Bunch of doomers in here. Go outside and get some vitamin D. There’s more than 100 of these games left. 

Just like this one?

[LVTwinsfan]

Might as well be 10-0

[Steve71]

Dodgers and Astros series (so far) have confirmed that Twins are not competitive with top teams----yet.

Twins hitters 3 for 21 with RISP in this series.  Not going to get it done against anybody.....

It's only 3 games, and the Twins are really beat up, but feels like each game has been over before it even started. Just completely out classed in every single facet of the game, including base running, which everyone seems to think is overrated for some reason. 

Lately, it's felt like baserunning is really only useful against a particular pitcher and/or catcher who aren't good at controlling the run game. Outside of those situations, it seems too risky, especially for the Twins who already make a lot of outs on the basepaths without trying to steal.

A breqth of wind moves the flags at Target Field.

 

Gordon pokes a single over the short stop.

Then Royce pops in foul territory...

[LVTwinsfan]

Biased umpires

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Not quite there, Mr. Buxton....

 

The thought was okay.

Yep. Every single one. 18-144 here we come. 

[mrtwinsfan]

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Just gotta score more runs than outs....

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sands with the K

 

He has Albers' most recent number, right?

[LVTwinsfan]

Umpire owed us that K call on Siri

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Snapper mow 'em down inning?

Or is Snapper no longer a sponsor?

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Alright.

Let's at least make it a save opportunity for them.

Rookies have shown why they are still in AAA and some probably should still be in AA.

At that the vets are being far from good examples on how to do it.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

We can do this!

[RpR]

Either the Twins start doing some base stealing or singles are semi-worthless.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

5-0

top of 9.

The Wild? Haha, same as the Twins, can’t win in the playoffs

[RpR]

Let's see, Detroit lost 3 of their games to Houston 3-2, Minnesota 5-0, 11-4, 5-0; Five to zip, hmm, that is score Detroit beat the Yankees with.

As good as it looked , The Twins will be fortunate to win 81.

[LA Vikes Fan]

Well, this is ugly. I guess running our our AAA best isn't going to cut it against a good team. Who knew? BTW, where is that great pitching depth I keep reading about? 

[RpR]

WOW, just saw game highlight on the sports news, Thielbar took fielding lessons from Arraez!

Out AAA best could not beat the Reds.

[LVTwinsfan]

Go Wild!

[Aggies7]

Boy, this was a-rough. The team seems to reflect the intensity of their manager. Maybe rocco should see if there’s a computer app for playing hard nosed baseball. Cuz whatever this is, ain’t it

I'm not convinced intensity will help when the opposing team is far better than you in both pitching and hitting... I didn't see any difference with the squad with Tingler managing it rather than Rocco. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Game over, man!

 

Now i gotta navigate the modern ball park labyrinth...
