For all the **** we give the bullpen:   11 IP, 12H, 2ER, 1BB, 12K.   Hats off to a gutsy ass performance from 8 different guys   And how about Max?  3/5 with a game tying tying hit in the 8th, a game

The good news is that this has gone on so long that Byron is off the IL

Was pretty bummed when I got called into work tonight because I would be missing the game. I got off around 9:45 and rushed home to see the end of the game.   I was destined to watch 9 innings of Twin

If it annoys the others, they don’t take your allegedly non-annoyed tone. We’re all fans here, fella.

I'm doing it for them, and yes we're all fans, never said otherwise.

please , what does he have 80 AB’s , watch as all numbers those level out to crap

 

He has a career .819 OPS, which this year would put him at 69th in all of baseball.  In other words, the 3rd best hitter on a team.  If that's crap, you have an insanely unrealistic expectation of Sano.

Every good team throughout the years has had at least a 3 game losing streak. Might as well get it out of the way now

Y'know, I have been saying that it's most important to get on a hot streak late in the year so a team can use momentum to carry them into the postseason... and the April-May winning flurry was never going to last. Ideally they'd play .500 ball for the next month or two and kick it up a gear in August/September.

As this series plays out, I think at the very least it will give the Twins brass a dose of reality. We won't be playing the Tigers, Royals, and White Sox in October. The Twins have to be a better team than they are now...

 

The crazy thing is that it's the offense that looks exposed. Let's hope that changes here in the next 2 innings.

 

I hope Garver can shake off that awful gut punch of a mistake right about now.

Yup. Boston's a better team than their record thanks to their slow start, so it's not like we're flailing against a bad team.

 

And if the Twins are going to go through a bad stretch maybe it's better that it happens now, before the ASB, when it might prod the front office into making a couple of moves to shore up some weaknesses.

Cleveland needs to get closer IMO. Been playing awfully flat, and it’s been going on longer than the past three games

My view of the replay showed glove between the ball and the wall.

It was a great catch, darn it.

Let me know how Sano does in five years. Or ten. Or after he has a career-changing concussion.

 

Or if he ever starts catching.

Except people are saying Sano can't hit, and not as well as Mauer.....I mean, he's no Hall of famer, but to say he can't hit, or isn't clutch, ignores the actual outcomes Sano has produced.

Yep, they're heading home for some early evening relaxation.
