So...

As if we got a bunch of werewolves on our team?

And now we have Caleb Hamilton hitting who is 0-11. This is horrible. No one to pinch hit?

Still on life support eh?

The authoritative text on the subject:

 

[rwilfong86]

Now Hamilton is 0-12. Why would they not pinch hit in that spot? These are the things that should get Rocco fired. Incompetence.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I am still confident we'll make some noise, but i probably should do something useful with my afternoon...

 

You all, hold the thread down, and perhaps the game as ya can.

This dumpster will burn in your absence. Enjoy your afternoon.

Another rally opportunity here...

All it takes to start one is ONE little hit, but NOOO he swings for the fence.

A Gordon grand-salami here would be delicious

[rwilfong86]

Meh. 

[tony&rodney]

Beating a dead horse .... Gordon goes for the grand slam on every swing. Twins baseball 2022.

The tuba in your picture could help with that!

Fundamental baseball is lacking again. They don't understand contact is more important than muscle 

[PDX Twin]

Not enough people in the stands to boo? Not paying attention? Minnesota too nice?

[rwilfong86]

I don't know how much more of this I can take ?

I agree. And they are 3:05 into the game with still 3 half-innings to go. Bad baseball is one thing. Bad and slow baseball is excruciating.

That’s why  

 

[rwilfong86]

Now he gets a hit, when the bases are empty. But good for him.

I was thinking the same thing. Way too long. Bring on the pitch clock.

[rwilfong86]

Henriquez has looked pretty good today, 4.2 scoreless innings to give the team a chance to come back

[rwilfong86]

And now Megill can't get anyone out.

Is anyone else thinking that it might be nice to see him take Bundy's next turn?

They should consider it after what he has done today.

[rwilfong86]

And Megill should be DFA.

[RpR]

Celestino should stay in AAA next year, maybe AA; his bat has been erroding all season but now his fielding is also.

[rwilfong86]

Megill, at 29 pitches and one out. Nauseating.

[PDX Twin]

Wow. Now even Cave has caught the bug. That was embarrassing!

[rwilfong86]

5 hits, 30+ pitches, 3 runs, 1 out.

[rwilfong86]

Make it 6 hits in 7 at bats and 5 runs allowed. Still only 1 out. DFA

Easy spot to open up on the 40-man roster.

I will give Celestino credit for backing up that play correctly.
