Game Thread: Twins @ Royals, 6/21/19, 7:15 CT

[Danchat]

I've been more of an optimist on the game threads recently, but boy our pitching and defense has been flat-out embarrassing thus far. This poor fielding has gotten contagious lately!

[twinsbaby]

Why we continue to put Perez into 25-man roster? He has roughly ERA 6 in his last 7 apperances.

I will be taking the lovely Mrs. Blake out this evening for her birthday.

 

Hopefully, she's okay with Little Caesar pizza.

 

 

Instead of supporting the Tigers, in an effort to support the Twins on your wife's birthday. 

 

You should take her out to dinner at Coon Rapids Chrysler.

 

They got a great popcorn machine in the lobby with free coffee.

They'll keep slumping if they don't clean up the sloppiness. It's hard to watch.

If we have the best record in baseball, and we play this badly at times, I wonder how other teams' fans are feeling?

The Dodgers have the best record in baseball

[PDX Twin]

Wow. Gotta love that shift. NOT

Who are you going to replace him with?

Wait, I know the answer! Kind of like how I've felt about the Twins most of this decade.

That was a test. You done well.

[70charger]

Cave doesn't get that.

Popcorn does not a meal make.

At true least the Tigers are leading the Indians by two in the 5th.

Yup, I seemed to have forgotten so quickly.

[notoriousgod71]

 

DFA Perez, please. He is just ****ing bad.

 

He has built up enough collateral to last another twelve seasons.

[twinsbaby]

 

Who are you going to replace him with?

Very easy. Lewis Thorpe needs to replace Perez. Perez is not a ML player if his velo sits 91-93 mph.

[David HK]

Cripe, is it still the 1st inning?

 

My God, I went outside to water the garden and chase the wild boars away, and Perez is still on the mound?

 

Gave up a field goal, I see. Probably a chip shot.

[USAFChief]

Well, the offense needs to show up for a change. Let's go.

[Riverbrian]

Apparently, you never went to college. 

[operation mindcrime]

CROM!!!!!!!!

[jorgenswest]

Cave catches that ball and it is no runs. Polanco throws to first and it is one run. No pitcher can be successful with the defense the Twins have been playing the last few weeks.

 

... and we need a pitcher who picks up his team. Perez hasn’t done that.

[Riverbrian]

CRON!!!

[Nine of twelve]

Watching that inning was not fun. I try to remind myself that the baseball season is long and there will be stretches of bad outcomes. To wit: the 2017 Dodgers finished the season at 104-58. Yet from Aug.26 through Sept. 11 they lost 16 of 17 games. 

[David HK]

On a slightly better note-

 

Yo, check out the dude rockin' the sweet North Stars tshirt behind home plate.

 

[70charger]

Okay, maybe a good catch followed by a jolt will get the team back on track.

[LVTwinsfan]

We need about ten

He's mocking us.

Yeah, but we go Twin speakers, so ours is i high fidelity stereo, right?

No but it helps you to drink more beer.

[LVTwinsfan]

Maybe Sano can raise his bowling avg

Perez is not a ML player anytime. We can't expect he can pick up this team. LOL....

 

I will hope Berrios throws a gem tomorrow.
