Wow that sign is so not minnesota lol

[Mill1634]

Nick Gordon has to start at 2nd tomorrow

[Aggies7]

Polanco, what’s happened to this man 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Kepler!

Kepler!

(Someday, maybe it'll work. Don't. Stop. Believing.)

[Aggies7]

Kepler, what’s happened to this man?

[cHawk]

No need, only a couple dozen people saw the sign. The eight defensive players facing that direction, three umpires, a base runner, two base coaches and the 10 people who are actually able to get Bally Sports.

Were the defensive players Twins players?

[MVP Nick Punto]

Are the Twins bad?

[Danchat]

High leverage innings are so easy against this lineup, it's just astounding how bad they are against the best of other team's bullpens, yet our high leverage guys serve up batting practice.

IDK

Alas, K sounds like the operative letter so far...

[drock2190]

Must be nice to have a closer that throws strikes and doesnt mess around

Are the Twins bad?

I don't think so.

 

They just play bad on tv.

[MVP Nick Punto]

I don't think so.

Cancel the broadcasts for the rest of the season

I must say i like the contrast between Sano and Simmons in the batter's box.

[nicksaviking]

Sano has been bad, really, really bad. So how is he taking at bats that are 100% more professional than Kepler and Polanco?

Twins Blown Saves: 7

Opposing Teams Blown Saves: 0

You can add Simmons to that list

[Aggies7]

Was that Mariano Rivera who just mowed us down, or 36 year old Ian Kennedy? Pathetic

I am waiting patiently to see him penciled in a line up.

You are on quite a Journey

[insagt1]

when SAno is not your worst hitter, you know there are big problems in Twinsland. And its spelled: kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Pitching was OK tonite. Hitting once again miserable. How can this lineup be so impotent?

 

 

 

[MMMordabito]

That one's all on the O

It goes on and on and on and on...*

 

So are the Twins... I just wish they'd gotten a few more runners home this game.

 

 

 

 

 

 

*-i may not always know what song i'm referring to... I got them in my ear from living thousands of days, but i never bothered looking up who was singing 'em.

Do Not underestimate the Twins ability....to find a way to lose baseball games this year.    It’s like we are stuck playing Minnesota Twins playoff baseball but against worse teams.  Free Gordon - he can’t be much worse plus be nice for him to get a major league at-bat.  

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Anyhow, thanks for the company!

 

Hopefully we can eke out a series split tomorrow.

[Aggies7]

I don’t condone calling for anyone’s firing, but here is the picture

He was doing a pretty good Mariano impression.

Twins 15 K's to the Rangers 4. No balls in play, no hits.

Wow, how did you find that in the crowd?
