Game Thread: Twins vs. Texas 1:10 PM CT 6/23

[Danchat]

That’s HBP #3 for Profar...

[Aggies7]

Well surely one of our guys is going to get plunked now.

[S.]

No idea if any of them were intentional, but I'd bet someone on the Twins is going to get plunked today or tomorrow.

[Aggies7]

Please provide examples of things that this organization is doing well.

Haven’t had a home rain out in a while

[jun]

Yeah I said it earlier. Profar seems to go for HBP every at bat. That's pathetic. Well that's a skill somehow. He seems to survive every at bat without getting injured because he is ready for it.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Reed and Pressly both pitched, and have pitched Thurs/Fri. Duke hasn’t pitched since Tuesday, Belisle pitches yesterday and the day before. He’d better go three days in a row...

He is no threat like Betts or JD Martinez. Why would the Twins try to hit him?

[Richie the Rally Goat]

What has he done in the minors to warrant a call up?

hes back on the DL

[S.]

Honestly, I don't think they were intentional. We've just been trying to pitch him inside, but our pitchers suck. Banister seemed pretty pissed off though, so I wouldn't be surprised to see some retaliation at some point this series.

he’s standing very close to home plate and twins pitchers are throwing a lot of balls... he’s only had 6 HBPs this year so I’m not sure what’s up.

[Aggies7]

Escobar is not looking agile

[Aggies7]

Why are Dick and Jack so befuddled about the way things have unraveled in this series? The team hasn’t shown any positive consistency all year long, theyve been unable to build on the short positive stretches they’ve had, and the offense has been trash all year long. None of this should surprise anyone, especially not a guy who’s been watching every game.

[mrmpls]

Minus sano and buxtons struggles, to me its all Dozier and Morrison doing nothing to help the TEAM, and being so called veterans , They look Lost!

[Aggies7]

Looks like the team quit somewhere around the time lamarre GIDP with nobody out in the second.

 

Just my humble opinion, though.

Remember who they work for.

 

Look at the Twins 2 starters so far this series. Nothing weird about them being 0-2 against Texas. Romero and Odorizzi have been straight up bad for the past month, we're talking Lance Lynn-April-Bad.

I know they have to keep up appearances, but they genuinely sound surprised.

Taylor Motter is now 0 for 12 as a Twin. I wonder if he'll make it to 0 for 100!

I’ve been wrong before

[operation mindcrime]

Trevor Larnach our #1 pick is on ESPN tonight at 7:00 for whoever's interested.

[mrmpls]

c,mon Dozier

[mrmpls]

OH BOY , NOW MORRISON

[Aggies7]

Could you imagine a more unlikely comeback than if Morrison is the one to finish it

[bighat]

Morrison down 0-2 right away on two swings.

[Aggies7]

Oh bother

[mrmpls]

And as usual bad a.b.

[bighat]

Morrison, so terrible. It's not this at bat, it's just the whole season-long package.

[notoriousgod71]

Bartolo vs Berrios tomorrow! Anyone else and I'd be rooting for Big Sexy.

"Let us compromise.

Our hearts are not of leather.

Let us shut our eyes

and talk about the weather.

 

Yes, yes, let's talk about the weather!

 

How beautifully blue the sky etc."

 

(It fit so nice, he said i could keep it)

 

Anyway, i miss the days when we didn't let the other team score much...

[notoriousgod71]

The record isn't as bad but this seems like a replay of "Total System Failure".
