GAME THREAD: 5/11/21 Minnesota Twins @ Chicago White Sox, 7:10 PM CDT

[insagt1]

not to be a wise guy but those last 2 runs scored when Sox hitters blooped them in. No, they didn't hammer the ball 100 mph...they just played baseball....hit 'em where they ain't.

Twins can't do anything right anymore.

[wavedog]

At least our relievers are holding them to only 2 runs per inning.

The good news is that with expanded playoffs, more teams will be alive at the trade deadline. More buyers out there. This is fire sale territory, folks.

The bad news is that the playoffs are not expanded (yet)

Yeah, as sad as it is to think in those terms, they may be better off continuing their slow descent to the crash site than putting together a respectable 30 days that causes them to stand pat but still lose 90 games. 

[Mill1634]

This team has no fight. Absolutely none. The lineup scores early and then does absolutely nothing the rest of the game, and the bullpen...well, you know

I could have sworn I saw it was expanded. Well, my mistake!

How on Earth could we possibly be this bad? What is holding them back? How is it supposed to be fixed?

Steroids?

Let's go Twins!

Only 4 runs down. 

[h2oface]

Yes! More Caleb!

St. Paul is down 11-0 in the 6th...and is also being no hit.

Never mind, they just got one hit and one run

[Mill1634]

O/U on the first MLB Twins player being traded at June 15th. What y'all got?

[teachercoach]

Early runs, nothing added on .

Bullpen can't put up a zero.

1/5 of the season now completed.  This is a pattern.

[h2oface]

Abreau is 6'3". and stands a good head taller than our fist sacker, Astudillo. 

[operation mindcrime]

I don't know what's more painful? Watching the game, or all these pop up ads in the game thread.

Classic. Practicing for the big team. It's that amazing farm the FO built.

Which is possible because you don't get awarded 1st base when hit by a strike?

The earlier, the better. Throw in the manager too. Anyone that has anything to do with whatever this is needs to go.

[Danchat]

7-3 again? Deja vu...

Or did you mean on an 0-2 pitch?

It's probably just that relative to the Twins, it seems like every other team has a shot at the postseason...

[HokieRif]

We have the worst bullpen in baseball.  We may have the worst bullpen in the history of bad bullpens.

[Mill1634]

100% serious, what record would the Twins have to finish with for Rocco to be fired?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Thielbar being taken out

I got $10 that says both inherited runners score. It is almost a lock with this pen.

I'd call this a therapy group, personally.
