Game Thread: Twins @ Tigers, 8/31 @ 5:10 CT

Not a clean game tonight. Bad pitching, bad defense, way too many strikeouts.

[Nine of twelve]

Did Bert just really say "Up yours"? It's time to retire.

Six homers in a game , and they lose, makes the record somewhat ironic

A division championship is relevant in my book.

May pitched well again but next time he should probably zip up his pants.. Hilarious

Today’s game was lost because Falvine chose not to send Dobnak down after his extended outing Thursday. As a result, the Twins had to use most of their top relievers yesterday in a game that was in the bag after the 4th.

 

As a result, Perez was kept in longer than he should have been today because there were no rested relievers.

 

Not impressed with Falvine at all. Their mistakes continue to cost this team games. None of the trades they made to shed payroll have moved the needle. Developing pitchers continues to be a problem. These are the kinds of things that these guys were supposed to be better at than Terry Ryan.

Still  not sure how to feel about p.h. for Schoop[,   better hitter = yes tying run - schoop  ????

It was the right move. It just didn't work out. Arraez should be a bit more careful with those borderline calls. Arraez is a better hitter with runners in scoring position and he is a LH hitter.

I did laugh out loud.

But i wanna win now!!!

I don't expect a win if my team gives up seven runs in one inning.

I don't expect a win if my team gives up seven runs in one inning.

I commend you for being far more mature and reasonable than i am tonight...

 

I am glad such people are still posting on Twins Daily.
