I don't know if the Twins have won a game this year when they made multiple errors.

I don't know if the Twins have made more than one error in a game this year. They only had 14 coming into the game.

My ten years as a stringer – a freelance sportswriter for The Associated Press – spanned two distinct baseball eras. During the first, 1983-88, stringers dictated stories by telephone to the New York

Dear Byron Buxton,

 

You don't have to hit a 6 run homer in this next at bat. 

 

Just do what you were doing when you were getting on base. Take a walk... Punch on the other way. 

 

Don't try and pull those sliders away. Go with the pitch... Just get on base.

 

Sincerly,

 

Riverbrian

Polanco-Vargas-Kepler have gone 1-15 with 15 LOB. Not very productive day for the 2-4-5 hitters in the lineup. Too easy to blame the game on the manager when the player's aren't getting it done on the field.

Your going to have bad days.... I disagree with bunting in general. Let the young kids hit Edited by Twinsbar107

I have no issues with Paul and his decisions today. 

 

Yesterday I took issue with the Sano pinch hitting for Vargas but I'm over it.

Mauer is 6-6 getting on base today and the immediate 3 players following him in the lineup are 0-17.

So is Mauer still the problem?

Nice. Haley looks like he's coming in with a bloody nose. I'm not sure they would even allow that.

Yeah they'll make him take that thing out I would think. Could get interesting

This is interesting because Paul has done everything he could do this year to not need Haley. 

 

He is out of options now... He has no choice. 

 

Big moment for young Haley!!!

I am pretty sure MLB rules would demand someone with exposed bleeding be taken out of the game. That's the case in every sport now. Post Magic Johnson era.

The twins are 17-95 (.178) with RISP in their last 9 home games. They are somehow 4-5 in that stretch

Yeah pitching and defense.

I can't deal with the strikeouts, especially looking, in those situations. Put it in play, let them make the play

It's been happening a lot at home. Inability to come through with guys ISP. I could live with it if they put it in play, but wayyyy too many unproductive outs.

They have sucked at home. We need to throw everything we have into this team. No pissing and moaning. Cheer them on, hope for the best. Maybe something good or great can happen. I say this while it is conceivable they lose this game. Sell your soul for the Twins!
