Game Thread: Twins vs. Milwaukee 5-19 @ 6:10 PM CT

[Aggies7]

We have vets? 

Yes, surprisingly.

[Mill1634]

Pressly....still dirty

[USAFChief]

It's not just right now...I've felt since Molitor has been manager they often do not play smart, tough baseball. 

 

I do not believe, for example, that Rosario would make the throws he does were TK manager. He'd be out there after the game hitting one hop singles to Rosario in left, and every throw would be to second.

[USAFChief]

 

That's guys gonna pull everything to LF. 

Good...we could use some RH power.

[Riverbrian]

Ever since I did some research on Des Moines before my trip there. 

 

TwinsDaily has been feeding me targetted ads about Fleetwood Mac at the Wells Fargo Center in Des Moines. 

 

I was just thinking that if there is a Wells Fargo Center in Des Moines. There should be a Wells Des Moines Center in Fargo. 

 

On a more serious note. If anyone doesn't believe that Privacy is going to become THEE issue of the next decade... you may not be fully paying attention.

big lumbering dude.

His launch angle is terrible to get any sort of lift on the ball though.

His launch angle is terrible to get any sort of lift on the ball though.   Better try to be a slap hitter.

Every little league coach, every where: "Level swing, kid. Level! You're not chopping wood!!"

[Aggies7]

Would it be fair to say dozier is “fighting it”?

[drock2190]

Hader time!!

 

I'm excited to see this guy. I have an invested interest you could say!

[Riverbrian]

Very Fair

 

3 Hits 9 Strikeouts in last 26 AB's. 

 

I think Molitor should give him a rest to get his head in order tomorrow. Just like he did for Buxton.

I keep getting "Meet Middle Eastern Girls!" popping up. Probably due to my research on female driving rights in Saudi Arabia.

That's nothing. I went to West Fargo a few years ago and a big bank opened 3 new accounts for me, sold me info to anyone who would pay for it, and added my SS # to some paperwork I didn't know about.

[Aggies7]

Haha strike 2 to Cain wasn’t even close

[Mill1634]

Wow.

 

We cannot afford to lose this game. 

[Aggies7]

Facepalm

[Platoon]

And that's where Molitor comes up short. Some get one treatment. Some get another. And the players pick up on that immediately.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Just tuning in.

 

Wondering which way that wind was blowing - in or out.

 

I have my answer.

 

 

Edit: also, that home run was not remotely wind-aided

[Aggies7]

Wow.

 

We cannot afford to lose this game.

 

Not to quibble, but I doubt it will really matter in the long run

[Mill1634]

Disagree.

 

The ALC looks like it will come down to the very last game.

concur. 100%.

As I said last night, we used up the “just get in” thing last year. I fail to see a single area this club would match up with any other potential playoff team, and that’s even IF some guys put it together. In no way shape or form is this a playoff team, even with the additional wild card

Agree that we are not a wild card team, but we do have a shot at winning the ALC imo. The Indians bullpen is worse than ours, and lineups are pretty similar so far. We are dealing with a ton of injuries.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

1 run game in the 8th.

 

Let us pull this out!

[Darius]

We're a bad baseball team.

[Aggies7]

Twins record in August 2017: 20-10

 

All other months in 17/18: 83-89

Eh, I think Cleveland is going to pull away from us like we're tied to a post any day now. Just my opinion.

 

Been saying that all year, also, not just a frustration spur-of-the-moment thing.

Agree with all of that, but you got to admit this team is hugely disfunctional right now.

[Vanimal46]

That pitcher's hair is majestic

[Mill1634]

At least we're helping out my fantasy team.

Heck, Detroit is ahead of us too. I agree Cleveland will eventually get it together somewhat
