CRIPES!!

[Aggies7]

So unclutch

[SanoMustGo]

more of the same

[IndianaTwin]

I hate it when Counsell places his defense according to his spreadsheet. 

 

[Aggies7]

What facet of the game do the twins do better than an average team?

[CRF]

They should've just sent CC and hoped for a bad throw to the plate, because we can't buy a clutch hit....ever.

Scoring runners from 3rd with less than 2 outs.

That was such a GD awful AB from Miranda.

Just pathetic.

Tell us how you really feel!

From my view,, it was about 50-50 for Correa to score. With two outs, he should have been sent. With one, probably best to hold him.

Inducing stress on Twins Daily game thread posters.

They do that to themselves

[SwainZag]

Bottom 8, perfect time to push a run across.  Score, Duran 1-2-3 for the 9th.  Ballgame.

Post game spread?

Bunt?

 

[wavedog]

I should clarify are we going to bunt here?

But the team helps.

[wavedog]

Why bunt when you can swing for a 2-run HR

I'm going to guess the answer is "no."

Normally yes, but we’ve been so atrocious with RISP, we might be better off hoping for a double or long ball 

[Aggies7]

The fundamentals are severely lacking

I still wanted to see the bunt.

[wavedog]

Right side of the infield was wide open for a bunt for Gordon - could have even bunted for a hit.  

[Schmoeman5]

Nice AB for Kiriloff. More please

?‍♂️ All I do is report the numbers. Twins accomplish that goal 56.9% of the time. League average is 51.1%. They're 5th best in baseball.
