Article: Game Thread: Twins @ Yankees, 9/18@6:05pm CT

Umm, Bremer needs to retire. How does he forget that Dozier has 30 plus HR?

[Aggies7]

A truly horrendous at bat by Ed

[FlauerPauer]

Why would you ever throw Judge a fastball?  He cannot hit off speed pitches. Bad pitch call/selection by Castro and Santana.

 

Also, what the hell are the Twins swinging at?  

[Brock Beauchamp]

Oy. Rosario.

[amjgt]

Nice strikezone

[Aggies7]

So much for having an inside scouting report on Garcia. The way we're swinging, he might as well be a AA callup

[FlauerPauer]

Just swinging at trash pitches.  Typical Twins fashion making a sub-par pitcher look like a cy young candidate...

[Aggies7]

Situational hitting continues to be non existent

[Pius Jefferson]

Didn't realize Severino was pitching today for the Yankees.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Jesus. This ump.

[Aggies7]

Ha, the Yankees analysts were hoping to get 5 innings out of Garcia. 5.

[FlauerPauer]

Pathetic at bats, boys.

[USAFChief]

great trade, Falvine.

[amjgt]

I thought Garcia was a 5K/9 guy my mistake it's 5K/2

[Darius]

This team needs to learn how to fundamentally move runners over and take advantage of RISP and no outs.

 

Cue pithy "troll" comments.

[FlauerPauer]

It's like this team gets to the Bronx (armpit of NYC) and they turn into a different bunch... THIS IS NOT THE SAME TEAM THAT OWNED THE TWINS IN THE 2000's!  Mauer must have scared them into thinking this Yankees team is a juggernaut.  

[Aggies7]

Jesus. This ump.

Ump? Rosario and Eduardo has two of the worst at bats you'll see at the ML level, and I'm only slightly exaggerating

[Riverbrian]

 

So much for having an inside scouting report on Garcia. The way we're swinging, he might as well be a AA callup

 

Inside Scouting report? What exactly did we learn? The guy averages 7 K's per 9 and he has 5 in two innings against us. 

 

 

 

[amjgt]

 

Jesus. This ump.

 

He was embarrassed to call that strike to Grossman

[amjgt]

We have a .500 BABIP.

 

Unsustainable 

[drock2190]

It's a shame the Twins are facing Johan Santana tonight.

[FlauerPauer]

Yeah, the ump doesn't make them swing at pitches in the dirt and three feet outside...

[Aggies7]

It's a shame the Twins are facing Johan Santana tonight.

If the first two innings are any indication, they wouldn't hit Karim Garcia either.

 

But it's early.

[amjgt]

Yankees 0.000 BABIP.

 

They're due

[FlauerPauer]

Honestly though, this Yankees team is not a good team.  They have one guy who hits the sh!* out of fastballs... If I were Santana, I'd buzz a couple fastballs right under his chin.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Oh no, their plate appearances were terrible.

 

But the striezone appears to be huge tonight. Like absurdly so.

[Riverbrian]

I'll give the Twins "1 time through the order" grace. 

 

When Dozier hits... he better hit!!!

 

Or else... I'll type something. 

[Aggies7]

Oh no, their plate appearances were terrible.

But the striezone appears to be huge tonight. Like absurdly so.

I will say that he botched Escobar "foul"

[amjgt]

 

I will say that he botched Escobar "foul"

 

Really? I didn't think so

[Aggies7]

Really? I didn't think so

It didn't hit anything other than dirt
