Game Thread: 8/10/22, Twins @ Los Angeles Dodgers, 10:10pm ET

[RpR]

I wonder if the Dodgers starting this rookie pitcher is a way of showing the Twins how little respect they hae for them.

[mnfireman]

Cave with a terrible swing at an unsuitable pitch on 3-1....

Take this team…literally!

[Aggies7]

Our offense is so bad lol 

[Aggies7]

The offense can’t possibly still be top 5 in the AL in most categories, right? We can’t still be living off of April and May, right?

Our pitching is so bad as well…how are we not 0-109

[Parfigliano]

Weak 

[Aggies7]

I’m not much of a stat head but an average OPS+ is 100 and tim Beckham’s ops+ coming into this game was -16

 

i don’t think that’s good

Either that or perhaps the Kershaw injury.

Yikes…that’s not good

I do not know what Urshela did to get in the doghouse. This line up would look a little better with him DHing and batting 5th.

Small sample size for sure but yowza

[Aggies7]

Max muncy looks like he’s on roids. Late 90s looking body 

[Mortimerkenny21]

Dangit..we just got Munci'ed again!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

solo homers won’t kill you

or something 

[IndyTwinsFan]

I can basically see that Dodger HR being the beginning of the end for this game, even though we're only in the 2nd inning.

It's like golf, right? The lower the number the better?

I’d sooner get munci’ed out here in the middle of nowhere 

[ashbury]

Muncy HR.

Ballgame.

[Parfigliano]

Twin base running there

People wanted the hot bat called up, but his AAA numbers were a mirage.

At least to some stat heads.

People also thought he had trade value for... some reason. 

[cHawk]

Can anyone shut down the Dodgers?

Is that better or worse than getting Munson'd?

Listen, I couldn’t explain all the various new age stats, but I find it difficult to understand how a number like that could be NEGATIVE. Even with a SSS

[Aggies7]

Good grief, extra base on a steal attempt 

[cHawk]

Gee, I hope we can double up the worst hitter in baseball

[cHawk]

Not a good inning for Gray
