Game Thread: Twins @ Texas, 6/20/21 @ 1:35pm

Did Perkins just suggest that Cruz left the game so he could take a nap?

Twins have 12 hits to Texas' 3 - and they've been threatening constantly all game.

Should be up 8-0 right now, a 4-0 lead is criminal and with this bullpen that can evaporate quickly. Sure hoping the Twins don't do what we all are afraid they're gonna do right about now.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Damn Garcia is strong. That was a fine pitch, he just reached out and took it yard. 

[Squirrel]

Okay ... enough of this

[Squirrel]

Aaaaaand ... here comes Rocco

Lots of reasons to complain about the Twins this year, this game isn’t one of them

If we lose, I'm blaming you for jinxing us ... just sayin' ....

[LVTwinsfan]

All Gallo did was make up for his error allowing an unearned run

Bremer is trying to jinx them now

I have the Rangers feed. Has anyone said why Cruz left?

Rogers has pitched the last 3 days.... that would be 3 out of 3 Dick, not 3 out of 4 (well, I guess technically, it is still 3 out of 4, but that is not the call....). Come on Dick, you get paid for this.....

They had Thursday off, so Bremer was actually correct… that’s why he gets the big bucks

[LVTwinsfan]

Gallo is a real superstar in the field

Well, Cruz is famous for his naps, right? Didn't I read that somewhere?

Sorry for dumb question that may have been answered. This is my first game watching West Coast Swing. Who is the color guy with Bremer?

Pretty buff. It's too bad those arms and hands don't coordinate with his eyes better. If he could hit the ball, it should travel pretty well. Maybe he needs glasses?

[h2oface]

I would have replaced Gordon for Cruz. I mean, the H stands for hitter, and Gordon is hitting..... and Sano is ... a black hole in space, sucking all the light away.

[Danchat]

1 for 13 in RISP situations today! It’s beyond frustrating watching this offense.

[h2oface]

1 for 13 RISP. Damn 14 hits and only 4 runs. 

I love RBI. Always have, Always will.

Simmons playing second......

[h2oface]

Rortvedt's pads totally match the Rangers uniforms today. Looks like he is catching for the wrong team.

[h2oface]

Well, we can beat the worst team in the American League right now. Thankful that is not us anymore beating ourselves. 4 in a row. I'll take it all day long, regardless.
