Horrible ab by Cruz if ur a twins fan.... u swing first pitch???

[PseudoSABR]

MY POOR HEART, YOU GUYS!

[sftwinsfan]

A little too eager there with the control this guy has shown.  Up to Eddie now.  I really would like to go to bed sometime soon.  

[h2oface]

Seriously? Swinging at the first pitch here?

[Aggies7]

I do not want extras. Can’t imagine it ending happily

[twinssporto]

THIS UMP REALLY SUCKS!

[jud6312]

De Jesus might as well have pinstripes on.

Pitcher having control problems throws something in the zone, you swing hoping he's cheating on the first pitch thrown.  Didn't work out.

I don't mind it.  He was sitting fastball and got one over the plate, he just missed it.

[snepp]

Eddie...Eddie...Eddie...Eddie...

[h2oface]

Why even swing here?

[twinssporto]

 

De Jesus might as well have pinstripes on.

He's turning balls into wine.

[PseudoSABR]

I WANT SANO TO BAT THIS INNING!

[MNT1996]

 

I don't mind it.  He was sitting fastball and got one over the plate, he just missed it.

 

He was also a facing a pitcher with major control issues

[h2oface]

Just let Chapman implode.....

[Aggies7]

That sucks man

[Blake]

Crud, now have to keep the Yankees off the board for another inning. 

[MNT1996]

This should've been the win. Bases loaded no outs with a pitcher that couldn't throw strikes and... 1 run. Ridiculous.

Good thing the Twins can ride out their superior bullpen!

 

Sarcasm aside, the Yankees have burned some of their better pitchers already.

[TribeAZ13]

man, u guys..... bags full nobody out and that piss wizard threw SEVEN strikes out of 29 ...gotta get more than one there

[Riverbrian]

I didn't want to Jinx anything and type this earlier.

 

But, Chapman was hitting 95 with his fastball. 

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see him on the DL soon. 

 

Something is wrong. 

[SwainZag]

But if he is looking for a fastball over the plate and gets it right away, why not swing?  I get it he has control issues, but if that's what you are sitting on, take a cut.  Cruz is good enough to put that in the gap or over the fence.

Usual Minnesota luck results in a loss.  So there's that.

[sftwinsfan]

God!  3-1 count and he's swinging like he's in an 0-2 hole.  If you don't get what you're looking for there you just have to let it go strike or not.

We're blaming the offense now?

[jud6312]

Wait, that blooper didn't win it? I've just been sitting here waiting for Dick to say it finally landed.

i sometimes use wine on my bal.......wait, what?

Because the way he was going even if he got a fastball for a strike he probably would have missed 2 or 3 times, which would have set Cruz up for a better pitch.

I’m going to need to know ahead of time if this one’s going 17.

 

What’s that? Use the box score as a reference? Ok then.
