What's with Joe?  He seems to be letting in a lot of runs lately.  C'mon Joe.  We need you!

Yup.

It didn't even buy him the ability to play the field in the very next half inning!🤣

They took Gallo out.  Is he injured or hopefully being traded?

Probably heat exhaustion as they were pouring water over his head in the dugout.

If the other guys are polished, then I don't want more of that.

I mean, that is the way I feel. Wallner is raw but does have talent.

Nope. Gallo pulled for Solano.

Best be traded but it would be very Rocco to pull him after he just hit a double.

[nicksaviking]

Topa was a righty, why didn't reigning AL player of the week Kirilloff pinch hit instead?

[wsnydes]

Winder!  As expected!

Ok bats, it's for all the marbles now.

[USAFChief]

Vazquez is hitting??

[wsnydes]

Gallo left due to illness.  Have to imagine it was heat related.

Yes, but not baserunning.

[HokieRif]

swing the bat 'los

[Vanimal46]

Ugly day at the plate for Correa. At least Munoz bobbled it so it wasn’t a double play. 

[wsnydes]

Moved Taylor up at least.  Just need a base knock here Julien...

[HokieRif]

taylor should have broke for 3B... there was no one covering

 

[Parfigliano]

Hero time Max

[killebrewlover]

Now there's the Twins we all know and love!!!    Correa 0 for 5 (I include the weak dribbler he hit to Munoz in the ninth).   What's he making this year?  $35M?   Think of the relief pitching we could've gotten for that!

Sometimes I wonder why I even waste my time....

[ashbury]

This loss is on the Twins pitching staff.

[Vanimal46]

Name a more iconic duo than Max Kepler and grounding out to 2B. 

[wsnydes]

sigh...

[Parfigliano]

Twins lose.  

[Vanimal46]

Whelp, another tough loss. AL Central lead down to 2 games. 

[Aggies7]

Last night wouldn’t have been so bad if today were a win.

Only Batman and Robin top that on my list.

Can’t let them pull you back in like Michael Corleone

Bold statement, but I tend to agree.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Games like that happen and that's fine when you lose them.

But it shines an even harsher light on handing away wins like they did last night.

[USAFChief]

Another disheartening loss.

Mauer fly out down left field line comes to mind
