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

[Aggies7]

This is absolutely just like a playoff game, right down to the offensive futility with RISP 

[Parfigliano]

Why Dick talkin about K's

[USAFChief]

Just can't not put the ball in play there, Jose. Just can't. 

 

[USAFChief]

Hard to like this team.  

 

[Aggies7]

We’re just….not very good. Don’t know what else to say about it. 

[AussieG]

pffffft

[Mike Sixel]

Sigh

Except, now we got fake baseball 

[USAFChief]

Three consecutive choke jobs.

Oh they're good...  good enough...  good enough to lose. 

Eternal optimist that I am, let me amend that to, not yet ready to win.

[Parfigliano]

Even with a little leaguer error thrown in they cant make contact to score and win.

[RickOShea]

I understand someone's gotta win and lose, but to be humiliated and laughed at, is not part of the deal.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Completely exasperated with this team.  Such utter incompetence when it matters most is beyond comprehension. 

[BH67]

Winning run on first to start the inning (thanks, Gio).

Arraez, Correa, Polanco, Miranda and Gordon to follow.

Nothing.

A loss, if it happens, is due to the offense tonight.

[Tlaker]

For the love of gawd……this team is so incompetent 

[Winston Smith]

What we just saw was this team in a nutshell.

I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes 4 after the bottom of the 10th.

[Aggies7]

Hey at least the guardians lost

 

*ducks*

[RickOShea]

Does Morneau ever hold anyone responsible for their actions.  His kids must rule their household.

Sad, but oh so true.

It’s typical former player stuff. There’s always a reason why someone didn’t come through. Has long since been annoying 

[RickOShea]

Fulmer to himself "Gotta walk this guy, to set up the double p lay"

[Pius Jefferson]

The extra innings rule is embarrassing to baseball.

[USAFChief]

Can WE get a K with bases loaded 1 out?

[luke829]

Got Hypertension? Best not to watch Minnesota Twins baseball.

[Aggies7]

Let’s make sure all the new acquisitions fall apart tonight

Hahahahaha

[srjr19]

We can but then we'll give up a grand slam on 0-2.

[Aggies7]

RISP with 2 outs. Our kryptonite. But how about theirs?

[RickOShea]

Fulmer's bellowing and grunting.  I think he passed his liver on that last pitch.
