Ideally, no. ?

I don't think you guys know how an anti-jinx works, or how to roll with it.

PS.   One post in the game thread.  One walk-off homer.  My work here is done.  You're welcome.

[IndianaTwin]

And there's the hazard of using pitchers according to the "defined" role. One wonders if it may have burned the Brewers to use Hader for the save in a three-run game last night. 

[Winston Smith]

I'm sure that surprised no one.

With Hader pitching I expect a 1-2-3 inning.

Didn't specify if that was baserunners or outs.

Our comments were correct, yours goes into the pile with all the other negative crap

The always-popular "pitched to three batters in ninth" line in the box score.

Just pathetic. 

 

 

I like the reverse psychology you used here!!!!!

He was correct in that assessment. But that's why we love baseball. You always get another chance

[dex8425]

Yeah I think Miranda is going to hit a little bit for the Twins the next several seasons.

Next time someone asks me why game threads aren't fun anymore, I'll have to remember this sequence.

[Battle ur tail off]

This kid might be a stud. He has been better than I thought he would be. Takes professional at bats, and a walk if they don't feed him. When they talk to him, it sounds like he is a student of the game/hitting. 

Love it, keep it going young man!

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.

Winner!

Read the whole thread with all the negativity on this site before you start pointing fingers, this site ceased being fun long before this exchange

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

Post game spread?

Hey Booboo! Looks like another picnic basket!

 

 

(er, i guess that would be smarter than the average team. My bad)

And courtesy of the nice work out of the pen from Thielbar and Jax, and the drawn walk by Polanco and nice single by Kepler to keep the line moving, and the RBI single and great catch by Celestino...

Luckily only their 7 good players had to play today. Thank goodness only Ryan and Duran had to pitch or they definitely wouldn't have won cuz all those other bad pitchers would've given up runs. You may be on to something with this being 7 guys doing all the work in the wins...
