Game Thread: Twins @ Yankees, 5/3/19, 6:05 CT

[Don Walcott]

Gibson having to deal with some really bad fielding tonight.

[Aggies7]

What in the heck is happening. Awful defense.

Whats happening is that the game is taking place in New York and our team wets it’s pants here regardless of the records

[Aggies7]

AAA yanks looking pretty good

[MNT1996]

I don't care what the Twins record is. If you get intimidated by a team from New York you don't deserve a second in postseason play.

[Don Walcott]

Let’s get another double play here.

[Don Walcott]

Garver had him at third! Damn!!

[Nine of twelve]

Bugly baseball tonight.

[Don Walcott]

Wow. This sucks.

[bighat]

This is a poor excuse for a baseball game.

They couldn’t possibly be intimidated by the likes of mike Tauchman.

What a complete mess of a game this is

[Don Walcott]

How many of these runs are unearned?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

This crap might be tolerated if it was against any other team.

[gocgo]

I thought initially that the Yankees looked afraid of us....and then they realized that we are still afraid of them.  Well, I hope we bounce back strong from this clunker.

[Aggies7]

Pray for rain Sunday and perhaps they’ll escape with only two losses

[amjgt]

How many of these runs are unearned?

Should just be one earned run so far

[David HK]

Ahhhhh.... nothing like consistency.

 

Just tuned in to the game, in time to see yet another typical Twins/Yankees tussle.

 

1- Twins get screwed by the ump. More than once.

 

2- Then, incredibly stupid plays in the field gift the Yanks even more runs.

 

Well done, boys, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

 

Good grief.

[ScrapTheNickname]

On a positive note, the Twins need just 3 more outfield assists to set the major league record.

[Nine of twelve]

 

How many of these runs are unearned?

3

[Mike Sixel]

I don't for one minute think the Twins are afraid of the Yankees. They are just playing badly. Happens.

Has to be 3.

AAA yanks looking pretty good

AAAA Twins looking pretty bad.

You’d have a point if this sort of thing hasn’t been happening since the bush administration. Maybe not scared, but surely psyched out

[Brock Beauchamp]

I don't for one minute think the Twins are afraid of the Yankees. They are just playing badly. Happens.

Yep. Half this roster is new and couldn’t care less about the Yankees. It’s just a bad game.

[Don Walcott]

I don't for one minute think the Twins are afraid of the Yankees. They are just playing badly. Happens.

Agree.

[Don Walcott]

I don't for one minute think the Twins are afraid of the Yankees. They are just playing badly. Happens.

And I’m tired of that narrative.

[BoofBonser]

Garver isn't seeing the ball well at all as well as guessing wrong

 

I've got a feeling we're going to see a few more of these regressive stretches like we've seen from him and Eddie so far from other guys

[Aggies7]

Yep. Half this roster is new and couldn’t care less about the Yankees. It’s just a bad game.

But it is kind of amazing that regardless of either roster, time of the season, team standing, win streaks, they ALWAYS play bad games here. Almost 20 years of it is kind of a trend

[bighat]

 

I don't for one minute think the Twins are afraid of the Yankees. They are just playing badly. Happens.

 

Agreed. Half of these guys weren't on the team last year, and the holdovers from last year (Polanco, Rosario, etc) aren't scared in the least.

 

This is just a night where everything is wonky.

 

To be honest, I think Gibson's slow work on the mound sets the team off balance a bit. Maybe. It certainly bothers most of us, I don't see why it wouldn't also bug the guys in the dugout.

[MNT1996]

I don't know how you can watch this game and not think that the Twins are just scared of these guys. Pathetic.
