Why can't our hitters go for the first pitch of a reliever and hit it out? No. The seem to automatically just take the first pitch. But our pitchers seem to think they can just throw the first pitch down the middle and get away with it.

Now we have all these waiver wire or similar tired pickups that don't even feel like they are on our team. I can't even call them Twins even though they wear the uniform. I would much rather see farm talent than this crap.

I have a long meeting today. It will be less tortuous than this I'm sure....

There you go.

 

Twins are still teaching us important life skills despite losing.

 

We are wholesome, are we not?

Sano with three straight AB without striking out.... LETS GO!

And if he had been a step faster to 2nd, he may have given Astudillo an infield hit... So close...

If he had wheels he'd be an ice wagon.

I hate that brick wall behind the plate. They should pad it with a pad that looks like brick.

Why the hell is Gordon not in this game now? They are just letting Gordon rot. It makes no sense.

They already did. Unfortunately not only does it look like brick, it's made of brick.

Astudillo to catch, now. I ike Larnach here, but hate Astudillo behind the plate. This team is just in the sewer. Defensive move, eh?

The Orioles are so bad - could we even celebrate a comeback win?

 

Yes. Yes. Yes. Any win at this point. Celebrate.

I just listened to the commercial from the Minnesota Lottery - they had a bonfire of Minnesota Twins season tickets - at least that is what I thought I heard.

Probably not, especially with the bottom of the pen being used. Baldelli quit on this game in the 4th inning.

Did Sano not run with two outs? I'm just using Gameday so I can't tell...

Sorry to leave ya hanging...

 

No, Sano ran well and likely read it fine. Just it was a bouncer up the middle fielded deeply enough their only play may have been to second to get him. The zoomed in on the play, so it is possible they still could have gotten Astudillo anyway, i don't know, but they were poorly positioned for that long throw.

 

And it was bang bang as it was so, a step or two might have made the difference.

Terrible waste!   Twins are laughingstock.   Terrible GM.  Terrible drafts!    No elite pitchers on team and Twins minor league teams.    Their draft strategy stinks!   Baldelli have no clue at all.     He needs to bench Sano.   He is worthless!
