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.  

Agree fully!

That’s just constipation. Maybe see a doctor.

Another 1 pitch Buxton at bat. This is absolutely horrible

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.

I share a lot of that sentiment, too.

[Aggies7]

Have we tried adding a third hitting coach?

Dangit! Yes, the feeling has passed. The burning fire has subsided, but the embers still smolder.

[OvertheHill]

C’mon Joey!

And a Gallo 1 pitch at bat to end it.

The one negative about this site is the policing of other’s opinions. The word fan is short for fanatic or fanatical. I think there’s a block feature if you don’t like reading negative takes

[LewFordLives]

On the bright side, they only struck out five times today. That's something...right?

[Aggies7]

Detroit angling to be 2 games out after today lol

[Tlaker]

Gladden just said all it takes is one swing…..maybe not on the first pitch 

good gawd

Try penicillin.  Clear that right up.

     As long as we stay relevant in this crappy division,  No changes will be made, 

[OvertheHill]

I can’t wait for Rocco’s insightful post game comments.

No plate discipline at all from this team.

i never watch rocco,s post game ,  i need more negativity, game didnt provide enough ,  will today

Everyone seemingly trying to be a hero at the plate and, not surprisingly, being unsuccessful at it. Opposing teams likely know that and tell their pitchers to not give us anything good to hit because there's a high likelihood we'll get ourselves out.  Once we calm down and stop trying to be the offensive hero, things will likely change for the better.

Nope not at all….

[RickOShea]

Day off tomorrow. what's on the agenda?  Workout with  extra batting practice, a day at the spa, or a movie / pizza?

Yes, Pagan had the one horrific outing, But I find that I no longer cringe when he is brought in. Progress.

For him or for you? <Wink>.

Whenever we change that, our fortunes will likely change for the better.

I just hope that comes sooner rather than later.

I dont understand why any team would have any plan other then dont throw these guys strikes.
