[GCTF]

Not losing after one. Progress.

[Alex]

Quiet night.

 

These runs are on the ump, though Deduno could have made some better fielding plays prior to that.

[DedunoTheMuffinMan?]

Ugh we needed that call at second!

[GCTF]

Next...

[Danchat]

Deduno is toast... it's 3-0 already. This is gonna get ugly.

[Guest USAFChief]

Huh...where are all the people who were so excited to see Deduno in the rotation?

[Alex]

Huh...where are all the people who were so excited to see Deduno in the rotation?

 

At the lake, avoiding this travesty.

[GCTF]

Going about as well as expected. Another night where the pen will throw as many or more innings than the starter.

[Danchat]

Huh...where are all the people who were so excited to see Deduno in the rotation?

 

It's actually entertaining to see a pitcher TRY to strike someone out. Too bad he's just as awful as everyone else.

[GCTF]

Huh...where are all the people who were so excited to see Deduno in the rotation?

 

They exist?

[GCTF]

Huh...where are all the people who were so excited to see Deduno in the rotation?

 

They've shifted to getting excited about the next PJ Walters start?

[Riverbrian]

I'm here... I was genuinely looking forward to tonight. I missed the fateful 2nd inning. Tuned in just in time to see Parmelee try to pull one back.

 

I guess it hasn't been the start I was hoping for.

[GCTF]

No hitter through 4.

[VATwinsFan]

That was an inspiring top of the 4th inning.

[VATwinsFan]

A 1-2-3 inning.

 

There's a concept.

[glunn]

It is easy to criticize the pitching, but the hitting also seems dismal.

 

Will this losing streak ever end? When do we get to play the Astros?

[Riverbrian]

I like to be optimistic... But the Astros would be a problem for us right now.

 

I'm actually serious when I say that the Memphis Cardinals AAA team would be a problem for us right now.

 

This is a team wide funk.

[GCTF]

When do we get to play the Astros?

 

The Astros are probably wondering when do they get to play the Twins.

[Bark's Lounge]

Will this losing streak ever end? When do we get to play the Astros?

 

At this point in time, I would be afraid for the Twins to play the Astros.

 

I would also be afraid of the Twins playing any little league team or a team made up of middle school cheerleaders, some squirrels and a bucket or 2 of ice cream.

[Alex]

My call...Carroll ends the no hit bid.

[Alex]

My call...Carroll ends the no hit bid.

 

....next time he's up

Meaningful games

Meaningful games

 

End before June????

[Riverbrian]

What happened to Deduno's fastball? Coming in at 88... Touching 90 on occasion... And he is throwing a lot of off speed stuff as well.

[mikeee]

They tried to tame the wild man...

[Highabove]

Twins v Astros August 2,3,4

 

Get your tickets while prices are still low.

 

Would this be considered a meaningful game??
