GAME THREAD: Twins vs. Orioles, 7/1/22, 7:10CT | 8:10ET

[RickOShea]

This bullpen sucks.  If the pitch isn't center cut, it has no break or movement.  Twins' relievers are content to get by, rather than dominate 

[Mill1634]

welp. good game. see you tomorrow

[Mill1634]

polo has to make that throw

[RickOShea]

Pagan is going to be put in lower leverage situations. according to Rocco.  

I guess that means that his spikes will have their laces removed and velcro installed.

[cHawk]

Okay but why though?

[Aggies7]

What a sad sack team 

[Irishman]

Bullpen are so terrible.   Twin meltdown!

Please DFA Pagan!   He is not that good!

[h2oface]

Can't watch this crap any more. I'm out. It is just too pathetic.

Looks like the 'polo experience" is back.  He hits a homer to help the Twins take the lead then throws the ball into the camera well,  late in the game, giving up the lead.

Our catcher should have caught the ball thrown by Polanco.

to be fair, he may have been safe either way, but the throw has to be made

My thoughts exactly!  Their chances of winning, even down by one run, are virtually nil.  Absolutely pathetic!

Me, too!   I’m out.   They are so awful.   They are embarrassing to watch.

I love how the Twins are inches away from sweeping their division rival, take a series loss from it, and then refuse to show up against the Orioles of all teams.

2021 Twins are BAAAAAACK.

Only better thing right now is Miranda's bat so far is nice.

good throw and its a ezzy Out

[operation mindcrime]

Couldn't Ryan have gone another inning? Would his arm fall off if he'd thrown a 90th pitch?

Doesn't surprise me, due our agonizing tendency to play down to the perceived level of the day's competition.  More often than not, it comes back to bite them in the hind end, like tonight. 

[operation mindcrime]

Hopefully we can rally and win this!!!!

Nice to dream of, but I wouldn't count on it happening.

Problem is more than half of the arms in the pen should only be used in low leverage situations.  Not a good position to be in.

[Mill1634]

my prediction for bottom 9

5-3, K, F7

[MMMordabito]

Minaya should get another day in the seat in front of Pagan.

[MMMordabito]

3U, K, BB, 3U

[wabene]

Just got back into civilization luckily missing the epic bullpen meltdowns in Cleveland. Low turnout tonite. Low mood. Gots three outs let's go! 

[mrtwinsfan]

Luis   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Luis!
