Y'know, it's weird. My son has a math degree from the U of Arizona, but he's got this strong fear of negative numbers. 

He'll literally stop at nothing to avoid them.

Are you positive?

[USAFChief]

Here comes our big inning. Gonna break up the no-no.

[Twins_Fan_For_Life]

The team needs some production from RH bat's- Correa has to start hitting at some point because he's not this bad.  Farmer at third base with Miranda going to St. Paul?  Garlick is an option

Have tried to be a fan of Gordon but swinging at a 2-0 pitch a foot out of the zone and then a DP on a pitch right down the middle with no movement. Tough.

Awful at bat. I’m over him. 

[CoastiePilot08]

Miranda needs a AAA reset in the worst way. 

[Parfigliano]

Example needs to be made and cant fire team so start with batting coaches FIRED!

[CoastiePilot08]

It’s been said. Quantrill is not good. 

[USAFChief]

Made Quantrill throw 6 pitches that inning.

[CoastiePilot08]

More garbage ABs from Miranda and Gordon. Swinging at pitches outside the zone. 

[h2oface]

What a worthless and annoying bit with the hot dog. Took the whole uninteresting failure of an inning.

[Aggies7]

BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Hawkins, lol.

"He'll no. I ain't eating that."

[mrtwinsfan]

The Twins make every opposing starter look like a prime Sandy Koufax

Agree with ya, but do we even know if they listen and want any help, , 1st thing i do is get rid of the  I-pad ,  

[USAFChief]

Hey everybody...did you know Cal Quantrill has a NO HITTER in progress?

 

Keep it quiet, wouldn't want to jinx it.

[mrtwinsfan]

Hey its the 6+th inning,   okay to get a hit now,  here we go.  Hold on

[Craig Arko]

Okay, I’d settle for some HRs now.

Sadly, I don’t believe Rocco is capable of managing without it…..it is his crutch 

[Craig Arko]

Shot of Miranda and Gordon talking; “Nick, what are the best places to eat in St. Paul?”

[CoastiePilot08]

These guys have the worst approaches at the plate. What does the hitting coach actually do?

[USAFChief]

Absolutely needed Vasquez,  and he was a good signing, but this is why he was available.

So would his dad, today, against this lineup

[CoastiePilot08]

another out swinging at a ball out of the zone 

[bighat]

About to get no-hit by a guy who routinely gets lit up. Nothing special at all about this pitcher. 

Another bases loaded, nobody out situation and zero runs come across. 

This is one of the worst offensive teams I've seen recent memory. It's an embarrassment and at this point the reasons to bother watching this team are few and far between.

[RickOShea]

Nothing is going to happen until it's too late.  Like most teams and people in general, the Twins are reactive, not pro-active.  As long as we're in first place or close, rocco knows his job is safe.

[CoastiePilot08]

C4 constantly gets praised for his leadership. 
 

leading everyone below the Mendoza line.
