Sire or Fort Myers

Thank you Sire

[IndyTwinsFan]

Six hits in two innings is.....impressive.

NOT

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Game threads are way more fun when this team is bad at baseball. Wow. Peace out everyone.

don’t leave!

[mrtwinsfan]

Rocco,   u watching , we are

[Aggies7]

Is there seriously nobody better to pitch right now than Lewis ****ing Thorpe?

[IndyTwinsFan]

Here we go AGAIN.

 

Sigh!

[notoriousgod71]

Let the season ride with Gibby and Thorpe. What could go wrong?

[LVTwinsfan]

It’s bad pitcher night at Target Fiels

[gocgo]

BTW, how is it that Detroit has played 80 games against teams >.500 while Cleveland has played 58?  Something just seems wrong about that...not that I'm sympathetic of Detroit.

[VATwinsFan]

 

If you were to translate that into WHIP, it'd be really bad.

With that walk it's a robust 3.50.

[PDX Twin]

Time for another TP!

[insagt1]

This is rhetorical...but does Rocco really want to win this game???

[notoriousgod71]

 

Rocco,   u watching , we are

 

Somewhere some dumb ****ing statistic says that the Royals are not good at hitting Aussies or something.

[tvagle]

An Irish guy, a Monk and a Twin's Relief pitcher walk into a drinking emporium

 

Who comes out first?

 

 

Ode to Chief and a pour attempt to lure Mike back

[VATwinsFan]

Did Bremer just say "NO" activity in the Twins BP?

[Mr. Brooks]

BTW, how is it that Detroit has played 80 games against teams >.500 while Cleveland has played 58? Something just seems wrong about that...not that I'm sympathetic of Detroit.

Because when they play each other 19 times, Detroit is playing an above .500 team, while Cleveland is not.

[LVTwinsfan]

Let’s turn too

[IndyTwinsFan]

This is rhetorical...but does Rocco really want to win this game???

I'm beginning to wonder myself.

[tvagle]

 

Time for another TP!

I know the feeling...I'm already on my 2nd roll of TP this game

[notoriousgod71]

Must be about time to see Andrew Vazquez or something.

start with all the times Det has faced MN and Cleveland, and vice versa.

Championship teams don’t struggle against bad teams like the twins have. Not at this point of the season. #facts

[VATwinsFan]

The Royals 7-8-9 batters are 4 for 6 with 2 BB, 4 runs scored and 2 RBIs.

[LVTwinsfan]

Might as well enjoy it, this could be a wild one, nobody is going to feel comfortable with a 1 run lead for a while

I think it's pretty obvious this isn't a championship team.

[mrtwinsfan]

Tonight and last sunday, really ,makes me wonder about our manager  and his logic sometimes, 

[notoriousgod71]

56 pitches? That's about as many as Rocco permits Berrios to throw so Thorpe had better be gone.

[VATwinsFan]

Not totally disastrous, but bad enough.

 

No more Thorpe this evening please.

[gocgo]

 

The Indians, for the most part, beat the teams they should beat. The twins, meanwhile, struggle to win home series against bad teams.

61-22 against .500 or less, so that's not awful, but it sure seems like we do struggle.

[Aggies7]

I think it's pretty obvious this isn't a championship team.

Technically they could be a division championship team. At the least. I hope.
