We have a Bane Sighting...and no it's not Eddie Bane

True story...I was in attendance at the Met for Eddie Bane's MLB debut. 1973. July 4th, IIRC. Twins lost, IIRC.

[USAFChief]

Shut up, Dickbert. Its not bad luck.

[jun]

Thorpe is not a major league pitcher.

[jun]

Twins turned 4 DPs and yet gave up 5 earned runs...

[rukavina]

Momma said there would be games like this.

[Don Walcott]

Looks like the Tigers are using this game as situational batting practice. Specifically, men on second and third and nobody out.

You and 45,889 others. 

 

You should have gone more often. Looks like that was the best start of his career. One run on three hits and three walks over 7 innings, but the Royals scored four in the ninth off Twins legend Ray Corbin to win 5-4.

It could be worse...

[jun]

It's time to let Adrianza pitch.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

It could be worse...

See?

 

My bad.I shoulda known better.

[stringer bell]

Well, this has not been fun. 

[IndianaTwin]

And Miggy joins the top 50 in career hits, tying fellow Tiger Charlie Gehringer. Miggy's No. 24 will be alongside Gehringer's 2 on the wall at Comerica.

As it stands right now, assuming the division winners get the top 3 seeds, the Twins would be the 5 and White Sox the 4 seed. So they would play the Sox in the first round

[jun]

Anyone wants to see Thorpe in Twins uniform?

[jun]

Both Vargas and Thorpe should be released.

[LVTwinsfan]

Anyone wants to see Thorpe in Twins uniform?

I wouldn’t mind seeing him in a Tiger uniform

[twinbythebay]

 

We already have plenty of guys hitting at or below .200

I know you're being a bit facetious, but there's no way he won't be an upgrade over letting Adrianza play every day.

I believe the division winners get the top 3 seeds, the second place finishers get seeds 4-6, and the next two best records get 7-8.

Finishing behind those two teams would be an epic underperformance, all things considered.

[jun]

Thorpe tends to make sure Adrianza get to pitch in the game.

That could be, not fair really. I think after the division best record Should be the case. Your way would give the Twins Seven, probably playing the Yankees first, lol

You can bet, dollars to donuts, if there’s a way for the twins to play the Yankees, it will happen in the first round

[LVTwinsfan]

Maybe they’ll fair better in a three game series

[Aggies7]

That was an embarrassing performance, folks

Actually the Yankees aren't looking so hot right now, they're 4 games back and have lost 7 straight, so it would more likely be the Rays or the Indians... Although that doesn't take into account the universal constant that the Twins must be bounced by the Yankees in the first round.

day game too, so hot as **** and no fireworks after the game.

[notoriousgod71]

The past 17 years would suggest they wouldn't.

[Aggies7]

Wisler is the game 2 starter? Yeesh

[rdehring]

What a horse crap game. To be honest, the Twins are not a very good baseball team right now. They had better figure it out quickly, or this season will be over and they won't be playing October ball.

 

Although Dobnak seemed to be behind 2-0 to every batter, the ump sure didn't help matters. Another example of why baseball needs robo umps.

 

With that said, everything Detroit hit seemed to find an opening or bloop over the infield. Getting tired of seeing that happen nearly every time the Twins bring the infield in...which is happening too much IMO.

 

Got a feeling Detroit is going to win this series as the Twins slide continues. Time for some of those vets in the Twins locker room to get their heads back into the game.

[a-wan]

The curse of Niko Goodrum is alive and well it seems.
