Article: Game Thread: Twins @ White Sox, 5/3 - 7:10pm CT

[Danchat]

Yup, the White Sox were licking their chops coming into this series. 

 

 

Oh wait, I thought it was the 8th inning. Whoops. Game over!

2016 Twins: Worst team ever!

 

2018 Twins: Hold my beer!

[Aggies7]

We were up 5-1 in this game, during the 5th inning. We lose 6-5. 

 

Yes, it is on the pitchers, but not being able to score any more runs against one of the most mediocre staffs in baseball is not doing anyone any favors.

 

Anyhow, we weren't going to win every game. However, anything less than 3 of the next 3 is a major disappointment.

 

Goodnight all.

 

I second this, to a point. The bats completely went to sleep for 5 innings. But Paul mismanaged his starting pitcher, again. But again, you don’t sink to the bottom 5 of the league without a total team effort

Agree. A lot of teams probably fall off when 3 of their best 4 hitters (arguably) are out for one reason or another. However, it is frustrating when it seems as if there are betting options in the wings. (Wade for Grossman anyone)?

So the reds haven’t won since they beat us on Sunday and the White Sox just won for the first time since Saturday. Yeesh

Twins bullpen 4-8 in win-loss record and 3-8 in saves vs save opportunities. It's going to be hard to be in the playoff race if our relief pitchers can't turn things around.

Well I can't get these 3 hours back. 

 

Next time, think about multi-tasking.... at least then, you'd only lose an hour and a half....

fun with numbers courtesy of the Sox broadcast: the last 7 times Pressly has pitched the Twins have lost

Pressly's fault, again. (Yeah, I know he was no longer pitching.)

I’ll eat my hat if this team is anywhere near any playoff race at any point this season.

Very telling.

[Aggies7]

Twins haven’t won consecutive games since April 11-12. YIKES

the Twins led the ALC from Apr 4-12, and again from Apr 18-20.

 

I suggest Tabasco.

For an ordinary boater, yes, that would be correct.

 

However, for a nice fedora, probably want to go with a good rub followed up with a dipping sauce.

Ha, I was speaking in future terms

Not to toot my own horn, but the potential consequences of the front office's refusal to add a 4th OFer this winter were the subject of approximately 13000 of my 19000 some odd posts.

These close games getting away at the end seem to be more common than i'm used to.

So you're saying you've had somewhere around 966 posts that have not been unusual? That estimate seems a little high.
