Game Thread: Twins @ Tigers (Doubleheader), 7/17/2021

[Danchat]

This team finds some incredible ways to lose games. It's at least more exciting than the 2011-14 stretch where they would lose games because they flat-out sucked.

I’m the bad luck.  In Detroit but not at the game.  Just walked into my hotel room and turned on the TV in the bottom of the 8th. Sorry, sorry…

Classic. Back to Twins 2021 baseball. That's OK. 7-inning games and runners on second in the extra inning(s) aren't real MLB baseball anyway. And Gordon isn't a center fielder. And Rogers was tired from not playing on Tuesday. Classic.

Larnach 0 for 6, Kiriloff 0 for 7 yep lets get rid of the veterans and see what the AAA boys can  do.

I get the same level of entertainment watching this team as I did watching Mad Dog chuck up threes in the final game of the season or Martell Webster go in and dunk the ball at the buzzer down three.

Man on 2nd base in extra inning and 7th inning rule are stupid.  Bad rules!   Manfred must be dumbest than 1st graders.   What a joke he is!

What?

It is time to bench Larnach and Kirilloff tomorrow.    Please don’t trade Buxton to Yankees or other teams!

Sorry. Do I need to use an emoji? ?

Ah, but can they sustain it?

Tune in tomorrow to find out.
