But we are no longer trailing by 13.

 

Down to 11 now.

Good work on the positive thinking, but there's a vague sense of irreversibility here that I'm having a hard time getting around.

[Aggies7]

Donaldson is out of the game? Run too hard around the bases after his home run? Much deserved three innings off? Wtf is going on

J.A. Happ, Matt Shoemaker, Derek Law, Hansel Robles, Alex Colome, Ian Hamilton, Brandon Waddell, Ian Gibaut, Shaun Anderson, Glenn Sarkman, Luke Farrell, Robinson Leyer, Andrew Albers, Juan Minaya, Chandler Shepherd, Jhonleider Salinas, Rob Whalen.....

 

Your 2021 Minnesota Twins pitching additions.

Dumpster diving at its finest!

In defense of Happ, he’s been the least of our worries. Until tonight.

[mikelink45]

It is so bad I am listening to the commercials and wonder if they would like to make some changes in the verbiage.  I know they made the commercials when we all had hope - now they sound ridiculous.

Correct. A 1.9 ERA against the league...and about 80 against Chicago.

Don’t be so sure.

falvine always have a card up their sleeve 

Uno!

[LaBombo]

Starting to pick up a faint but growing chant in the crowd audio... hard to make out, but it might be... yes, it's definitely getting louder as more fans join in... 

 "Ten run rule!!!"

"Ten run rule!!!"

"Ten run rule!!!"

Unless it's Stan Musial we may be in trouble. 

[mikelink45]

Will Meshbesher and Spence handle our suffering case?  I think the Twins owe us all  a large settlement.   - Sorry still listening to commercials.  Now the lottery is telling us how to live large - I hear a fire - maybe it is the Twins tickets.

I like the lottery one...”you know what sounds beautiful?” “Not watching this dump of a team”

Whoever complained about Romo last season, take a look at all the relievers this season. Romo could be effective as long as a manager knows how to use him.

Oh, I just meant that the deficit could easily return to 13, but since you mentioned Falvine having a card up their sleeve...

 

 

That's a little too harsh, especially this early, I know...  but hey, if they net us a cool dog in a bandana at the trade deadline, all is forgiven.

[Aggies7]

Alcala couldn’t find his behind with both hands

[D.C Twins]

We all need to root for Detroit tonight so that we can 'pick up a game' in the #1 draft pick standings!

I also think the Twins arent using this card responsibly...

Honest question for the diehard and faithful here: 

In how many computer simulations did the front office see this team get to mid-May with the worst record in baseball? 

[mikelink45]

I am holding on and I have to have an explanation for why when it is 15 - 3.  My excuse is that I want to know if Astudillo is going to pitch!  What other reason could there be?

[ashbury]

Welp, I'll just switch over to the minor league games. That'll cheer me up. Wait... no games on Mondays.

Chisox trying to make a game of it by doing beerball rules with defensive positions and letting everyone play whatever they can claim first.

Can it get any more embarassing?

[gunnarthor]

Gads, this team ...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

3?
 

Sorry, i got distracted again.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Astudillo! 

 

Position 1.

[Aggies7]

Sorry, I don’t get all giddy for a position player pitching. It’s an indictment on everything that’s happened. Especially this being his second time already. But the fans enjoy it I guess 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

That mean we lose our dh?
