Game Thread Twins vs Guardians 6/21/22 6:40 PM CDT

Bert's favorite, a two out sac fly.....

[Montdak]

Typical.  They won on a bloop and we lose on a blast.  I fear this will be the beginning of them beating us all year.  

[Tlaker]

If they don’t win tomorrow….. I seriously doubt they will ever lead the division again….not with this manager, anyway.

[Irishman]

Twins is laughingstock of all laughingstocks!  Twins is a real joke.   Pitching is a joke!   Ryan is not very good pitcher.   

[RaoulDuke]

Damn Miranda was so close.

Sad to see the Arraez bomb wasted, that would have been a major start to all the games vs Cle and Chi.

I think you nailed it. Duffey and Bundy’s days are probably numbered here in Minnesota. Smeltzer has been a very pleasant surprise, but I am concerned it’s not sustainable. 

Jax’s days are numbered!

15    K,S      TERRIBLE AT BATS

[SwainZag]

3 straight innings with a runner on 1st or 2nd with zero outs where a hit wins/extends the game..... and zero bunts.  Zero runners moved over. Zero runs.  

[Irishman]

Twins will not win the division this season.

He's our 2nd best reliever!

Baldelli had no clue how to manage the ballgames.    He needs to be fired!

I don't think he needs to fired, but man......I don't care if Correa is up.  Move the runners up.

You expect the relievers to throw a shut-out every inning?

Ryan gave up a home run and so did Pagan, what is the difference.

Pagan threw one inning.....is that simple enough for you?

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Urshela needs to sit for a while.....his bat looks incredibly slow right now.  Miranda at 3rd.

We are going to blame Pagan?  In the 9th inning the Twins needed 1 run to win the game.  Leadoff man gets on, they don't score.  In the 10th they need 1 run to win the game, they have a man on 2nd and no outs.....no score.   In the 11th, they need 1 run to tie the game, runner on 2nd with no outs.  They don't score.  

We can rag on the bullpen all day, but in the end the offense did not come through with ample opportunities tonight.

I was responding to the bizarre take that Ryan gave up a homerun and so did Pagan....what was the difference.  i was defending Ryan.  If we get 6 inning and 3 ER's from every starter, we'll be fine.

The inexplicable Taylor Rogers trade strikes again.

Where do you find these people?

[CRF]

We usually have multiple instances where one run wins the game...yet, we don't play to get one run. We don't do the little things to try and get one run. That's on the manager. There are times when you have to throw out the sheets of paper and play good old fashioned BASEBALL.
