I mean, throwing behind a guy is intentional 99.9% of the time 

Agreed, I'm just baffled by the timing of it.  Not really sending a message when you wait until the 7th to do it, and then you also burn your second-best (?) reliever in the bargain.

Kinda lame to throw at a guy and miss him, and then get tossed

Agreed, though I'd go a step farther and say that this sequence was a delightful little Bonsai tree encapsulation of the exercise in futility and ineptitude that the 2021 Twins season has been so far.

If we're gonna throw at Mercedes at least we could do is actually hit him! We can't even do that right ffs!

Donaldson, I was expecting more out of the signing,

[operation mindcrime]

I'm shocked that Colomeoscopy didn't give up any runs in his appearance!

[Aggies7]

Well if it’s any consolation, the twins trying to hit Mercedes has drawn broad ridicule on social media.

we’re a laughingstock 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sorry i am not wise on the talking heads.

 

Whati miss?

[Mill1634]

Being mad at the Yermin homer is stupid, but being mad for throwing behind a guy is also stupid. It's been apart of the game forever, and will continue to do so. I have zero issue with standing up for a teammate if you feel the situation calls for it. The twins apparently felt like it did, so I'm fine with it. 

 

Note: Throwing at the ribs is completely different than throwing at the dome. One is okay, one is not.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

4...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

3.

 

But all for naught unless we can get the runs.

And in typical Twins fashion, we missed.

[RickOShea]

Baldelli ordered some runs before the game.  The baseball gods, told him they were out of stock.  Gave him a raincheck.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Base runner is good.

[Aggies7]

Kepler is lost
