Game Thread: Twins v Blue Jays, 8/5/22 @ 7:10pm Local Time

[RickOShea]

Waht a shame. 2 if not the best 2 centerfielders on the bench: Buxton and Springer.  It's a different ballgame from when I was a kid.

[Nine of twelve]

Why must it be this way?

[Aggies7]

Why doesn’t our offense pressure opposing pitchers all game like this? Toronto could honestly be a dark horse pennant contender 

[RickOShea]

One more choke left in us?

[AussieG]

where was our 2nd baseman?

They have the third best record in the AL. That's not exactly dark horse.

[Aggies7]

Tilapia is a junk fish, can tapia be a junk batter please 

[RickOShea]

Beckham still at first in the top of ninth?  Unbelievable.

It is when Houston and the Yankees are what they are.

[USAFChief]

Glad we couldn't cash either of those leadoff doubles. 

[Aggies7]

SOB

[RickOShea]

Quick, someone give me the heimlich maneuver.

[srjr19]

We are a cursed franchise.

[Aggies7]

This one hurts

Do you think maybe there's nobody else available?

Because it's the Twins.  Need we say more.

Remember, we can't have nice things here.

[RickOShea]

Now we know how we got these two guys. Mahle and Lopez.

[Aggies7]

Figures, we go out and get a stud closer and he blows his second appearance here. Must be the target field mound

[USAFChief]

0-2 pitch. Again.

Because Twins repeatedly cant score on a lead off double and TOR can score with 2 outs

[SanoMustGo]

LOL, didn't expect anything different.  Might as well lose now.  I know it's only one game, but will Lopez turn into the pitcher he always was before this season?

[AussieG]

Pagan gets the 10th?

Sure.  Why make it easy on ourselves?  That would be way too easy.

[RickOShea]

Jays just put the bat on the ball.  Twins can't make contact.  Hard to swing when your gasping to breathe.

[Aggies7]

The good news is we used our good pitchers tonight 

 

oh wait
