Byrons improving, 1st inning LOOKED at strike 3   2nd a.b   swung half way,  3rd  time  what ya think  ??

[USAFChief]

Ryan Jeffers hitting 5th...kind of says it all about the Twins offense.

[CoastiePilot08]

Can’t stop saying. This offense is garbage. More K’s. 

[rwilfong86]

The ineptitude is reaching an all time low.

It's getting difficult to watch.

Honestly it really is tough. I like watching baseball and the Twins. 
 

this version. Not so much. 

[OvertheHill]

Corbin 0.65 K/9 coming into this game. 
Corbin 1.67 K/9 today.

I was excited after the first week or so. But that looks like a mirage at this point.

Like I posted yesterday. All you gotta do is look at who’s batting clean up and be sorely reminded how badly we need another bat.

Bad math sorry K per innings. You get the point.

I guess we'll see when the relievers come in. 

[USAFChief]

Serious question: why is Ober starting today? A five man rotation can't be expected to pitch every 5th day? Less than a month into the season, BTW. 

Honestly, what gives?

Yeah. Their approach most ABs is appalling. What is Popkins doing?

Yeah. The mlb app says they’re spacing everyone out because of 13 games in a row. 

[CRF]

Ober's settled down and is holding his own...and we can't do a damn thing at bat.

How many times do you need to be reminded...NEVER DO MATH IN PUBLIC!!1!

[Vanimal46]

What are the odds the Twins keep facing Cy Young finalists every game? /s just in case. 

[Twins_Fan_For_Life]

Just tuned in. I see the mighty twins offense has exploded for zero runs in the first three innings

[h2oface]

1 run on one hit in 4 innings. I like that. Even with the 3 walks. 1 run in 4 innnings with 4 Ks. I will take that from Ober, glady.

[rwilfong86]

Polanco!

[CRF]

POLE - ANCO!

Dick said earlier that this game was picked weeks ago.  Planned weeks ago.

[OvertheHill]

Going to begrudgingly have to admit that this is an unserious team with an unserious manager, chasing the Bomba Squad secret sauce from 2019. They’re built for the juiced ball game, and they’re getting schooled at the moment by a AAA talent team that hasn’t eschewed basic baseball fundamentals.

IMO, it looks like a failure to put a plan together and stick with it.  

[CoastiePilot08]

Those two ABs are the Twins offense all summed up. 
 

HR. Awful K. Lol.
