I thought Game Threads were math free events.

Math is only allowed when the Twins get a clutch hit.

Not when it comes to the never ending whining about Arraez... 

Actually I think that still counts. Those are just facts. No figuring involved. Just stats.

Cleveland scoreless in the 8th. Would be a half game back with a win

We went through years of Mauer's $84 million dollar contract, handcuffing the Twins.  I thought we were done with these hindsight reviews.  On the other hand. Bosox fans still upset with the trading/selling of some guy named, Ruth.

[Parfigliano]

Game summary.....Bright spot 5 shutout relief innings.  As usual the "offense" a bottomless pit of soul crushing  ineptitude.

Set your alarm

[twinssporto]

I'm not being negative, just being honest, I've watched this team for 35+ years closely. I've never seen such an unispiring lineup of hitters in a long, long time.....

 

 

[stringer bell]

So, the Braves have scored all their runs today via home runs, they’ve struck out eight times (Twins—5) and also committed four errors. They’ve issued five walks (Twins—2) and still they won handily.

I've been watching for close to 60 yrs and I agree with you.  I've seen terrible teams and some pretty good teams.  But this team just doesn't seem to have the intensity or the baseball intelligence.  Their Baseball IQ is horrendous.  Couple that with a manager that is all over the board and you've got a recipe for mediocrity, at best.

Well said. The sad thing is it's totally true.

This current Twins team trying to hit, is like stacking BB's.

men against boys. Twins have been totally overmatched against the Braves. We threw our best against them and it didn't work. And our hitters just didn't show up. And of course there's Pagan! Sheesh
