How are we ever going to score two runs 

What are your thoughts on three now?

[IndyTwinsFan]

2 runs may well be enough for NY to win this one.

Not particularly good.

In any other stadium that's a flyout.

For both teams.

[cHawk]

Maybe the Twins should try to do what Trevino just did there.

Don’t hurt yourself out there on that limb 

[Vanimal46]

Maybe in the next few days we’ll get some semblance of offense back on the team?

[ziggy]

Twins pitcher allowed to throw over 100 pitches. That should be a victory for the team.

I'll give it my best shot!

Just not terribly optimistic about our chances given our almost utter lack of hitting since the 9 run outburst in game 1.

[USAFChief]

Can't do anything but tip your cap to Lopez. Wasn't the sharpest, but battled through 6 innings with 2 runs, could have been 1.

 

Nice job. 

[Aggies7]

At least hicks stinks. I couldn’t take another game of him killing us

[cHawk]

Someone tell Buxton he actually needs to swing the bat to hit the ball.

My hawt taek is that the offensive outburst on Thursday may have been a fluke.  Thoughts?

[Vanimal46]

9 straight Ks for Buxton. 

[Aggies7]

We’ve got bad buxton. Maybe he needs a day off lol

[USAFChief]

JHFC Buxton. Pathetic

He swung at ball 2 and ball 3.

I think the twins hacked the Yankees pitch com device. There’s no other explanation. 

[CRF]

Murderer's Row...we ain't. 

[Aggies7]

Oh good we had a whimper of an inning so cole could come back out for the 8th.

Nice job. 

Indeed, he did his job for sure. He didn't even quietly quit like the rest of today's job market. It's on the rest of the team now.

The rookie was likely tipping his pitches.

Sometimes the ball travels 95 feet down the first base line, other times only 94 and the right fielder catches it.

[Sutter50]

Ok this game thread has me convinced. I finally have to give in.

I now believe the Twins will not score any runs today

I now believe the Twins  will have a season record of 10-152.

I now believe Buxton will strikeout 600 times this year.

I now believe Julien will never be successful 

I now believe Kepler needs to be released 

I now believe that all the coaches and Rocco should be fired for incompetence. 

I miss anything?

 

[RpR]

Well at least Larnach and Miranda actually hit the ball.

[Aggies7]

After Friday I said to myself “all we need to do is win 2 of the next 5 matchups to win the season series!”

god I’m dumb

Well, they did score 11 runs in game 1 of this series.

[tony&rodney]

Have always been a fan of Max Kepler, but right now he is lost. At the plate Max is flailing and now he reaches back and runs his glove into the wall instead of reaching up to catch the ball, costing Pablo Lopez and the Twins a run. I sure hope he can turn it around because Wallner didn't look too good in his recent trial and Gallo is looking even worse.
