Got any thoughts on tonights Powerball?

Yep…. I won’t win 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Damned if you do. Damned if you dont. 
 

(letting Gray start the 7th)

[tony&rodney]

I literally just said out loud, " Don't give in Sonny, Eddie will hit in a DP".

[CRF]

Probably the ballgame with that Zuna shot.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Not a good pitch there from Sonny.

UGH.

Agreed.

[tony&rodney]

Gray has pitched great. Our bats are woeful.

[Parfigliano]

Nice glove AK

Except Acuna probably would have stolen second. But yeah, first base was open. 

EDIT: You say Ozuna, I say Acuna... That'll teach me not to try reconciling my checkbook while listening to a game.

If they lose 2-1, someone will still believe that pitching wins are a useful stat.....That was a great start against an incredibly hot team on the road. (assuming he finishes 7 w/o imploding)

Tonight there are, yes 

News flash: Strider is not horrible 

[Parfigliano]

That got to be E-3

Almost everything is a hit now.

Agree...he's pitched a pretty damn good game. We just are lifeless at the plate. 

[IndyTwinsFan]

Sonny pitched well tonight.  It's a shame that he'll probably get a loss for his efforts. 

[tony&rodney]

Kirilloff has had some tough plays to make tonight. He has made a couple and missed several, but every one has been difficult and I'm confident that nobody else that has played in a Twins uniform in several years makes the plays.

[Mike Sixel]

Pagan? I mean, seriously, all my plans for next week are imploding, and now we bring in Pagan?

[CRF]

Pagan doing Pagan things.

[Mike Sixel]

I typed that before the HR.

I blame the FO for this 100% Fire them already.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

[Parfigliano]

Middle middle hanger by Pagan with predictable result

[IndyTwinsFan]

Now it's all but over.

D#%*.

Unfortunately. 

[tony&rodney]

I guess the Twins look at 1-2 as a sure loss, thus Pagan instead of Stewart. Pagan has been decent recently .... it is just his luck.

And a lot of us probably saw something like this coming. 

AARGH.

They wont even fire the "hitting coach's".

Used to watch lots of Atlanta games on the Superstation. Didn't see this live, but it remains one of the greatest calls in the history of broadcasting: 

 

I enjoyed Pete as well.

Oh come on, there’s no way you could have predicted that! 🤣

[Dave Borton]

Just flipped off and turned to the Tigers/Rangers game. Can't deal w/GopherballPagan.

The last time Stewart has come in with the team down was May 19. Since then, always tied or ahead.
