Game Thread: Twins vs. Royals, 9/15/22 @ 6:40PM CT

[twinssporto]

Good evening Twins fans and welcome back to some game thread fun! 

This season has been a real upper and downer. The Twins need to win tonight in order to keep any possibility of hope alive...I like the drama but really irritated it came to this. I know, injuries have killed us but this seems to be a continual occurrence. Who is actually in charge of health and fortitude on this team? Whoever it is needs to be canned. Just my observation. 

I'll be interested to see what this teams character is all about. Even with all of the replacement players it would be nice to see some spark. Who knows what will happen but I hope we prevail. Dylan Bundy (8-7, 4.68 ERA) toes the mound tonight against the Royals southpaw Daniel Lynch (4-10, 5.14 ERA).

The lineup for the Twins looks suspect but I guess its all we got...grab a drink, fire up the grill (it is Thirsty Thursday) and cheer for your Minnesota Twins tonight. Sorry for the short introduction but I'm irritated it's actually come to this.

I'm already looking forward to 2023!

Let's win Twins!!!

Palacios at Second Base, the kid will either sink or swim.

Call me old fashion, but i hope he plays second base... And hitting a little wouldn't be bad.

My pick to click tonight is Miranda. And no, he does not need to read your rights!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And considering how manygames have gone down to the wire, should i be surprised if the season does too?

Kind of fitting that he at least hits right ...

Do not pass go. Do not collect $200?

[stringer bell]

Need a win tonight. It would be nice for the offense to score more than a half dozen runs.

Over/Under 3 runs for Twins.

CWS already beat Cleveland today so a chance to pick up a game

and go into Cleveland 4 games back.

My god, it looks like there’s 5,000 people at TF on another perfect night 

[rwilfong86]

Let's get the sweep tonight 

[Mortimerkenny21]

I'll join the small crowd for the game thread. I might not have a lot to add but I'll be following along. Sanchez and Gordon hit HR's tonight...maybe even see a big hustle on a Jake cave triple! Twins 7 Royals 2.

Go Twins!!

I like the way you think!

Time for this team to put some wins together and show us something. Win tonight and then go into Cleve and get back what they lost last weekend.  

[mrtwinsfan]

Go Twins

[PDX Twin]

Where was this Correa when it mattered?

[rwilfong86]

Correa on Clemente day!

[mrtwinsfan]

Hope CC. Is here next year, ? when does he have to let the team know ??

Probably when he feels like it with his contract.

What is it? (besides a rhetorical question)

 

Don't tautologies have to be true?

My pick is Bundy joins the 7 inning club, keep the streak alive!

Watching celestino run bases is a cross between laughable and horrendous.

I'll be pumped if Bundy make's 7 innings, but he's going to have to be a little more efficient in the coming innings. Even 6 IP would be great if he keeps the Run(s) down.

[Squirrel]

I hope he’s okay. We don’t need another injury
