Can’t make it up!!

[Winston Smith]

Well that was fun.

The Twins must make some changes. The 4 strikeouts in the 3 and 4 batters were tough.

I would have rather we lost in the top of the 9th 😂

[Tlaker]

I prefer the inevitable to be quick……

Dodgers/Reds, 6-6, on MLB-TV, free game.

I love when pitchers point to the sky on fly balls, like, “can of corn, right fielder” 

oh well good to see Royce back and healthy

Next time you're at a game notice how much deeper the Twins play their OF than almost every other team.

That Polanco flair probably falls in against the Twins. 

Agree. I made that comment a couple of times in May. It is a little surprising. Perhaps the Twins outfielders are not good at going back on the ball.

[Winston Smith]

Two game total seven hits and one run.

That's an offensive explosion for this team.  Sad to say.

Somewhere in all of that you would hope that coaches and managers would be working with guys on that, but I see no evidence. We’re 60-ish games into the season and we’re talking about Spring Training things IMO.

268 runs since last November. About a run a day.

Be less condescending?

Twins never struck me as condescending...

And i don't think condescension hurts run production? But probably doesn't help either.

SS01 is one of the less-satirical posters here on TD.  I really think his response can be taken literally, as a good start for Lewis to follow but maybe there's more?

Kudos for López for keeping it competitive.
