Sigh

[RpR]

Sure glad they have Arraez playing; maybe for old times sake he will throw one out into right field in this game.

[Aggies7]

Giving this inning/game away. Walks and an error 

[Danchat]

The margin for pitching is going to be thin when your hitters go 0 for 10 with RISP...

Jeffers isn't good throwing out base stealers, but those three stolen bases were 99.9% on Winder. 

Except for the one Jeffers threw into center field.

[Mill1634]

This ump has been brutal on borderline pitches

[Aggies7]

Wow what a total loss of control from the pitchers

[RpR]

Its the Twilight Zone and we are back in 2021.

[Danchat]

Romero is the guy to go out there with the bases loaded and no outs?! The waiver claim who should probably be in AAA right now? Yeesh, this gives me vibes of JR Graham vs A-Rod with the bases juiced. Please prove me wrong here...

[Aggies7]

Where is that rain they promised was coming? Could really use it now 

[RpR]

The hitless wonders a back when the Twins got their only run can blame only themselves for this.

Although Arraez eliminated a double play with his slick fielding skill.

[LVTwinsfan]

The problem is the Twins haven’t used enough pitchers in this game 

[USAFChief]

The Twins bullpen is thin, this isn't news.

There's a lot of middle relievers in the Twins' bullpen. I don't think there are a lot of good options right now.

Agreed, I'm not mad with Rocco about it - you can't trade Rogers and have Joe Smith be the biggest pen addition over the offseason and expect to have a good bullpen. 

[Mill1634]

I'd be surprised if Romero was still on the Twins (and maybe the 40 man) tomorrow.

[Guest]

My god this is painful…

[Aggies7]

Ugliest inning of the year, so there’s that

[Mill1634]

We were never going to sweep this series (probably anyway). Gotta come out with a split tomorrow.

The Alcala injury certainly doesn't help matters either.

Too perfect 

[Mill1634]

Arreaz is terrible in the field.

[Aggies7]

Poor Luis.

Now we miss Donaldson BADLY.

[wsnydes]

What.

Was.

That?

Poor Luis. 

Just like last year.

[wsnydes]

At least the weak part of their lineup is coming back around...

[Aggies7]

It’s hard to get 3 outs, it’s even harder to get like 6

[RpR]

I have a feeling tomorrows game will be similar.

[Aggies7]

Holy god it won’t end
