Game Thread Twins @ Yankees 3:05 ET 9/7/22

[h2oface]

Ryan expresses what he thought of the ball four call - "mother****er" 

There goes the no-hitter.

[USAFChief]

Immediately in trouble.

..... but not rattled.

Man, too bad there wasn't a play on for the pick off. Ryan had him with nobody to throw it to and had to wait.

[h2oface]

One idiotic comment on base size from Perkins.

The distance between first and second - and second and third - is 4 1/2 inches closer. 3" more from the foul lines, and the 3 inch increase of the second base bag is split 1 1/2 both ways.

Garlick and Cave vs Cole. The Yankees defense should have just stayed in the dugout 

Of the 9 Twins strike outs, they account for 3, yea the other boys are doins SO well.

I’ll share this in the game thread I guess.

When you are done, please forget you ever read it. 

Thad Levine is on the radio broadcast right now. Dan Gladden asked Levine why Twins players don’t steal bases. Levine answered: “Some Twins players are psychologically afraid of failure. We are working with them and Twins coaches are trying to help them.”

Levine at least gets points from me for not naming names, and for speaking publicly when times are tough, something he does more than Falvey.

Why are we not attacking some of these guys? Concerned with Marwin and his .201 BA?

[Aggies7]

Not a great feeling about this 

[SanoMustGo]

Ryan is just asking for it, and he will deserve what he gets.  Cleveland is ahead.

[Aggies7]

Good night Irene 

[Aggies7]

IKF with 3 clutch hits in this series alone. We had him once 

[Aggies7]

2 walks because Ryan lacks a strikeout pitch

[RpR]

Falefa like playing the Twins.

The shift is working SO well for the Twins.

[SwainZag]

You can't make this stuff up.  

[lukeduke1980]

Didn't we have kaelefa?

[SanoMustGo]

We will be out of it after this weekend.  6 or 7 games out.  This team is truly terrible

[Winston Smith]

Hanging breaking balls go a long way.

That’s what you get for pitching cute to Marwin Gonzalez 

[HokieRif]

Death, taxes, and the Twins losing to the Yankees

[h2oface]

There goes the shutout.

Looks like we the Yankees have the best shortstop this 4 game series.

[jkcarew]

That’s 18 innings of Twins scoring with one swing of the bat for that bad guys.

We don't have to make it up we've seen it all before.

[Aggies7]

Let’s be real, nobody wanted to see pagan try to close out a one run lead anyway 

[Battle ur tail off]

lol. You just can’t make it up. He might as well join the rest of the pitching staff in giving up homer after homer after homer.

And to a guy that never hits em our staff gives up 2 to him this series 

[Aggies7]

So completely and utterly tired of losing to this team.

Totally beat the broadcast to the base size issue!

[Vanimal46]

Provus and Gladden have Levine on the radio and they aren’t towing the company line like Dick Bremer. Gladden asked why they aren’t teaching pitchers to make it the 3rd time through the order… Provus questioned Buxton’s rest schedule and hiding him at DH. 

Levine obviously went with corporate speak saying many words that ended up being nothing at all. But I respect them at least asking some tough questions. 

[Aggies7]

39-113 in the last 20 years.

[Battle ur tail off]

At least after this series we can kind of tune out and put our energy into the Vikings disappointing everyone and just missing the playoff again
