Game Thread "Good Grief" Twins vs. White Sox 6:40pm cdt 5/17/2021

[Aggies7]

Happ has less than nothing tonight.

Is gallows humor appropriate here?

Counting down makes me think of this...

This umpire needs DFA'd

They’re going to do case studies in the coming years on this team. Incomprehensible failure

[LVTwinsfan]

This team is so bad

[sampleSizeOfOne]

18!

Dude it’s early

 

they can still get so much worse.

Thank god the White Sox are missing their (arguably) three best right-handed hitters tonight. If not for that, they’d probably be killing us right now.

[Mill1634]

This ump is straight up flipping a coin on any pitch near the outside edge

[Mill1634]

Horrible, horrible outing on a day where it was most needed with this upcoming stretch of games.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sorry i missed a couple of outs.

 

5-1 what a way to make a living just doesn't work.

[Danchat]

Is anyone really that surprised that dropping $8M on JA Happ was a bad idea? Seeing him struggle like this is no surprise to me, at least.

[Mill1634]

Allowing a run where the first 2 hitters handed you outs on 3 pitches is not great!

[Vanimal46]

Not a great sign when your top FA pitching acquisition poops the bed twice against a division rival.

Not a great sign when us fans have to attempt to be excised for JA Happ...

[LA Vikes Fan]

Wow, just leaving work and turned this on. We are dead already? Life and this team just isn't getting any better, is it ...

[wavedog]

Very hard to watch this.  Yet  Another inherited base runner scores.  I would call mercy on this game - maybe this season 

[Irishman]

Bad pitching!  Bad hitting!   Too many players hurting.   Too many quick 1-2-3 outs!  Looks to me they already quit!   

[Cap'n Piranha]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!

[Aggies7]

I don’t think Derek law is the answer.

I disagree.  We clearly need to tank and tear this down.  Law continuing to pitch like this will be very helpful in the pursuit of losing.

Already been drop dead before game started.   Going to be a long, long, long season!    LOL!

[h2oface]

Pitching brought to you by the genius of Derek Falvey and Thad Levine. It's their calling card.

This has the feeling of a game where the Sox score 10+ runs...

Where I do turn this in for Twins Daily points?

[Aggies7]

This was a consensus 85-95 win team by every publication of note.

[h2oface]

And posters chastised those of us that predicted the "long season" when they were blowing the first games. We called it.

[Aggies7]

Billy Hamilton is possibly the worst veteran hitter in baseball and he has battled in every single at bat against us

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Roam was not built in a day...

 

Unless your planet rotates very slowly.

Or gravity causes time a lot of time dialation.

 

Now that is how you get Hamilton out!

[Vanimal46]

I’m less of a diehard than others here. Even in great years like 2019 I watch around 30-40 full games. Then catch bits and pieces of another 50-60 games. It really sucks I have zero interest watching this team on May 17. At least I don’t have to make an attempt to watch them instead of doing something else this summer.
