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

Should have had Cave bunt Correa over, you knew he was going to roll one over.

[RickOShea]

Oh My!

[SwainZag]

Rough day at the dish for Jose

[Parfigliano]

Bad bad Miranda.

[RickOShea]

Come on 401K!

[LVTwinsfan]

The Twins need a rally gardenhire gnome.

[USAFChief]

I'm relishing the rant I'm gonna unleash next time someone writes "RBI are a meaningless measure of offense."

It won't change their mind, but it'll lower MY blood pressure.

[Aggies7]

Lose this game and I think that’s it. Not statistically but I can’t imagine crawling out of this pit of misery. Losing 5 of 7 to the god awful rangers with the astros on deck. Inconceivable 

[Parfigliano]

I can only assume as a child Kepler was disciplined if he hit to the opposite field

[jkcarew]

MLB.com saying a HIP injury for Buxton. ?

Or his family had an adjacent lot on the right side in their back yard.

Did you know his parents were both in the ballet?

 

Hahahahahahaja

[RickOShea]

Bremer is full of donkey dung.  After 30 years he acts like his knowledge of the game and Minnesota is limited to shoveling snow and hating the   Metrodome.

[Aggies7]

“But but we’re in first place” sounds like a ridiculous argument now, doesn’t it?

[mrtwinsfan]

$$$$$$ Odds tomm. ??  Verlander against, either Smeltzzer or Sands

Well yeah. I mean, we're not.

 

 

Hahahahaha.

A good practical joke would be to sub Verlander's PEDs with Viagara.  I bet he would pitch from the stretch, the entire game.

He hasnt picked up a shovel in years

[h2oface]

At least my national league team is playing great baseball, and doesn't just disappear.

Always did, eh? "Don't worry, be happy, blind and deaf. Just be happy" If you are complacent and only treading water, it is only a matter of time before you finally sink and die.

Even when winning, you must look to, and strive to identify weaknesses, admit them, and improve.

[USAFChief]

"Not with a bang, but a whimper."

 

 

[IndyTwinsFan]

Yet another pathetic offensive effort in the books.

And to think I wasted a good chunk of my evening watching this.

[LVTwinsfan]

Yeah that’s not good enough

[IndyTwinsFan]

I see a sweep by Houston coming. 

[h2oface]

This team is making me sick. It is like watching the Padres tank in seasons past after the hopeful starts.

[RpR]

It seems the Twins hitters have not only to bunt and steal, but how to foul off pitches.

A barely audible whimper. 

[Aggies7]

That’s all she wrote. Embarrassing

It's already happened to me.
