Twins slap around Will Smith.

Well we’ve seen what it’s like when it’s the other way around.

I am a bad person and I want to see Pagan give up more HRs here because I do not like him and do not want him on the team. 

[Winston Smith]

All that great stuff Pagan has seems rather hittable.

Needs the Sonny Gray conviction quotient.

Sorry, you missed the memo.  The bar has been lowered.  We are only playing for “get a hit” or “advance runner to third” in a game anymore, not even bothering to try for runs.

[AceWrigley]

Hey, might as well treat runs like RBI's, they just don't mean that much as long as you keep your OPS up and your daily win quotient is positive. C'mon.

When did they start trying to advance runners?

In 1999, Marty Cordova led the Twins in RBI with 70. That was the lowest amount I saw looking back at the last 30 years of history on baseball reference. Jorge Polanco leads the 2022 Twins with 55 RBI. 41 games left. Will a Twins hitter finish with more than 70 RBI this year?

Festivus Miracle in our house

[USAFChief]

Celestino is who I thought he was!

[Vanimal46]

At least there’s a pulse with the bats now. Let’s see if Urshela has the clutch gene tonight. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Another!

I think we have the airing of the grievances down.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Always making it interesting!

well, not always, but still

Is there anyone, anyone at all, available to pinch hit for Cave?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

There’s a spot in the Twins hall of fame here for you Jake Cave if you can deliver … 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Worst feeling in the world.

[AceWrigley]

Sheez . . . Cave . . . 0-4 . . . 4 strikeouts.

We just don’t win against the big boys.
