Game Thread: Twins @ Cleveland, 9/19/22 @ 12:10 PM CT

Not to worry Pagan is warming up

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Walp.

 

4 run lead again.

At least the bases are empty...

[tony&rodney]

You cannot call for a fastball in or up on the first pitch to Rosario. This is common knowledge. Did the Twins think Rosario would take a pitch?

[mrtwinsfan]

Only fitting if Pagan now shows us his Mastery over Cleveland, like he did in June,    The coffin is officially laid to rest ?

[wavedog]

This inning is a good example of how to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory.     Top of the inning - bases loaded 1 out and no runs.  Bottom of the inning 2 runners on 1 out - 3 run HR.  

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Is anyone planning to watch the Vikings play tonight? I mean to catch the second half after a rehearsal.

[mrtwinsfan]

Think Rocco was scared of Hamilton hitting into a D.P. When he pinch hit Conteras,  Comical !!  why not let the kid hit or Bunt, Arreaz was on deck, its crazy the things we see

[wavedog]

Unbelieveable bad luck

[Mortimerkenny21]

When do we get our 3 run HR??

[mrtwinsfan]

Miranda,,   Bad Luck again

Jimminy Christmas!

Some time ago there was a question about why a batter does not get an RBI on a double play. I never had considered questioning that scoring rule but now agree that a DP should earn a RBI. Getting runs to score is the point of the game and when a batter's plate appearance results in a run scored it should be acknowledged, unless an error occurs.

[mrtwinsfan]

Dozed off earlier, Dreamed we win this one, Sweep K.C.  white sox  sweep cleveland  and were 2 out ,    And  Reality hit,,  Goin back to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz   for the year

Spot on , !!!!!!!!!!

1 for 6 with RISP! Story of the year. What is with this team..I guess we're really that bad!

[CRF]

There HAS to be a witch doctor somewhere, who is sticking little pins into a voodoo doll dressed in a Twins uni. That must be the explanation. Either that, or we just flat out SUCK!

2023

[wavedog]

That's our closer!  Sure turned into a pumpkin after the trade...

[Danchat]

4.24 ERA for Lopez since acquiring him...

[PopRiveter]

The purpose of the season is to determine which teams belong in the playoffs.

That has been accomplished. There can be no question. Our 2022 Twins just don't belong.

[notoriousgod71]

Lopez not a happy person.

[Kummel]

Twins really outmatched today.

At least we get to watch him throw a temper tantrum and unravel every time a borderline call doesn't go his way...

[KirbyDome89]

If Lopez was actually trying to hit Naylor we've found a new low....

It’s the second reason

[gunnarthor]

Gads, what an ugly game. 

[Winston Smith]

With Lopez and Pagan back next year at least the Falvey brain trust doesn't have to worry about the bullpen.

[Danchat]

Gotta love how the two big acquisitions with future years of control are already hurt/completely imploded. The front office made the moves they needed to make (unlike past years), they just have no competency.
