I feel bad for out pitchers. Our defense is just too good. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Oh my

[Mill1634]

Tori is bad. Flat out bad. Gotta give young guys a chance at some time right?

[Halsey Hall]

Mays getting tired.  Lost 4 mph on his fastball, and over 70 pitches.  He won't finish the inning. 

[TheLeviathan]

Is Bremer allergic to saying that's Torii's fault?  It's not "on the outfield" - it's on Torii.

[Mill1634]

Stauffer is warming. Were in good hands. 

[Mike Sixel]

Kind of happy I cannot actually see this.......

  I feel bad for the fans.

Can't even spell his name right. Sorry, but I just had to point that out. So were you one of the fans who wasn't afraid to let him hear it? What did you say? "Is this what you call 'all run out of bullets'?"

Well, duh. Everybody feels bad for themselves.

[Gibby]

  Guess that makes up for the bumbling, blind leap into the chain link.

[NoCryingInBaseball]

Just joined you guys....nice catch by Arcia....but they just showed Stauffer warming up....so now theTwins are in real trouble.

[ShouldaCouldaWoulda]

Those last two hits to the OF sure highlight the Twins horrible OF defense. Both those balls are caught by average left and right feilders. Arica also made that last out look difficult, when it was quite routine.

[Mike Sixel]

Yup. People paid real money for this. not sure why, other than a love of baseball, or habit

[Riverbrian]

OK... I'm not a believer is defensive stats but I've seen enough of Mr. Hunter to start believing the stats ain't lying. 

 

Had to walk from my office to see the replay and an average RF comes close to reaching that ball.

 

Below Average doesn't come close. 

 

I don't think Torii was close. 

[shimrod]

Hunter was signed to mentor Hicks, right? Maybe he should be doing that in Rochester.

 

Hunter and Arcia would have to hit .400 to make up for the defensive miscues.

[Penthang]

Just curious, is anyone keeping track of runs given up by Tori or the outfield in general?

I was glad when he was back. But at some point it has to end.If he can be a .230+ hitter with 10+ homeruns keep him, but I haven't seen a glimpse of that yet. 

[Gibby]

 

Well, duh. Everybody feels bad for themselves.

 

  Yeah, not really. I'm not a fan of this.

[VandyTwinsFan]

If anyone is a glutton for punishment and wants to get worked up...go back later and watch the top  of the 6th. Holy moly this is bad. Sorry Trevor May, you got hosed this outing.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Kind of happy I cannot actually see this.......

But you will be hearing more about it

[Mike Sixel]

So, OF defense does matter? Huh.....

[D. Hocking]

 

Kind of happy I cannot actually see this.......

Yes -- although trying to piece together what is going on by the short, ominous sounding replies on this thread is a bit unsettling.  Partial descriptions of some horror you cannot see.

[shimrod]

How bad have the Twins become when our fans would be happy with .230 and 10 homers from the starting right fielder?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Come on Twinkies! Regroup!!!!

Its the best we have. Especially when its a 40 year old.

I think i can piece it together. The defense is terrible, as we all knew it would be. And, the old bad players are bad. And, not changing the roster of a 90 loss team is not likely to lead to wins. The pitcher many of us wanted up will have bad stats, but he did not deserve them.

Well, I for one expect Joe Mauer to have a much higher average, and considering the stats, Dozier is set up to hit more than 10 homers.

Its hard for pitchers to get win's when our offense can only produce 1 run in 6 innings.

I was talking about Torii though. And don't even talk about Mauer.
