Why do the Twins have 7 players in the lineup hitting under .250 and 5 on the bench + Wallner in AAA hitting over .250.  What am I missing?

Give it time.  With rocco's moves in the past, you never know.

That is one of the saddest comments. So no incentive? Maybe I am old school but didn’t players have to earn a place in the lineup

Not saying because of this game ,  i am not a fan of Julien in the 2 spot either, . in time i think Lewis might find a home there,

It’s just reality and the economics of the game right?

you’re not sitting guys you have tied up with those contracts.

This is an entertaining AB.

[CoastiePilot08]

Nice job Joe!

[cHawk]

I don't love the fact that Ryan is at 19 pitches after the first inning.

I thought it was, "Say it aint so, Joe".

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Out of the zone. Again.
Well, the high strike has been consistent at least 

[mrtwinsfan]

Astros  are known for good at bats,  Twins are not And Ryan as good as his record is , Gives up alot of foul balls ,  ,  Add it all up !!

Ryan's at a 100 pitches by the 5th inning?

Its strategery.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I have always liked Bregman. I actually think Ryan had him guessing fastball on that pitch, and Bregman adjusted and gave it a hack…….. 

[mrtwinsfan]

0-2  pitch, Ryan ????

Winner!!!

I wonder how many 0-2 hits the twins pitchers have given up this year. It sure feels like it has been a lot.

Welcome to Twins Daily! 

Informal rule of thumb: one light hearted post for every heavy hearted post 🙂

[2wins87]

According to statcast Bregman's HR would have gone out in 1 of 30 parks.

Unfortunately they happen to be playing in that 1 park.

[Parfigliano]

Nuts!

[RickOShea]

That was a 70's pitch.........it was groovy!

[Vanimal46]

A 92 MPH upper middle fast ball is gonna get crushed by most MLB hitters. 

[jimbo92107]

Well, one thing about Ryan's fastball...if somebody barrels it up, it goes a loooong way.
