[Aggies7]

Not used to these missed opportunities

[LVTwinsfan]

Yeah, Let’s see where we are come September. Or July at this point

I expect they’ll be better, you expect them to be worse, I like my way

[Aggies7]

That’s fine, I’ve just seen enough sports in my day to recognize players usually don’t perform way above their career averages for an entire season.

[LVTwinsfan]

Twins are 5-3 on this road trip yet there season might as well be over

[denarded]

81 pitches to get through this sad, sad Tigers lineup...and give up 4 runs. Pathetic 

[Aggies7]

You’re talking about a fan base who has seen their team win ONE playoff series in almost 3 decades and you wonder why there is sometimes doubt.

Cruz needs to go yard here!

I'll settle for the walk!

Im not wondering anything, I’m enjoying watching the Twins play baseball, speculations about post season in early June are meaningless and usually wrong

I speculated earlier about their chances in the postseason, but my argument with you was that I don’t think the staff as a whole would be considered above average, regardless of where they are in the stats right now. Too many guys pitching wayyyy above their career numbers. Do you think, stats aside, this is the 4th best staff in the AL?

[Aggies7]

Postseason pitching plan: odorizzi, berrios and pray for 3 days of rain

[Nine of twelve]

OK boys, it's getting to be time to mount the comeback du jour.

[Pius Jefferson]

 

I find it hard to believe they went all the way with home field advantage.

 

No Jack Clark and a severely limited Terry Pendleton helped greatly. 

 

[Aggies7]

9 k’s already

probably not , they need bullpen help for sure, they’re buyers this year for sure though, they’ll get some help. I am far from the negative BS I hear from you though, I don’t have time for that

[yarnivek1972]

Looks like we’ll get a chance to see what Eades can do.

[HawksNest]

Twins are extremely flat today.

 

Lineup has struck out 9 times through 6 innings.

 

Gibson gave up 5 runs in 5 innings to the worst offense in the MLB (yes, Detroit has scored fewer runs than even the Marlins ).

 

Whatever, it happens.

 

Hope the bats can get going here in the 7th, 8th, and 9th.

Time enough to reply though

Jesus christ. Trade for a reliever already.

Interesting sidelight about uniform numbers and Eades being the first MLB player ever to wear 80. I actually had coincidentally come across this earlier today.

https://ftw.usatoday.com/2018/08/phillies-pat-neshek-number-93-adam-cimber-90

 

So according to this 86, 89, and 92 are now the only remaining virgin numbers. And I was not surprised that Pat Neshek would be someone to choose a never-before-worn number.

[operation mindcrime]

Eades has the farmer's tan going on!!!

Jesus christ. Trade for a reliever already.

Lol!

[mickeymental]

so that was eadesie.

[Aggies7]

so that was eadesie.

It was good to Eades him in to a non stressful situation

[operation mindcrime]

Let's get something started boys!!!!!

[Nine of twelve]

 

It was good to Eades him in to a non stressful situation

A player's first MLB appearance will almost always be stressful. It's just a matter of managing it as well as possible. Good job by Eades today.

[MNT1996]

We're making the Tigers bullpen look like Houston's

[Hornhead]

Sign that girl!

A three run game is not "non stressful."
