Game Thread: Twins at Rangers, 7 - 8 - 22 @ 7:10pm

[Mill1634]

If we get out of this with the lead I'll consider it a W

[Parfigliano]

Probable WP to bring in 3rd run

[stringer bell]

Rangers with one more productive out than the Twins have made.

[Aggies7]

Gotta get guys in with risp. Just have to. A story as old as time

[Mill1634]

Not sure why you don't bring in Thielbar to face the lefty right there. 

[Schmoeman5]

I'm don't know for sure but I think Rocco was arguing the fact that Garver made no attempt to avoid the pitch

[Shaitan]

Not a fan of the autoplay video everytime I open TD.

[chpettit19]

Finally Rocco managing with his gut and letting a starter learn how to get out of trouble! Season saved!

That’s gotta be nasty on the teeth. And really crunchy. 

[stringer bell]

When Gray is sharp, hitters seldom get to two balls, he's thrown way too many out of the zone.

[Montdak]

I expected no less.  Bad stupid beats like our last lead to losing streaks and maybe season unraveling.  If they pull it now maybe the opposite .

Yea there’s definitely no difference between what’s happening here and what happened with, say, bundy the other night lol

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Infield flies rule.

[stringer bell]

I knew he hadn't fanned many. I did not think Gray had zero strikeouts in the game.

[bighat]

Games like this can be upsetting, but right now I'm bothered a lot more by the loss the other night to the Sox. No sense of urgency, just handing wins out like candy.

The Twins give away way too many games, they are living way too close to the edge and at some point a real slump is going to kick in and they're going to let the division slip through their fingers.

Yes.

Unless it's a mounds.

[Montdak]

Gray had six great plays behind him.  Too bad.

Yet you think Rocco was wrong with the Bundy move. Weird.

Yeah I do because these two situations aren’t remotely comparable. But do go on

[Parfigliano]

Great another game where the pen has to get at least 13 outs to get a win.

There will be more....

Pretty sure he will pitch another game.

[Mill1634]

Imagine if Gray didn't have the best defensive performance of the year tonight. It's rare to see a veteran like him just lose it in an inning like that.

[Mill1634]

 

 

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sigh.

 

Down by 3.

[Mill1634]

welp. Bullpen comes through as expected

[Parfigliano]

What was that 4 pitches and boom

[Schmoeman5]

So much for the left on left match-up 

[Montdak]

Pretty pathetic.

[Mill1634]

Just a terrible ****ing pitching on 1-2 on a lefty on lefty matchup. inexcusable. 

[Aggies7]

Big wow
