Billy Hamilton shouldn't be batting un any major league game. He makes Sano look like Ted Williams.

He hit the ball , which is what he is supposed to do.

Was it last year or the year before where he absolutely owned the twins? Was he with KC or CWS at the time?

I don't think Ted Williams played for either KC or Chicago. 

Nor last year, come to think of it.

Ah the days when barbers went broke.... and not because of the coronavirus.

I hope the queen doesn’t see that tasteless joke, wherever she is

Or Mrs. Calabash...

I think the Twins missed Cortes in the early series when he was injured. 

He's good.

No other comment, really.

Using the death of some one who was well respected , by many, as the butt of childish humor is  a desperate cry for attention.

[USAFChief]

I think maybe the worst part of this entire debacle....we're getting owned by Isiah Kiner-Effing-Falefa.

Ferpetesakes.

Holy mackerel! Talk about fashion! I wonder if you could find the bird dress at a local TJ Max?? Asking for a friend.

Didn’t they beat him

you are correct sir

[RpR]

Do the Twins have a edict against swinging at the first pitch?

[Aggies7]

But in all serious, I’m actually stunned that Carlos “we only signed him for his glove” correa could accept a DH role tonight, understanding the importance of this game and the drop off in quality of his replacement. It’s befuddling. And he’s 0-2 to boot

I expect the leftists sitting on the bench will come into the game once the Yanks bring in a proper Tory from the bullpen to pitch.

Arraez sitting might be more palatable if Hamilton wasn't trying to improve upon his .000 BA from the right side of the plate. SSS yada yada but oof. 

[SanoMustGo]

Twins looking good again tonight.

 

[Aggies7]

Thank god Nestor the pester is on a pitch count tonight. Maybe we could eek out a hit by the 6th inning 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

"Carlos Correa grounds out softly"

Nine syllables, has a nice rhythm, but I'd find different words

I want to hear Roberta Flack sing that.

[SanoMustGo]

Well the Sox have a 4 gamer against the formidable A's, while the Twins get 3 really good Cle SP.  Me thinks things will look REALLY bad come Monday.

[CRF]

The good thing is...after we lose this game and get swept by the Yankees...we can go to Cleveland for three games and get whupped by them! Well, I thought there was something good in there, but maybe not.

Billy Hamiltons career ba is higher than Sano’s

[Aggies7]

But seriously are we going to get a hit

Yes we are 

[Mortimerkenny21]

Gio's single followed by a El Gary homer would be sweet!

[jkcarew]

Since May 24, the Royals have more wins than the Twins (as do teams such as the Reds and the Diamondbacks.)

2022 Twins are 655 win pct against the Royals and Tigers…

462 against the rest of the league.

 

But, if we can just find a way to come back and win this one…

[RpR]

Gary hits one half of a home run

Let’s try this, are we going to hit a home run?

Got it, I was wondering why he got pulled so quick.
