Game Thread Twins @ Royals 1910 cdt 4/20/2022 ad

[RpR]

Arraez can hit when there is no pressure, but he has struck out twice when it really mattered.

[snotboogie]

Ok, ok.  I'll take one for the team.  the weather has been so bad that there has been no chicken on the grill.  I just got a new Traeger smoker and I'll try to get a chicken dinner going.

What is going on with this team? They're sleep walking through April... again.   If this continues Baldelli needs to go, even if only to shake things up and get a different voice in the dugout. It's embarrassing. No one wants to watch this crap for another summer.

[RpR]

I thought they got a new hitting coach; maybe they should get one that has dealt with the Majors before.

Blech. I'm starting to get the feeling I'll be watching a lot more Brewers games than Twins games as this season progresses...

Brewers?

[tony&rodney]

Well, Paddack, Thielbar, and Stashak all looked pretty good. So there is that.

He will be gone if this spirals into another miserable year. The team hitting 864 homers in 2019 makes any manager looks wonderful

I casually follow the Brewers (lived in MKE just before returning to the TC) and we launched a Brewers site earlier this year.

Perhaps he means only the product of the world's finest Brewers can get us through this season.  In copious amounts.

[PopRiveter]

Soooooooo. We didn’t win?

[Irishman]

Twins lost again tonight.

3 GIDPs.  5 hits!  No extra base hit!    5 LOBs!  Hitting coaches should be fired.  Baldelli should be fired as well.

This team is an embarrassment!.  This team is JOKE!

I’d start thinking bigger and look at the Front Office. Baldelli is doing what they want with the players they’re providing to him.

I will not watch Twins games until next year.   i hate losing all times.  I am sick of it!

Halfway through first month of games last year - the month everyone thinks of as ruining their season - they were 5-7 (through first 12 games). This year? 4-8.

The players can all hit better than this, they have done it before; they need  hitting coach that consists of more than a title.

I still see April 24 as the point at which if they are not .500 or very close, as the day the season stands still.

This might be the topic for tomorrows game thread. Thanks for the inspiration!!

Correa was a top pick.

Buxton was another.

 

Pickles are worthy of discussion, even when ya don't want one.
