Game Thread Royals @ Twins 6/16/19 1:10 PM CDT

If Schoop had hit the fly ball Garver did this would be a 1-run game. Dang dude, can't strike out with the bases loaded and 1 out, just criminal.

[MNT1996]

Seems like Seattle's defense rubbed off on us

[MVP Nick Punto]

 

If you leave 11 on base and go 2-11 with RISP you don't deserve to win games

Maybe, but deserve and should are different things.

Ughhh.lets just get this game over already

Ughhh

I second the motion.

[Darius]

Man, Schoop is awful lately at the plate.

 

I usually think people way overrate the down-side of Ks.....except when it’s with the bases loaded less than 2 down.

[MNT1996]

Pitching has been bad, fielding has been bad, and offensive hasn't showed up. It's amazing we actually got 2 wins this series.

[Aggies7]

Sigh

[h2oface]

The team is just not focused for the Royals. Are they gettng fat heads?

[Aggies7]

AL central getting a little tighter

[MNT1996]

 

AL central getting a little tighter

 

If the Twins keep playing like this and Indians keep playing like they are its not out of the question that it will get tighter

Well, 2/4 today with 2 ks. Ks have been brutal, though, with the pressure on.

[FLTwinsGuy]

Can we forfeit the rest of the game??

[MNT1996]

And now it's Morin's turn to get exposed. This team needs work.

Only if we tank in head go head games.

[MVP Nick Punto]

My poor, little heart can't take any more. Cook me a chicken breast if we win?

[h2oface]

Baldelli seems to have the pitching plan for this game and is not going to adapt to what is happening.

[Aggies7]

Is there any chance at all that the Cuban guy we signed can contribute this year?

[Don Walcott]

Well, 2/4 today with 2 ks. Ks have been brutal, though, with the pressure on.

One of those 2 Ks was ball four. He deserved better, as did Sano.

[diehardtwinsfan]

well yuck... land in Philly to see this... 

[h2oface]

Not getting any runs on 3 times with the bases loaded ..... how many with only 1 out? Can't remember. Don't care to look. The game could have turned big time ............ and had nothing to do with the pitching.

[h2oface]

I hate hate hate that umpires are still guessing the balls and strikes.

[FLTwinsGuy]

I love this bullpen

[MNT1996]

Pathetic 

[70charger]

This has been a frustrating game. Morin is not helping.

[h2oface]

Littell and McGill. Oh joy.

[MNT1996]

All of this at home and against the Royals. That's not how you keep getting sellout crowds, Twins.

[h2oface]

Morin could give up 10 runs, and all would be unearned. Then in the future, a sportswriter would say (and they would, just like the beginning of the season with Hildenberger) .... He has been great! His ERA is only 1.20!

Everything he does seems pre-determined; hence how May somehow gets a save opportunity.

 

He has been lucky the players have bailed him out for the most part.
