Game Thread "Wolfgang" Twins vs. Royals 6:10 CDT 9/21/2019

I hate when someone has it and just inexplicably loses it. I would go hide in the tunnel and sob

 

When did he have it?

[Aggies7]

I feel bad for the Twins fans that came to a game expecting a competitive team and seeing Hildenberger pitching in the 9th in a 2 run game

Yes that’s tragic for everyone but I’m guessing his career might be done-zo

[IndyTwinsFan]

Rocco has clearly thrown in the towel for this game. It'll be interesting to hear how he sugarcoats this dumpster fire in the post-game presser.

I honestly feel terrible for hildenberger

 

Yeah me too. It wasn't really a high-pressure situation...but there was just enough meaning left in the game that Hildy could have felt good about holding the team down. Plus, it was the Royals. And the dude just collapsed, pretty sad. Seems like a good kid, too.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Alcala sighting!

[Aggies7]

When did he have it?

He was serviceable in 2017. Or at the very least not this terrible

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Gameday just says "mound visit"

 

Are there Almond Joy visits too?

[tvagle]

 

Hildy makes Romo look like a magician. 

I agree...the facial hair certainly makes for a magician-like look

[LVTwinsfan]

A Philly win is as good as a Twins win right now.

absolutely right, we still gain

[bighat]

 

Alcala sighting!

No pressure kid, just bases-loaded, 9th inning stuff.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

When did he have it?

Hildenberger pitched really for two months in 2018 and two months in 2019.

[bighat]

Tampa won, Oakland up 9-0, so both of those teams get "W's" tonight.

 

 

[HawksNest]

Alcala looks underwhelming. Sitting 92-94

[LVTwinsfan]

9-4 bottom of nine in Cleveland

[Pius Jefferson]

At least they didn't sign Kimbrel.

Deceptive motions get figured out in a hurry.  Didn't last, and he cannot break glass with that fastball.  DONE.  Baseball is hard

[IndyTwinsFan]

Agree. I think there's a strong likelihood he'll be released during the off-season. Too bad he flamed out so quickly.

[gocgo]

Holy meltdowns!

[stringer bell]

Marwin should have had that.

[drock2190]

Good thing the Royals gave away an out this inning

[Aggies7]

Whoa this is bad lol

[Aggies7]

The crowd mic has picked up some hilarious comments on the telecast tonight

[Brian450]

The magic number will be reduced after tonight's festivities... No matter who the hell Rocco trots out...

[Pius Jefferson]

Last time Kansas City scored double digit runs was August 11th against Detroit.

like a hydrogen balloon

somebody catch it! Please

[Blake]

Twins hit the "Pathetic" button rather than the "Easy" button.

[LVTwinsfan]

I think I’ll switch to the Cleveland game

[Aggies7]

somebody catch it! Please

And it was an older guy saying that. Like he was begging for someone to catch the laziest fly ball

Alcala looks to be breathing now...nice slider on the corner
