There’s not one player on the twins who gets as much vitriol as Hicks does from Yankees fans 

Can you blame them!?

They gave up John Ryan Murphy.

Kepler just beating the mini shift, that's how he rolls

Post of the night

Rays now with a new 6 game winning streak. 20-3. Reminds me of the Tigers start in 1984. They just kept winning. 35-5 start.

[Aggies7]

CORREA BABY 😉 

[OvertheHill]

That “triple” is an error at every level of baseball that I’ve witnessed.

Haha I’m not arguing with you buddy. I disagree. There’s a difference with some guys getting on him on a message board and showering a player with boos every time he shows his face

Yankee fans are cheering Volpe like he's the next Jeter. He keeps hitting a buck 60 in August and they'll turn on him too

[wabene]

That bum Correa tripled

That Tigers team didn't quit winning until 1985.

No argument there. I guess they thought they were getting a stud when hicks got traded there. The guy we got is washing cars somewhere, they did better

If you can't earn it, take the gift. At least he hit it. Official scorers will help you out.

Assuming they win tonight, let's see how the offense does over the series with the Yanks.  Seems to be feast or famine lately.  Very inconsistent.  A positive?  At least they're competing with the Yankees this year!

[umterp23]

Nice to see Correa busting it out of the box on that triple... jogging as he knew it should have been caught... generous home scorer

Agreed. A lot more good comes from balls in play compared to whiffs.

When was it when Seattle won like 118 games? 2001?

[ziggy]

juuuuuust a bit outside.

 

[OvertheHill]

I’ve seen enough of Moran. 

[Aggies7]

Reallllly didn’t need a lead off walk up by 6.

[Nine of twelve]

Good low-stress situation for Moran to show us he is capable of good pitching. Not off to a good start though.

[jkcarew]

How do the new rules work…

can we bring Gordon in to pitch?

[ziggy]

ball 4

ball 8

ball 12

 

[Nine of twelve]

Get Lopez in after Moran's third batter.

[Aggies7]

Is someone getting loose? Please say yes

[ziggy]

Good God, don't give them hope.

 

[ashbury]

[wabene]

Just throw some strikes man

[ashbury]

How to seal a trip to the minors, in two batters.

Yes

[h2oface]

Just had to go to Moran. Against the Yankees. Who is not learning?

Personally, I’d have already sent him there
