GAME THREAD: Minnesota Twins at Detroit Tigers, 5/8/2020, 4:10 PM EDT (3:10 PM CDT)

That was the worst best double play I've ever seen

[Mill1634]

Twins extremely lucky to escape that inning only down one...Berrios isn't fooling anyone and getting hit hard

Maybe this will be a reverse of what we usually see. Like he would find himself at the All-Star break, rather than lose himself

[PDX Twin]

K Sano, Sano.

We all wait to see strike three.

It happens inevitably.

K Sano, Sano.

Larnach smoked that

[cHawk]

Sano needs to be sent down

[PDX Twin]

 

Sano needs to be sent down

 

Pretty much every pitcher he faces sends him down...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

No, of course not. The point I'm making is that three players at the bottom of our lineup are giving us as many total hits as one good hitter. That's abysmal.

 

Actually, that works out...

Assuming roughly equal playing time across the players compared.

 

Nevermind.

[cHawk]

We are getting NOTHING from the bottom of our lineup

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Is Steve Wright who they refer to in the miranda?

[cHawk]

Who is to blame for this offensive ineptitude? Are the hitters even trying?

[Mill1634]

Berrios is pitching horribly

[PDX Twin]

Where the heck was Cave playing on that triple? Somewhere in St. Paul maybe?

Them shifty pitchers.

 

Or maybe the fielders. They can be shifty too.

[ScrapTheNickname]

Larnach played like that he was still in AA. Well ...

[USAFChief]

"Thank you to whichever moderator moved the lineup and batting order to the OP."

 

one of our many tools ... 

 

Really? I mean, you might not like all the mods, but there's no need to be calling any of 'em tools.

[operation mindcrime]

Getting beat by our scraps. That's just Grossman!

[cHawk]

Good thing Byron is on our team...

[cHawk]

Ayy!

[Mill1634]

BRING THE RAIN

[operation mindcrime]

Make it rain!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hey, whaddya know? Tie game.

[operation mindcrime]

I didn't know Lil Jon pitched for the Tigers.

[Mill1634]

Polo starting to heat up is great news

[operation mindcrime]

Hip hip

[Squirrel]

 

Really? I mean, you might not like all the mods, but there's no need to be calling any of 'em tools.

Well, I knew you were the one who did it

Bases loaded...Miguel Sano up to the dish. Tough scene.

[PDX Twin]

Bases loaded and one out. Time to root for a K!
