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

Doesn't matter who you are or how well you've been pitching, if you're a Twins starter in the 6th inning, it feels like it's a guarantee that the opposing team will get at least 2 baserunners every time. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

A foot short...

 

I wonder if he fields that cleanly could he have gotten the force at second?

[IndyTwinsFan]

I'm seeing Texas scoring multiple runs this inning.  Hope I'm wrong.

I got faith.

He's a wizard.

I think Gandalf was named after him.

Only thing more negatively in their heads is a playoff game

won't have to worry about that this season

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Well, 1 run in...

 

We can still limit the damage.

I don't think there's anything in their heads, I just don't think our pitching is that good. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Two outs...

[SanoMustGo]

this has to be some kind of joke, right, this team just can't be this bad

Doesn't really matter. Unless you think that the Twins are going to score again.

[USAFChief]

It worked out, but pitching to Garcia with 1st base open and Heim on deck was a bad decision. 

[SanoMustGo]

enjoy the close game, there won't be any in Houston

It is easier to play for one run if you have to.

 

Yes, I think the Twins will score again.

If not today, tomorrow.

Twins collectively say, "hold my beer"

[SwainZag]

Working out of that mess with only giving up a 1 run should be considered a win.

Couldn’t agree more. I actually had a thought the wild pitch was intentional. Then, he looks to the dugout for the 4 fingers, and Rocco…??

Don't need to predict the futre to see that massacre coming.  Who is starting for the Twins that series?...LOL

However, they've been showing it almost every time they've played the last couple of months or so.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Kepler!

A hustle play (and hope the pitcher isnokay)

I bet smallball numbers can work too.

[SanoMustGo]
