Game Thread: Twins vs. Tigers, 8/2/22 @ 6:40pm CT

Yeah, I'm not even going to attempt to think I know better.  My baseball went up to my soph year.  The guys running the show will forget more than I will ever know.  I know a sit down with someone in MLB front office would school any one.  If you really seriously think your baseball acumen and IQ is equivalent, you're an idiot. (Unless you've had previous experience).

Do we need to have Joe Smith anymore ??

If the Front Office did a good job, hell no.

[Vanimal46]

Let’s do it again Gio Clutch! 

[cHawk]

Someone tell the Twins that if they hit it where they ain’t they might score more often

[mrtwinsfan]

Gio is much better when the pitcher throws it into his swing

I think most hitters are

Not looking good to start the 9th,  sanchez and our Power hitting r.f.   aaaaat least we have a bench?

[Vanimal46]

The BABIP gods are not friendly to us. Particularly Urshela. Hitting the ball 107 and 100 MPH with nothing to show for it.

Sarcasm running high tonight?

[Mortimerkenny21]

J. Smith got him with the 85mph heater!

Ironically, the OF has been the least of our offensive issues tonight.

When Kepler comes back, and if Buxton happens to be available…who’s the ‘every-day’ left fielder against right-handed pitchers?

[ashbury]

Time for Beckham to demonstrate AAA wasn't a fluke.

[Aggies7]

What a wet blanket of a loss

[Rosterman]

Why was Jax pitching? Why? Why?

Not rhetorical, btw.

I’m guessing a whole lot of Gordon from here on out.  In left (and center probably). Huge opportunity for him…regardless of his future in MN.

Who would you have gone with? Would you have preferred Duffey or Smith with a lead?

I think you mean "why wasn't Jax pitching well?"

 

Right?

[USAFChief]

We could've used some old school RBI tonight.
