GAME THREAD: Twins vs Angels, Monday, May 13, 7:40 ET (6:40 CT)

[Don Walcott]

Tortuga would have had that.

[USAFChief]

The top of the Angels order might be the best lineup in history!*

 

* judging by tonight.

[Mill1634]

Alright bats, lets salvage this.

[MNT1996]

walk by Garver and walk off HR from Polanco. Calling it now.

[USAFChief]

I'm officially tired of the Arby's sandwiches guy. 

[AlwaysinModeration]

Cave was sent down for Duffey.

I’m having a hard time keeping up. Wasn’t Duffey brought up and sent down this weekend?

[Don Walcott]

Note to Rocco: Rogers pitches well in tight games — even when we aren’t ahead.

[USAFChief]

We don't have a walk off yet this year, amiright?

[AlwaysinModeration]

This is a pretty close game.

[Don Walcott]

Yup. As 26th man for the doubleheader.

[Don Walcott]

Just tuning in. What happened to Berrios? Looks like we gave up a lot of hits tonight.

GIDPs kept this close. Angels also got several hits (one bunt) around the shifts.

For sandwiches!

[wavedog]

Garver just missed on a couple of shots today

[MNT1996]

Not a good homestand for the Twins

[Aggies7]

Better get it sorted boys

[Mill1634]

Welp. 2 L's in a row, and frankly tonight was a bad night. Berrios didn't have his good stuff, and the lineup didn't get hits with runners in scoring position. 

 

Thankfully the Indians lost.

 

Let's bounceback tomorrow. 

[USAFChief]

When people claim RBI don't matter, don't believe em.

 

Get em tomorrow.

[TheMatt]

See. Ehire is bad luck.

[Danchat]

Bleck, hopefully they can improve with these close losses. We have some cushion to afford some losses, but here's hoping they can turn things around. 

[jtkoupal]

Not Good. Couple things from today:

 

1.) Leaving Berrios in to face the lineup for the 4th time. I know he's the #1, but leaving him in when he wasn't at his best could have possibly been the difference.

 

2.) The Angels got pretty much every break tonight. That's baseball and it happens sometimes. But that said, the Twins had plenty of chances to break through and get a big hit the last two days and they didn't get it done. That's on them.

 

3.) Interesting choice to let Rogers pitch 2 innings, down by a run. May take him out of the equation for tomorrow.

That's fine. Hildenberger should be available to blow a lead, let the Halos back in the game or make sure the Twins never get back into it.

Get em tomorrow.

What if they also claim winning doesn't matter?

 

Or that sports don't either?

 

Does belief my matter, for that matter?

 

I still wish we'd batted more runs in.

And won...

the baseball game.

I concur, Doctor.

(H. Jon Benjamin is the voice for Archer and also the Bob's Burgers guy. This latest is perhaps not the wisest career move.)

I'm officially tired of the Arby's sandwiches guy. 

And if you don't like him in the Arby's ads, you may really hate him in this. Apparently this is what Arby's thought they were getting. Or, more to the point, they thought viewers would know all about him and attach his "edgy" style of humor to them and buy more meats.
