Either Baldelli bench Larnach or send him back to AAA.  Don’t know.

What did I miss?  Refsnyder in LF?  Is Larnach gone?  Why

 

Cave to 60 day IL. Refsnyder recalled.  LHer on the mound.

I'm too lazy to look it up...when was the last time the Twins got a 2 out RBI hit?

 

Week 2?

[Irishman]

Maybe Pujols wanted one more World Series ring.

[mikelink45]

I do not understand how the team continues to put Garver in key lineup spots.  But then when I look at the other averages who can hit in those places.    Even his defense has slipped.

YMMV.

It does!

What does TC win stand for?  
 

Twins can’t win!

[tony&rodney]

Sano cracks me up. He had his big foot totally on top of the base.

Believe it was the O'Brien boys - 1955.

Those pesky sabermetrics.....all the rage.

[mikelink45]

I think it is time for a whisky - happy hour - and it is hard to be happy with the Twins playing like this.  So I will check out - please wake them up and get a win.

[mikelink45]

I did not sign off quick enough.  Batting practice for the A's

[cHawk]

I’m starting to wonder if these players even care at this point.

[denarded]

Sano owes The Twins money.

I agreed.   Would it be hilarious if Twins doesn’t win one game for the rest of season?

Another opportunity to come back from a more than one run deficit. How is that for positive thinking?

Gold star.

[Irishman]

Too many “fast” 1-2-3

It would be embarrassing. They would be in the history book as the worst team ever (12-150). Ironically they would’ve been remembered as a projected playoff contender.

[cHawk]

I don’t think Rocco is as horrible as some say he is, but I don’t see how he can be back in 2022 unless there’s a massive turnaround.

6th inning.. down 4-1..

 

Just need to hold them and score once per inning. For the next 4 innings.

 

Thanks, Cruz! That's a start.

[cHawk]

Never gonna give you up

Never gonna let you down

Never gonna run around and desert you

Never gonna make you cry

Never gonna say goodbye

Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Alright, Sysiphus, time to put your back into it.

 

Only way we'll get back into it.

Sano with a hard out. Has the sleeper awakened?

 

Glad Polanco didn't get caught off 3rd.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I do like this matchup and Rocco’s management of the situation here

110 MPH off the bat. A little more lift, and...

[cHawk]

You cannot make that up

[Brock Beauchamp]

I am so ****ing over this team. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hey look.

 

The boulder is back at the bottom of the hill...
