Game Thread: Guardians @ Twins, 9/9/22, 7:10pm CDT

When they lose this one 7-6, it’s entirely on Rocco for trying to get more out of Bundy tonight. 12 hits…

[tony&rodney]

A little spark .... maybe. Hope.

Now Willie Mays Hays Gordon can strike fear into Clevelands hearts.

I guess not.

Also on Bundy for not executing

Dang, I got busy doing other things and didn't even notice the Twins scored 6. Ironic how Correa is erupting today when we really could have used this the past week from him.

Also on the reliever, whoever he is, that would've been in the game by now, and allowing the runs that knock us out, had Bundy been relieved a couple innings earlier.

The no-win scenario.

Unless we do win.

A single on a popup to third?  I'm just following online, not watching - someone please explain?  He lost it in the sun?

Behind third, and third baseman retrieved it?

And they say modern hitters don't know how to beat the shift.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

White Sox score 5 in top of ninth to win 5-3 in Oakland. 

[ashbury]

Whew!

Now to get two more in the bottom of the inning!

Now time for Gio, Gary and Jake to be either heros or goats.

[tony&rodney]

Moran looked good.

[ashbury]

Clase move by the Cleveland manager.

The save was blown the other night.  Let's hope for a repeat.

I read that as either ‘class’ move, or ‘blasé’ move

I think his name is pronounced Clah-say, so the first is more the pun I was going for, thanks for asking.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

ah well. 

“Twins rally from third place to win Central” would be a nice headline for the fans 
 

[mrtwinsfan]

3rd place all alone?

[IndyTwinsFan]

Well. that was a very poor half inning. 

All in all, I'm not terribly surprised we lost (again).  We've been doing a lot of that lately.

Nice dream for us to end this night with.

Sigh.... That's all I have

Bundy, Archer both need to be gone after this season.  

Twins need to pass on their options.

[h2oface]

Baldelli escapes the presser on Apple tv night. He just can't make the right move these days. Gives up so easy, and leaving Bundy in after the second homer was not the right move. 

Gary Sanchez gets way to much love on apple tv, I mean, a total of 6 homers the whole season. He is so overrated.

IMO, Baldelli left Bundy in there too long.   He should have taken out in 2nd inning.    Pitching staff killed Twins this season.   

[tony&rodney]

The Twins looked different at the end of the game, but still lost.

If Polanco, Buxton, and Kepler cannot play starting next weekend the Twins are done. The outfield is struggling. Celestino and Gordon look tired and Cave is sadly overmatched. Garlick is still swinging but should never set foot into the field. Time to lay it all out.
