Game Thread: Twins @ White Sox, 7-27 @ 6:10pm CT

[MVP Nick Punto]

Thanks! Now I can't get that freaking theme song out of my head!!!!

Let me help get it out of your head with a jarring sound:

DUN-DUN!

[jz7233]

No Arraez no win I guess.

[Riverbrian]

 

What is surprising is that garbage pile of dung Cleveland offense has been hitting. Weirdorama.

 

If they are hitting... maybe it shows that garbage pile of dung offenses can do that?

Your Welcome

Evan Marshall enters the game... Maybe a grandson of the infamous Dr./Twins Mike Marshall

I love that movie about him "Forgetting Evan Marshall"

[Mr. Brooks]

For the record, we hit like crap last night too. So it's not too terribly surprising what we are seeing tonight.

.278/.333/.513 (.846)

That was our collective batting line last night. I want to know in what league that is crap hitting?

I was thinking Penny Marshall but you could be right. 

[Kato87]

officially hitting panic button!!!

In the league where almost all of the runs for the night are scored in one inning. Frankly, last night's game was hard to watch after the 2nd inning.

At least someone associated with the Twins is hitting.

[HawksNest]

It'd be nice to get a game where pitching, hitting, and defense are all clicking the same game.

 

Always seems to be one or 2 of the three missing

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Get Romo up in the pen!

[LVTwinsfan]

Cave would have had that

[Bandit34]

Throws a rookie into a close 2 run game in a very important game. What could go wrong, right guys?

[Mr. Brooks]

In the league where almost all of the runs for the night are scored in one inning. Frankly, last night's game was hard to watch after the 2nd inning.

That is their batting line for the entire game.

[HawksNest]

11.5 to 1 game lead.

 

But don't worry, we played the yankees tough!

He used to throw vets into those situations. So, It's different.

We haven't played terribly. But when you're competing against a team that is on a HISTORIC RUN like Cleveland, what can you do? What Cleveland is doing, is insane. Even if Cleveland had only played Detroit for 40 STRAIGHT GAMES, they should not be playing at that clip. 

[LVTwinsfan]

11.5 to 1 game lead.

no help from the FO. Obviously needed pitching help and nothing was done about it

[MNT1996]

Romo? That's who the front office gets? What a joke.

[Bandit34]

The great myth of this year is that the Twins have been playing poorly since early June. That's not really the case. I don't think I have ever seen a team do what Cleveland has done in these last two months. It's Cleveland, not the Twins. 

[IndyTwinsFan]

Romo? That's who the front office gets? What a joke.

Who said we're done with the trades?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

What could go wrong, right guys?

What could go right—wrong guys?

[Bomba2026]

One game?....Cleveland is us as we were in May. I miss you Devin.

[Mr. Brooks]

Well historically the front office is bad with trades by the deadline. So my guess is that this is it.

What history? This is the first deadline that the FO has had a clear contender.

[MNT1996]

And we gave up Lewin Diaz? I have no hope for this FO.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Well historically the front office is bad with trades by the deadline. So my guess is that this is it.

I don't disagree with that point. However, this is a different front office, so I'm personally going to refrain from any kind of grade until the deadline has passed.

[obtusebanter]

Chris Vallimont has got top notch heat. Picking up Romo and getting back a prospect who don't gotta go on the 40-man at year end for Lewin Diaz seems like a pretty shrewd move.

Obviously the pitching staff still needs some more arms though...

[Mr. Brooks]

And we gave up Lewin Diaz? I have no hope for this FO.

We got back a pitching prospect that's arguably a wash with Diaz.
