Bases are juiced!!

[Nine of twelve]

Who is this player wearing #8 and what has he done with Jake Cave?

[mrtwinsfan]

strike 3   -gilbert

[h2oface]

Great pitch by Bello..... didn't get that one either.
