Since May 24, the Royals have more wins than the Twins (as do teams such as the Reds and the Diamondbacks.)

2022 Twins are 655 win pct against the Royals and Tigers…

462 against the rest of the league.

 

But, if we can just find a way to come back and win this one…

See, that's the problem.  We count on beating up on the Royals and Tigers, when the Royals have more wins over a long stretch.  There are NO gimmies the way this team is right now.  In fact, the team I see RIGHT NOW is one of the worst in baseball.

Great AB by celestino

[Aggies7]

I know you aren’t allowed to know how to bunt anymore but wtf palacios 

[RpR]

Billy hits a home run.

Batting average-wise it would take four Sanos to look like Ted Williams.

Hamilton can't hit and has 0 power. Sano cant hit but has some power?

I figured he would hit into a double play

Shouldnt even be playing but something something off days something 

[tony&rodney]

Palacios needed to bunt with two strikes. I wonder if it was ever even on.

After tonight's game in NY...the next 14 games are either with Cleve or KC. There are two series each with both of those teams.

Between Death in Paradise and Midsomer Murders, the U.K. is a very, very dangerous place.

Now that’s funny……

He hit the ball , which is what he is supposed to do.

I think he is 1/16? He should be used as a pinch runner or defensive replacement with the hopes he won't be hitting ?

[Aggies7]

Yay!

[rwilfong86]

Gordon!

Billy Hamiltons career ba is higher than Sano’s

And how he is done, so the Yankees can't get the automatic out

[SanoMustGo]

Gordon and Miranda...the only reason I'm watching the 2022 Twins for the remainder of the season.

[h2oface]

Gordon is 26 years old and still can't decide to wear his pants on his ankles or just below the knee or just above the knee. On the ankles, today.

Just what is the Hamilton stradegy, now? Use him up before you need the speed late in the game?

Yep just like yesterday. Makes 0 sense.

[Aggies7]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING OH MY GOD 

[LVTwinsfan]

I’m speechless 

[rwilfong86]

And again Celestino makes today's baserunning blunder to kill a rally.

[SanoMustGo]

The Twins have become a bad team...what a brain fart.  Over and Over and Over again.

[h2oface]

And Celestino doesn't get to third when he should, could have had runners on second and third, and then gets doubled off. Day after day of poor decisions and baserunning.

[CRF]

More genius base running by Celestino.
