In all seriousness, you can tell me anything you want based off that chart and I'm forced to believe you.

I've stared at it for 30 minutes and have no ******* idea what it claims to show.

Haha, that's fair. I promise you I am reading from the column that shows "% of PAs with less than 2 outs, runner on third and runner scored."

ok, where do they rank with all RISP stats? Where do they rank with bases loaded? Where do they rank with RISP and 2 outs?

Why do I need to waste my time looking up those stats when you tell us every day that they're terrible at all of those things?

Because you said you would save me the time of looking them up myself so I was curious and thought I’d ask. Perhaps your stat gathering ends with that one very specific stat?

Game here Polanco

[USAFChief]

Everybody take a deep breath and remember who the real enemy is: the stinking White Sox!!

Because you just said you could provide the stats. So I’m asking.

I don't get it. If you already know they're terrible why do I, or anyone, need to look up the stats for you? You already know. I have far better things to do with my time than look up stats for you that you already know.

[USAFChief]

*** **** IT! ****!!

[Aggies7]

Another one left in scoring position, 2 outs ??‍♂️

[MMMordabito]

This is just not our game.

[mrtwinsfan]

Bremer get excited there ?  got sox guys on

Wes Johnson was a miracle worker 

How so.  Did the pitchers suddenly stop doing what he worked on with them, or did the pitchers just forget?

[SanoMustGo]

great effort tonight, wouldn't be surprised if the Twins were swept or lost at least 3 of 4.

[USAFChief]

On May 24th, the Twins beat Detroit 2-0, to go 27-16. 

That's their high water mark to date.

If they lose to tonight, they'll be 22-26 since.

Long term trend not favorable. 

[Tlaker]

When was the last laugher of a game this Baldelli led team had?

[MMMordabito]

I guess this is as good a time as any for Joe Smith's rehab appearance.

Couple weeks ago, first game at Cleveland. June 27

[USAFChief]

We can't even get challenges right.

Bad enough that Gray imploded.

But I hate letting Johnny Effing Queto beat us. He's got nothing. One terrible AB after another. A good team should shell him every time. 

But Cueto does, He has looked great today. Lot's of movement on his fastballs. Froze Polanco. Great command. And he has been good all year so far, really. I would take him over Archer and Bundy. 

[MMMordabito]

Sure glad you saved that challenge, aren't ya there, Rocco?

[Aggies7]

Best thing that could happen right now is for the Sox to get hot and pass us out. Unless you’re a glutton for more playoff disappointment, that is. I can’t even come up with a 3 game series playoff rotation I feel confident in.

it’s shocking how well we’ve played against some of the better teams, which I guess is the only reason to have confidence in a playoff series.

Very challenging thing to do.

[SanoMustGo]

I'd take Cueto over any Twins starter not named Ryan.  Gray is starting to show who he really is.

I'll go with last Tuesday, 8-2 over these same opponents.

Yeah, Ryan is the only worthwhile starter on this team.  Gray will be the butt of jokes by the end of the season.

[lukeduke1980]

...and then the White Sox series happened...

Not really a laugher…. I mean when you can have the game in the background as noise and have family time with a wife that gets upset when you don’t listen to her?

please… for the mother of g…

Joe Ryan. Does he play the King part of the 7 man

[Aggies7]

Then again, the reds and Yankees are tied in the 9th after splitting the first two games…Yankees daily is probably melting down 

[SanoMustGo]

Cueto at 108 pitches...hmm wonder as a Twins fan what that feels like?
