GAME THREAD: 6/8/21, Minnesota Twins vs New York Yankees, 7:10 CDT

[USAFChief]

Color me shocked. 

[Aggies7]

What the F was that

[LaBombo]

Always comforting to know that if the Yankees aren't up to beating the Twins, our boys will step up and do it themselves.

[mnfireman]

What is this? Small ball? Move runners over, bunt?? There is no room for this in baseball.....

That was our 2021 Minnesota Twins.  Ok Taylor, just give up a bomb and put us out of our misery.

[Aggies7]

Bases loaded walk

wild pitch

error at 3B

inexplicable cut off on a sac fly

spike throw home

 

this is why we lose

[mnfireman]

And the typically sure handed and accurate throwing 2B with an uncharacteristic error...

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Hip hip 

 

* hiccup *

[Aggies7]

2 runs, might as well be 200

You forgot leadoff walk to hitter who hadn't drawn a walk in 2021.

[Aggies7]

And now we don’t touch the bag. Unreal

and ending like it always does with this team

 

[LaBombo]

Play stopped momentarily as the Yankees challenge the Twins' right to be in Major League Baseball...

[Aggies7]

Might as well burn out our closer, in case we somehow have a lead tomorrow

Rocco always believes Twins are too good for that.

This is what happens when you get your hopes up... especially with a bad team like this one.

This keeps up and Rocco MIGHT miss his post game nap

The more things change......

[USAFChief]

I hear Rocco has gotten tough with the team over defensive ineptitude...pregame infield is now "encouraged."

I am really starting to dislike this team and manager...ALOT

[h2oface]

And Nick Nelson was just trying to convince readers that Taylor Rodgers was back in that article yesteday.....

[Danchat]

I know this defense is really bad, but would it hurt to get a strikeout, Rogers? 

[LaBombo]

Maybe my favorite part of this particular collapse is that Bremer has managed to sound as bewildered as a flummoxed schoolmarm by the idea that the Twins might somehow turn in a poor performance against the Yankees...

[Aggies7]

Is there any reason Rogers is going to be allowed to throw 20 pitches this inning?

Winner

 

[SanoMustGo]

The Yankees have earned NOTHING tonight.  This was a total giveaway.  Good chance this ends up an 0-6 week.

One thing they didn't do is pile up 14 K's, 12 of which come with runners on.
