Game Thread: Twins (Ryan) v Tigers (Vest), 6/16/23 @ 7:10 CT

[RickOShea]

After striking out, why would a hitter give the pitcher any satisfaction, by shaking his head, cursing, throwing his bat, etc.?

[RickOShea]

The check swing is just another can of worms.  Don't go there  Dick. Talk about your pencil collection.

2nd straight game we were punched in the mouth early in the game and failed to respond in a positive manner, at home and against a supposedly inferior team.

Doesn't say much of anything good or positive about this team.

To paraphrase Dan Devine (the movie Rudy)" No one comes into our house and pushes us around"

Offense died with the base running blunder early in the game.  Again.

Buck,  No golden sombero tonight,  he is striking out Sano like,   with alot of team help

[Steven Trefz]

How come we can't score when the stands are full of Twins fans at Target Field?

We score when they are full of Brewers fans....

 

[RickOShea]

Well it looks like we're keeping the odds of a sweep, alive.

[Blyleven2011]

I'm going to go the distance  and watch the known outcome  ...

That's just what a diehard fan does ...

[RickOShea]

Does these reliever keep his pot of gold in the bullpen, with himself?

[Blyleven2011]

Winder get sent back to AAA  and new pitcher coming in tomorrow for bullpen game  ...

That's just a good guess ...

Tonight our #2 and #3 hitters were combined 0 for 8 with 5 K’s. That’s a big part of it I think.

Apparently unless you're a team from Minnesota, where it's a fairly common occurrence. 

[Parfigliano]

Maybe tomorrow.  Out.

[Blyleven2011]

Has the twins beat a team this year that has started an opener  ...

I think we are 0 for 3 , but I could be mistaken  and there could be more openers  , I'm out of town  alot and miss some games and series  ...

A very disappointing loss ...

[OvertheHill]

So disheartening for fans to watch a supposedly inferior team come in here and boss the Twins around in every aspect of the game. I sure hope we salvage a split with these guys.

I'm running out of adjectives to adequately describe these God-awful performances we've seen far too often this season. 

Any suggestions?

I think that it’s an indication of a truly mediocre team that could so recently have a “signature “ win like the Correa walk off game, then follow it up with almost complete no shows. At home no less.

Pretty sure you're right.  Something like a grand total of 3 runs scored.

Fully concur.

Not really. 

If you followed them since 1961. You've seen awful. I'll take this over 50% of the years of our existence. 

Degrees of awfulness is debatable, I will agree, but its still awful this year.
