Game Thread: Twins @ Seattle 9:10 PM CDT 6/14/2021

I understand Bremer and whoever are broadcasting from Target Field.  But when the Twins are on the road, at least quit saying here (referring to Target Field).  It's disconcerting to the fan.

We do lead the league in Center Fielder’s running into walls.  Hopefully he is ok - good to see him stay in the game.  

[Danchat]

Clearly our outfielders are the clumsiest in baseball...

Also, long time no see, Chargois.

Continuing our series of Australian sports: Boxing.

(If you are unfamiliar there’s actually a good story behind this..)

[RickOShea]

Twins who play in the outfield lead the league in whip.........wall hitting is prolific

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

So a guy found his dog being attacked by a kangaroo, and knew exactly what to do to de-escalate the situation and save his dog. This was in 2016 I think.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I know other people have said this too, but I’ve seen enough of Simmons.

[h2oface]

It's like they didn't learn anything from Buxton. Celestino is not that good to play shallow. If the staff is having him play shallow, they are just not learning. Several extra base hits could have been caught as non collision outs if he was just playing at a reasonable depth. That and his adventurous routes.

What are we thinking Duffey in the bottom half?

[h2oface]

10 hits and only 3 runs. RBI are meaningless and useless stats anyway........

[h2oface]

Will that important stat regarding shifts cost us this game?

If RBIs are so important, then Sano is the best hitter on this team! ?

[mnfireman]

There it is.....

[h2oface]

Our pitchers just think they can throw it down the very middle and they will be OK. Amazing.

Not "so" important, but not meaningless and useless. At all. I like that about Sano's offense, I gotta grab something. Definitely part of the picture, and an important part. Sure could have used some tonight. From Sano, your declared best hitter on the team.....

Just a terrible season. The sooner it’s over, the better

[twins_89]

Whatever magic the team had for putting together pitching staffs the last couple of years has completely disappeared. It's shocking just how bad the Twins pitchers are at this point.

[h2oface]

2020 Robles is back tonight. I suspect as the season progresses, we will see a lot more of it. 

People were anointing Maeda an ace for a 2 month hot streak! Not the case. 

[SanoMustGo]

I certainly hope Robles will be on the trading block.  He has been very fortunate so far this season. I am expecting his luck to run out.

[stringer bell]

If the Twins were going to use two bench players in the top half, they should have run for Sanó with Gordon.

Whoomp

[h2oface]

At least I can root for Virginia in the CWS. Go Cavaliers!

[h2oface]

I hope Celestino was watching that catch.

[operation mindcrime]

Another winnable game squandered!!!! Get to know 'em!

[h2oface]

Farrell gets high leverage, and tanks. Robles chokes. Hitters 1-7 RISP. Homers were solo. Headed for the American League cellar.

[twins_89]

The Twins bullpen leads all of MLB with 18 losses, yet it still feels like they've blown more games than that.
