We almost had Lewis back up again and not the way we wanted.

Here comes Todd jones again. Lots of work for an old man 

I was just thinking the same thing!

Let's see if Kepler can be the hero today, he's due

I'm sorry for the near-jinx!

[shortround81]

Illegal substance. Forfeit the game. We win

It’s been my experience that the zanier a pitcher’s hair style is, the whacker his stuff is

Michael Fulmer is the luckiest pitcher on the planet after what should have been a bases loaded HBP.

(Not that I want to take chances with our guy getting hit like that.)

On par with the alien sequence from Life of Brian?

 

(which i suppose is off planet in part)

[Aggies7]

Wtf kind of swing was that, max

[wsnydes]

Rosinbaggate!

Is there a causal relationship? Or coincidental?

[Aggies7]

What an unraveling of a threat 

[Jerr]

Come on let's win this one, right now!!!!

 

[rwilfong86]

Well, that didn't end well. Based loaded and nobody out and they're gonna get zilch.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Man, 2 outs. I had my heart set on a 2 run sac fly....

[wsnydes]

Well that sucked...

Yet completely predictable.

[h2oface]

Bases loaded, no outs, AGAINST THE TIGERS!

nothing

[Aggies7]

That’s some bad batting from 3 guys I wouldn’t expect it

[Mike Sixel]

Awful. Truly awful end.

[ashbury]

Bases loaded, no outs.  Twins always excel in that situation.

[Steve71]

Twins deserved to lose that game.  Zero clutch hitting--and some bad luck on some balls that were smoked, and let a poor team hang around and win.

Does ANYONE like the extra inning format that last 2 years.  It is complete horsebleep.  Cannot believe MLB lets games be decided this way.  I am glad it did not matter here.

[h2oface]

Correa, Kepler, and Sanchez. Horrible at bats.

and we got a visit from the old blowpen today. 

I guess, the ol' "you can't win them all".

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh well.

 

Sometimes you eat the Tigers...

[wsnydes]

Way too many missed opportunities today.  Way too many.

[Danchat]

This loss is on the hitters - horrid RISP and got dominated by Detroit's bullpen. The loss is not a huge deal since they snatched a couple wins the last week that we'd usually lose, but I'm still concerned about the offense. We've got to get Lewis back up in the lineup.

They had us where they wanted us.

 

No escape.

[Aggies7]

I would have bet my life that a ball would have been put in play between Correa and kepler. Pretty pathetic

Well......... the hitters didn't give up 3 homers.
