Great play

[Mill1634]

Garver to Donaldson to Berrios....I have a Twingo!

That stupid drummer is pretty annoying....

Better than the woos

[bighat]

Why can't the Twins hit lefties again? Is there a good excuse or is it just poor preparation and/or athletes that can't adjust offensively?

The hitting coach was a gold mine find from Little League. Correct me if I'm wrong....

[FlauerPauer]

Happy Holidaze, everyone. Enjoy the evening.

[Aggies7]

I didn’t even know Mitch Moreland was still in MLB and he’s killing us

[bighat]

So 35 year-old Mitch Moreland is having himself a day.

[FlauerPauer]

****ty pitch. Even ****tier play in the field.

[Aggies7]

I wonder what Tom kelly thinks of how fundamentally horrendous this team is in every aspect of the game

It's Oakland. They have a regular group that drum and chant in left field. I think it's unique.

[FlauerPauer]

Did they even need to institute a seating capacity for Coliseum?

Unique is annoying. I haven't heard any chants... just the same drum...

 

Check that. Here's a lets go a's

[FlauerPauer]

This dude is hitting .140... Berrios is not the guy we need to win a playoff game.

[bighat]

big strikeout Jose - one more buddy.

[MMMordabito]

Gawd, Rooker is terrible out there in right.

[FlauerPauer]

 

god, Rooker is terrible out there in right.

 

Same guy that made that diving play a couple weeks ago?

[MMMordabito]

Same guy that made that diving play a couple weeks ago?

Even a blind squirrel ...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

Gawd, Rooker is terrible out there in right.

And Berrios has his back.

 

We like living on the edge!

[bighat]

Astudillo pops out every time.

[cHawk]

I’m sick of these horrible fundamentals. Who’s to blame for them?!

[FlauerPauer]

Dick talking excuses for left handed pitching. Absolute BS. If you want to be a WS contender, you need to be able to hit whatever. Lame excuse for commentating. 

[Aggies7]

Are we actually going to get shut out in a doubleheader? I don’t care if it’s 14 innings that’s GD embarrassing

Nice antijinx.

[MNT1996]

If this offense has another bad week, I really think the hitting coach needs to get the boot. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And Rooker makes the catch.

 

Can of cream corn.

[Danchat]

Luzardo had a 8.50 ERA coming in, but thankfully he's facing the Twins! And this is without Kepler and Cave, who would normally be helpless against lefties. Yikes.

[Aggies7]

That was an unhittable pitch

[bighat]

I'd be shocked if the Twins plate a run tonight. Or tomorrow, frankly. They'll be swept out of Oakland.

 

Terrible start with awful weather, nutty extra innings games and these cracker jack 7 inning double-headers all over the place.

 

I do feel that this team will hit a stride at some point when summer hits, but right now they are really out of sync.
