Game Thread: Twins (Gray) v Tigers (Boyd), 6/15/23 @ 6:10 CT

[RickOShea]

I've contended on many occasions how the Twins play to the level of the competition.  That's definitely not the case tonight.

Much ado about Kepler

Friends, Nationals and Royals... Lend me your relief pitchers

I really don't understand Lopez. Looking at him pitch, he should be tough.

He looked way too happy getting pounded out there.

I guess Shakespeare really didn't write anything himself.  However, plagiarizing something written 250 years after he died is pretty damn impressive!

Shakespeare is DEAD??!?

It is torture watching this godawful bullpen.  It is so bad.

Pain during and after tonight,  rough day

Maybe soft hearted?

Lopez’ body language just never instills any confidence. At this point he looks like he’s expecting bad stuff to happen.

Put him in  the marinade whirlpool, that'll tenderize him a bit.

This tigers team looks hungry and the twins look bored.

Almost like we expected to win and then when the Tigers punched us in the mouth, it didn't appear we had any idea how to respond. 

Pretty sad, in my opinion.

Shrimp Taco's, Cucumbers and Watermelon for supper tonight. 

It was good but I just realized something. 

The best part of the cucumber tastes like the worst part of a Watermelon. 

I just bought a cucumber at the farmer's market this afternoon ... not sure what I'm getting now

Gee, I'd have never guessed that.

[RickOShea]

Don't worry about the receiver. The Twins hitters wouldn't know what to do, even when they know what is coming. LOL

Sorry, I'm just frustrated.

[cHawk]

The Twins will not take advantage of that error.

[Parfigliano]

Contact always better then K Twins

Except in cases where said contact results in a double play...then better to take the strikeout.

Not at the same time, though

Darn, this pitcher throws so many pitches in the dirt.  He's going through a gross of baseballs.

I'll take contact every time and live with a half dozen extra DPs over the course of 6 months.

I wouldn't be so sure, you never see them together.
