Game Thread: Twins vs Cleveland 7:10 PM EDT (6:10 PM CDT) 9/7/2019

So does anyone else think Puig is liable to come through for Cleveland?

 

Yeah, maybe,  but if he does, it probably won't be by legging out an infield hit for an RBI.

[twinssporto]

 

Well then we might be in trouble, if October arrives, because you run into a lot greater proportion of that.

Yankees don't have any arms either...It will be an arms race...No pun intended.

The most likely explanation for this, by far, is not poor batting. It's good opposing pitching.

 

Nate Eovaldi had a 5.77 ERA.

 

Eduardo Rodriguez had a 3.78 ERA.

 

Adam Plutko had a 4.44 ERA.

 

All of those pitchers shut the Twins down with ease. If you ask me, it's poor batting. Wish it weren't.

Very afraid of this.

[bighat]

Welp, there it goes.

[IndyTwinsFan]

And the crowd is booing. I probably would have too if I was there.

[VATwinsFan]

I guess Francona knew what he was doing.

[LVTwinsfan]

Be nice to win a home game

Ouink!

It seems like the ones with mediocre stats seem to be the ones looking like potential Cy Young pitchers when throwing against us.

I bet deep down Francona really wanted to bench him, but I guess he'll take an better opportunity for a win over his morals. 

[LVTwinsfan]

he wasn’t gonna bench Puig, no way, maybe in April

[VATwinsFan]

What's that about "walks will haunt"?

[Bomba2026]

I knew Puig would mess up sooner or later....anyway I hope we see the Squirrel tonite and it runs thru Puigs legs!

[PDX Twin]

Wow, that was effective.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Another wild pitch. Of course!

[VATwinsFan]

Welp

 

[MNT1996]

The guy is just a strikeout machine. Pretty impressive

[twinssporto]

I never thought I would say this but Duff is a stud.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Our offense needs to wake up from its week long nap. The sooner the better.

[VATwinsFan]

At least Civale is out of the game.

Except for the WP = IRS.

Do the Twins have a catchers' coach? If so, who, and why hasn't he been fired? I speak in 2/5 jest, 3/5 bitterness.

[Blake]

Looks like not coming through on those scoring opportunities is going to cost the Twins.

some offense would be nice, maybe we should blame the hitting coach

[MNT1996]

Well yeah that part isn't impressive, but the fact that his past 12 outs have been Ks is

It's probably Tony Diaz!

After all these years, there's still nobody in MLB who converts the routine outcome that is the humble fly out into a stinging disappointment in quite the way that Dick Bremer does.

 

 

Amen! "A high fly ball... Puig looking up... and catching it." A classic.

Before it gets mistaken for a coma ...
