I forgot this was an afternoon game

I’d agree if we were facing ace pitching each and every time we failed to score. How many times have the bases been loaded and 1 or 0 outs and we score only 1 or less? That’s not pitching, that’s offense not doing it’s job. If we can load the bases, we should be able to score. I agree that sometimes it’s pitching, but many times it’s not. Our offense has been very streaky inconsistent and not been able to take advantage when they should

Uh, that’s not true. How many 1-0 or 2-1 games were lost? Or not coming through in the 10th with a man on 2nd? Those are on the offense, imo. If the offense scores 3 or less in a game and we lose by 1 run, I consider that an offensive failure. Although, overall, some of that happens, but our offense has been very streaky this year, and seems to be feast or famine. (And I haven’t gone back to research my ‘eye test’ and memory-based opinion, so could be wrong, but I still think the offense has been incredibly inconsistent.)

Stick to the topic, please.

Hey ... don't rain on my chicken parade!

Win or lose, the play so far on the field deserves some chicken!

Lol ... see if you can pick up the Rangers airwaves and listen to them instead

No kidding ... and I want the Twins to break the ****ing bank and sign Correa longterm

Wow ... holy moly ... what. a. catch!

That’s what happens when you blink

Impressive debut, @Game7-91! Welcome to the big leagues!

This is actually the most reasonable plan, imo. But ... how long of a leash will he have? I hope, if it's bad Sano, the decision is made quickly. I hope Sano himself is realistic here, and prepared for 'what if.'

1. 2 or fewer. Set my expectations low to limit the pain if it comes true, but increases the joy if it doesn't 2. Eh, just my overall philosophy when dealing with baseball and the Twins 3. Three things ... the BP, the BP, the BP ... however you want to look at it 4. I want two quality BP arms. That's what I want. What they will do? I'm not confident on anything, but hope if a trade comes, and someone currently on the team goes, it doesn't affect player morale

Heh ... not to mention, it's been discussed in the forums already ...

Button? Button, button, whose got the button? (Sorry, just had to. Auto correct can be fun!)

I don’t know. Want to risk it and make me angry to find out? ?

You did now ... because I have 'special powers'

I'm not sure that many on either team really knew what was going on. I think maybe only Urshela had a sense of anything because he was in a position to watch/see all the runners. Both Correa and Polanco had their backs turned to the runners and didn't see what they were doing. And I think Buxton was just getting the ball in so whether or not the throw was intended to go where it did, or should have been thrown where it was, it was still, imo, a perfect throw for Urshela to field and then to tag a runner and get to 2nd for the 3rd out. The fact that Polanco and Correa were pointing to first kind of indicated that they didn't really know, either ... or maybe they just wanted to be sure it was all covered. Baldelli even said he wasn't sure what was happening because most everyone was tracking the ball and weren't watching the runners.

Welcome to Twins Daily ... and I concur!

On the Sox broadcast last night they were wondering the same thing. Said he had some knee soreness a bit ago and wondered if that was having an affect. Kopech also indicated in the post-game that something mechanical was off.

Until last night Kopech had only given up a total of 5 home runs all season

It was so weird to see a position player pitch when the Sox were down by only 6 runs. I mean, yeah, okay, that's a ways behind but not insurmountable; it's not like it was a blowout, but just seems as if they conceded the game.

If he even makes it through the season.

LaRussa on the game recap last night … man, not only did he look awful, he sounded awful. I couldn’t tell if he was drunk or maybe had some form of dementia or something. He was really out of it, hardly coherent, didn’t even seem like he understood questions or knew how to form answers

Wow, and Harrison did better than the Sox pitchers
