Waay outside, called a strike there. But it looked like he went around...

 

[James]

Jeffers with that infield single.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Getting guy's on base every inning, c'mon lets capitalize! 

[SanoMustGo]

8 baserunners, 1 run so far...sound familiar?

[USAFChief]

I'm told RBI are meaningless.

yeah cause scoring runs doesn't matter

[SanoMustGo]

2 on no outs and the next two guys don't make contact.  Buxton on his way to the Mendoza line.  He has to be hurt, cause there is NO WAY he could suck that bad.

[Aggies7]

Boy that’s pathetic. Wretched fundamentals. Wretched situational hitting. Unclutch team 

[SanoMustGo]

I think we are going to lose this game, too many missed opportunities.  With a good Brewers bullpen, and a bad Twins bullpen this team just walked itsef into a corner today.  Typical.  The Twins are a bad baseball team, and have been for the past near two months.

[MMMordabito]

Buxton below Mendoza line by AS break?

FTFY

EDIT: It's actually "just" seven LOB so far. It just shows up as 14 LOB in the individual totals because a guy who leads off the inning with a walk and doesn't score shows up as an LOB for each of the next three batters.

Agreed, I said that a few days ago,

[Aggies7]

Byron isn’t even a top 5 hitter on his own team right now.

never will be with his fragile body

[dex8425]

Ryan only at 64 pitches but not sharp.

It's been awhile since ANY starter has been sharp

[James]

Looks like Joe Ryan might be losing his feel 

[SanoMustGo]

Good grief, come on!

[Winston Smith]

You can't expect a starter to go over 5 innings. 

[Aggies7]

Walking bottom of the order guys have been killing this team for weeks

[SanoMustGo]

1st place or not, this team is a mess.  Don't like what I'm seeing at all.  They don't do ANY of the little things good teams do.  They will probably win the division at 81-81.  I could care less if they make the playoffs.  I need to see improvement first.  Won't be long and Seattle will have a better record.

[IndianaTwin]

Garlick powdered that line drive.

I guess if you don't like what you're seeing and could care less it's time to stop watching/following. Literally everything negative. I didn't know it had to be so hard to be a Twins fan. Bummer man.

I am just mirroring what I see.  Do you see something different?

I guess that goes for both teams.

It's easy, I expect nothing from this organization, and other than 2019, tht's what I have seen since 2010.  I'm ok with it, but I'll still objectively comment.

I would say you’re filtering what you see. The Twins aren’t a great team this year, but they are not the ‘62 Mets.

Good excuse.

They will be worse next season with Correa gone.  I don't see a core of players here that will lead to any level of success.

[SanoMustGo]

RISP 1-8.  10 baserunners in 5 innings, 1 run
