Twins deserved to lose this game. Ryan didn't but everyone else deserves to lose it.

[Parfigliano]

Not happy at all.  Some really bad ABs.

Yup.  The joys of a team sport.

I'm about ready to dump Miranda.

That's a pretty bad loss.

 

Yeah but at least we didn’t use duran 😉

I can't stand Baldelli anymore. Just horrible managing decisions. What a waste of A Ryan start. Batters can't hit a pitcher with a 7+ era coming in. But pulling Ryan after 6 and not bunting Gallo over. Just poor managing. 

[LewFordLives]

Threw him a meatball right down the middle.

[mrtwinsfan]

1st time the bats let Ryan down,   he pitched great

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh well.

 

Sorry to just come in at the end there...

Tired of the inconsistency in this team.  Seems when the pitching is working, the run support is abysmal.  And when the hits are abundant, the pitching can't keep the lead in tact.   PLEASE START SUPPORTING EACH OTHER LIKE A TEAM SHOULD!!!!

This x 10000 he is not a MLB manager! In over his head

Awful baseball by this team tonight.  Awful.

Pulling Ryan early when he’s cruising….bailed out,  Pinch hitting a guy hitting .100….bailed out.  Miranda not looking a guy back to third…bailed out.  Pitching a waiver wire castoff n the 9th of tie game….bailed out.  Swing at 10 pitches a foot outside the strike zone.  Then throw a lefty against 2 righties…bailed out.  Only to give up a hit in the matchup you wanted.  Lol.  Unreal.

It’s baseball.  You’re going to lose games.  But, that’s just awful baseball.  Deserved to lose 100%.  Baseball gods made sure of it.

[Parfigliano]

At least CLE lost

It's called baseball.  If you want consistency get a dog and he can wag his tail everytime you get home

[jkcarew]

Twins record now 11-12

I don't know what Dick was talking about for Lopez. He must have missed that last game Lopez pitched in against KC. Came in with a 2-1 lead, 2 out and a runner on 3rd. 2 OUTS! Proceeded to blow the save, gave up the inherited runner with a single by Perez on his third pitch, and then a stolen base, a walk, and a hard contact liner Larnach ran down. Jax got the earned run while Lopez's ERA stayed a 0 and gave Dick a misleading stat to rave about. Thanks Lopez. I remembered. Dick must have a short term memory thing happening. That's two blown saves in a row on consecutive outings. Yet praise the man.

3 sort of rough outings in a row. Can’t have him revert back to shakiness. That would be detrimental

Wouldn't be prudent, either.

Yes! 3 in a row. The night before in KC he came in the 9th clean, ahead 8-6, and got two outs then gave up 2 singles and hit a batter, was looking like Pagan and Colome! Barely squeaked it out.
