uffda

0-2. At least it wasn't another hanging breaking ball.

Lol.  This team.

Now we need Megill to strand the Manfred man.

 

Heh. 

Fun while it lasted...

Either Arraez or Correa need to come up with an RBI there.

I can accept a walk from Arraez, although it ultimately did nothing.

But somebody need to step up and knock in that second run.

Arraez wasn’t given any chance to swing at anything there. I’m all with you on your RBI beliefs but what a weird take 

We can't score from second on a single to right, but they can score from second on basically an 0-2 meat infield hit.

0-2 meat. over and over and over and over and over.

Yeah, he took one strike. But I can accept the walk there. As I said. My point was, one of those two need to get a pitch and drive in a run.

Their guys probably wouldn’t throw the pitch that magilla gorilla did

Maybin is pissed about the lack of situational awareness by some of these Yankee hitters. Pretty entertaining if anybody wants to catch their broadcast

Which team throws a position player on the mound first in game 2?

Rocco should have let that one go

How long is the flight from St. Paul to NYC? Can we get someone for tonight

How many appearances does Gordon need to make before he's counted as a RP?

So, here's how you train a pitcher to finish ready to field his position. He's got a bucket of balls to pitch, while you've got a bucket of balls standing just in front of the mound. Kid throws a pitch, and just as he finishes his follow through, you roll him a grounder, right between his legs. Keep reminding him to finish with his glove out front and on balance. By the time the buckets are empty, the kid will be reasonably ready to field his position after delivering a pitch.

What a shame Trevor Megill has received no such training from professional pitching coaches. Instead of finishing on balance and ready to field, he finished whirling around like a drunk, totally helpless to stop a medium speed ground ball. 

Megill out there hanging breaking balls like it’s on his contract.

Wish the twins broadcasters would get annoyed every once in a while, but they’re all in the Pohlad’s pockets

It was borderline strike high and outside, not a pitch I want him swinging at on a 2-0 count.  One of the two need to get a hit, the with the opportunity was Correa and he popped out swinging at a ball.

This is like watching a v-e-r-y  s-l-o-w  moving train wreck. You know what's gonna happen, but it's taking forever to occur.

Not just Megill. 97.8% (I made that up) of the pithers these days,

How’d they find a way to screw that one up? 

What the hell is this team doing.  Get the freaking out.  He’s going back to third.  My God.

Correa. Just awful. 

And now, the end is near. I’m in the autumn of my years 

Twins should have gotten an out there 

Wtf is going on. It's little league s*** out there. Wow.....

We suck. That was as bad base running as Celestino at home plate, and we STILL can't get an out.

The Twins can hang with the Yankees "B" team.

These two teams are setting baseball back about 110 years 

The Twins are just a terrible team

Both of these teams are embarrassing themselves today...

I literally hold my breath on every 0-2 pitch from a Twin.
