Game Thread: Twins @ Chicago Cubs @ 11:20 am PT (1:20 pm CT)

[operation mindcrime]

Our Lynx are going for 7 straight today!

[jun]

Happ got roughed up by Tigers today. Lynn now has an ERA over 5. Both of their trade value decreased today.

[Danchat]

Being a NL-only pitcher before today, you'd think Lynn would be better against teams like this...

[Aggies7]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[drock2190]

Twins could go through all 5 of their starters in 2 games at this pace!!

[Aggies7]

Once the weather cools down and we get back into divisional play, we’ll be fine, guys.

[curt1965]

I can almost garentee a position player will be pitching for the Twins today......

[Danchat]

I think we're going to need Romero back in the rotation. Maybe it's time we made Lynn the long reliever, just like we were thinking about a month or two ago.

Astudillo, right??! 

 

Big Sexy Baby!!

 

[jun]

Baez couldn't hit high fastball 2 swinging miss and then Lynn threw him a low curveball and he hit a double. What was Lynn thinking? Help me I can't hit high and tight! Sure I will serve you a low and slow.

[Vanimal46]

Schwarber is unrecognizable today vs. 2016. Sano needs that kind of body transformation.

[KirbyDome89]

Kind of makes you appreciate being the AL central huh....

[drock2190]

Cubs score more in one inning that the Twins have scored in a game all year!! (well, almost)

 

 

SAD!!!

[Aggies7]

Batting practice come late today folks!

[KirbyDome89]

Lester is going to wear down from hitting....not pitching....

[Vanimal46]

I'm not familiar with unwritten rules. Both teams should give up now, right Molly?

We’re halfway there

[wsnydes]

How many times have the Cubs batted around in an inning in this series? This is ridiculous.

[Danchat]

From what I understand, from this point forward, if the Cubs try to score more runs, it's going to offend Molitor. Unless they hit solo HRs, of course.

[MangLitch]

Who is likely to be the #1 pick next year?

 

At this pace, we could be inline to find out real soon. What a dumpster fire

[Vanimal46]

God forbid if the Cubs lay down a bunt for a hit or try to steal a base. That's fighting words in unwritten rule land.

If I were Maddon, I'd be very tempted to run all over the bases.

 

...By stealing them, not stringing together 8 hits an inning.

[jun]

I am certain Molitor's team have given up.

[wsnydes]

That might be offensive too though. It's unnecessary to swing so hard.

As bad as the Twins are, there are 2 teams within the Division and about 5 teams total that the Twins have no chance of catching. They are that BAD.

[Blake]

Twins are down 8-1 and Dick is talking about how many pitches Lester has thrown.

 

I'm going to hold back with the sarcasm because it has to be tough to be a Twins announcer with the team playing as badly as it is.

Wait, when were the Twins trying?

[Blake]

That was such a pitiful episode. A big league manager would have told the guys to suck it up and play the game.

He's always been a horrible announcer.

[jun]

2 really quick outs by Dozier and Morrison, this team has given up as expected.
