Q. How do you know the Twins won’t score a run in an inning?

A. They get a lead-off double.  LOL

This is a phenomenon that goes back to that wild card game against the Yankees in '15.  Every time the Twins score they give up a run or runs in the next half inning.

Uncanny, isn't it?

[RickOShea]

Until Rocco starts thinking of station to station baseball, these doubles with 2 outs or less are just going to die at 2nd base.  Since the Twins choke on getting that big hit, they need to employ small ball. Base to base.  Can't be any worse than their current strategy.  A few more drill daily on bunting and advancing runners is in order.

Or load the bases with less than two outs.

[RickOShea]

Most of the Twins hitters have shown they have at least warning track power.  Now, they have to prove they can lay down the 20 ft bunt.

Not as much exercise as I should be getting.

I don't get exercise either. What is the point of running around without going anywhere?

Now Rocco leave Mcgill in , we need more of these back end bullpen guys to pitch multiple innings

I see you found the actual game thread. I guess you became literate enough to realize it? ?

Wow...C4 is really struggling with guys on base. He can't do much of anything.

The pop up by Buck definitely wasn't, though. 

[TWTwinsFan]

C4 is not any better than Palacios right now

and Buck is doing his thing toward Mendoza Line...

For us, that's only allowed one inning per game, and that inning has already happened today.
