[Aggies7]

Another injury, splendid

[Aggies7]

Dr Baldelli will almost certainly be using an abundance of caution 

[Brock Beauchamp]

That was a pretty **** move from Anderson. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

a risk Polanco just had to take

[USAFChief]

Has Polanco gotten to 2nd base yet?

[Brock Beauchamp]

And now Maeda looks like a completely different pitcher. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Simmons is really something else in the field.

Yes...he’s giving up runs much more efficiently now.

[Aggies7]

Sigh. Larry sheets’ son is killing us

[Brock Beauchamp]

Woof. Maeda finally looks good, induces weak contact, and this is the inning he gets.

This didn't age well.

He’s making his pitches, that’s all he can do.

I don’t consider 70mph “hits” the fault of the pitcher. 

[Aggies7]

Everything started so well, too

The single to left was smoked, on an 0-2 count no less. He has nothing. 

[Aggies7]

What a wretched inning. All around.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Dude, Kepler, seriously. 

[Aggies7]

Checking maeda’s equipment for substances. He might have throw about 8 good pitches tonight

[Brock Beauchamp]

This team just finds ways for the wheels to come off. 

[jkcarew]

Starter gave up 13 baserunners in 4+ innings...it’s a small miracle they’ve only scored 6.

Something is off. It is possible something drastic needs to happen, and I've been saying "no" to that. But something is wrong.

[Vanimal46]

Not swinging for moon shot HRs every plate appearance still wins a lot of ballgames. I’m envious Chicago can smack the ball all over the field. 

[jkcarew]

Against what is about Chicago’s D or E lineup.

[Aggies7]

Shift saved a hit tonight. Cost about 4-5

It's the least professional, least prepared, least "heads-up" Twins team in my memory. 

 

That's on Rocco and staff.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I keep seeing Beggar's Pizza in the background and want it to be Beggar's Opera...

Where we’re going, we don’t need fundamentals

It’s definitely bad. The worst? Dunno. I remember some truly awful teams from 2012-2016, never mind the 90s.

But that’s picking nits. They were all terrible at baseball in fundamental ways. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Maeda looked like he had just finished a 9 inning marathon or a 15-round fight with Ali

[operation mindcrime]

The Rusty Patched Bumble Bee has more fight than this team!!!!
