Game Thread: Twins @ Guardians, 5/7 @ 12:40 CT

[Brock Beauchamp]

This offense is so hot right now

[USAFChief]

Just jog down the line on that strike 3 in the dirt, Gordon. You're a big leaguer. Hustling is so 1960s.

[rwilfong86]

They could use a big hit from Kepler here

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. 

 

This point is exactly why I passed on watching both last night and today, even with the time and the means.

It just isn't worth the aggravation. 

[rwilfong86]

Way low and outside. Horrible. 

[Nine of twelve]

Does Taylor stay in the game taking over for Gordon in CF?

Especially when you're this close being DFAd.

The home plate ump is absolutely horrible

Only in this division.

That should have been ball 4.

It’s also okay to just not get aggravated by a sporting team that plays 162 times over six months. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Max  , not ur fault

at least not every game. But some people seem to be hate-watching this team and prefer it when they fail, I think.

[USAFChief]

I'm aggravated.

Yes. Twins fans prefer them to fail. Makes sense.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

All they need to do is hold Cleveland in the bottom of the eighth and then score a couple runs off of Class A.

Clase looks like Mariano Rivera when the Twins are batting

That does seem to be the case at times. I doubt it’s true, I think people are just too invested in specific results, but it can feel like hate-watching.

I'd prefer at least 3...

I'm just funny that way sometimes.  No logical explanation for it.

[USAFChief]

Routine 4-3 PO.

He looks like that when everyone is batting, to be fair.

[LewFordLives]

Polanco stayed with it.

I'm definitely not one of those types.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Hah, fun play by Polanco. 

[Kummel]

HItting droughts are painful.  But it's May 7th.  And the rotation is keeping us in these games, the best Twins pitching in a long stretch.  

[Mortimerkenny21]

Twins are going to win. I feel it deep down, burning in my soul!

[RickOShea]

yeah, I want them to fail.  that's why I pay for watching games, re-align my daily schedule, and spend 2.5 hours away from other productive endeavors.  Win or lose, they put no money in my pocket, as I don't bet  on them.  But, I do love baseball and my homestate.  So the frustration threshold is probably out of whack, but it is, what it is.

[mrtwinsfan]

Get it to Miranda,   lets go

Assuming the rotation stays healthy, they might turn it aroud.
