No. 
 

this has been anothe edition of … 

[OvertheHill]

NVM re: Miranda. Then they almost didn’t get the out on the sac bunt. Fundamentals not the strong suit on this team. 

[Parfigliano]

Looked like Twin baserunning  there

[OvertheHill]

Keystone Kops out there now 

[Aggies7]

Vazquez is brutal man

Would be really encouraging to see a clean inning from Jax

Would have been.

Lately, it seems to me that he's been something less than impressive.  Seems to give up at least one run every outing. 

[Aggies7]

WHAT ARE WE DOING OUT THERE 

[RickOShea]

If Vasquez was an experienced catcher, he doesn't make that throw.

[Parfigliano]

Little League at MLB prices

[Aggies7]

1 error 2 walks 2 steals 2 runs and NO HITS

[OvertheHill]

How pathetic is the AL Central that THIS is the team at the top of the standings.

Last year, he was a revelation.  Not so this year.

It’s a carnival ride sometimes

I guess I'm just getting old and cranky but it sure seems like the team has had a very low baseball IQ in the  Falvey/Baldelli era.

[SwainZag]

JFC.  This inning:

Reach on error, Walk, Stolen Base, Sac Bunt - Run Scores, FC out at 2nd, Stolen Base, Error, Walk, Error - Run Scores, Out.

3 errors, 2 Walks, 2 Stolen Bases, 2 Runs.  0 Hits.

“Kind of sloppy all around”

They don’t call you the best color commentator in the league for nothin’, Justin!!

He IS an experienced catcher though....and he still made that throw.

It’s been this way for years. TK would be spinning in his grave if he were dead. Endemic throughout the entire organization is seems

Then he blamed the off day 😂

Yes, I know.

[Linus]

More of the same. The most consistent quality of this team is shoddy fundamentals. Part of this is on the front office. They have assembled a roster of plodding strikeout players who are fundamentally weak. This is who they are. 

[IndyTwinsFan]

What an abomination this team has become!

IMO, this game is now all but over, as I don't see us scoring even one more run, let alone two.

[CoastiePilot08]

These guys do nothing right. 
 

Every other team takes advantage of free runners. The twins find every way possible to K or make weak contact. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Was hoping Alcala  and Stewart were being moved ahead of Jax,   Jax is not the best 7th inning guy !!!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

This is probably asking a lot, and I would have to see the replay, but maybe Jax makes a harder play on that first ‘tweener in the infield that got the leadoff guy on? I don’t know I would have to see it again.
