Game Thread: Twins (Ryan) v Mariners (Miller), 7/26/23 @ 12:10 CT

[CRF]

Things are not going well so far for Mr Ryan. 

[insagt1]

They may regret blowing last nights game because they look dead so far. Ryan serving up gopher meat and our hitters just don't look comfortable up there today.

Hopefully a day where Ryan doesnt give up multiple HR 

Have other teams got his number now? Just got home and didn't hear/see HRs.

[RpR]

Twins are back to swinging at garbage pitches.

[RpR]

Vaquez breaks the drought.

Julien joins the parade.

[wsnydes]

The ability of this team to rack up huge K numbers is something else...

0-2 center cut gopher ball to Rodriguez!

0-2 right down the middle….sigh

[wsnydes]

That's a better outcome.  

[wsnydes]

Feast or famine for both teams today.

Ah Joe....

[wsnydes]

Signs of life from the bats.  Plenty of game left.

[mrtwinsfan]

Ryan needs a 2 week Re-set,    not the same last 5+  starts

[wsnydes]

Don't give them right back, Joe...

[Doc Munson]

OK seriously now, why is Gallo still on this team?  He seem sliek a great guy and all, but he is a massive detriment to our offense.

Last 7 games = 16 AB an 11K's  Small sample size you say?

Ok last 15 games = 35 AB and 21K;s   OK still "streaky"??

last 30 games = 75 AB and 46K's

But really do you have to do any specific breakdown of a guy whose season line shows a .174 avg against just 17 HR? and had struck out 110 times in just 224 ABs??

Just DFA him, and thank him for his early season success.

[RpR]

I have the game on TV but am listening to WCCO raido; amazing how far behind the radio braadcast the TV is but this way you know whether it is worth looking at the screen or ignoring it.

[RpR]

Seattle is swinging at crap pitches and hitting them.

[Aggies7]

Ryan saved his swoon for just after June. Weak down the stretch last year too IIRC

[RpR]

Pagan time.

[Vanimal46]

Ed July-ien… .415/.500/.849 slash line 6 HRs in 53 PA. 

[Danchat]

What's up with Ryan? He hasn't been the same lately.

[RpR]

Same gremlin Pagan has, he does not do well under pressure.

[mrtwinsfan]

Not a big fan of Kuechal as a Twin,  But they did sign him for a reason ??  time to rotate him in for Ryan for 2-3 starts,  Ryan no doubt is arm Dead right now,   its a long Season, need to be Creative , 

[wsnydes]

Nice to see them limit the damage.

[mrtwinsfan]

Larnach ,  you watching  Wallner, ???

[RpR]

Wallner has done what it takes to stay up.

How could his arm be dead already lol it’s not even august!

[wsnydes]

Wallner!

[RpR]

The rookies should know , just putting hte bat on the ball vs striking out , is in their favor.

I tried

[RpR]

I have zip against home runs but Twins need small ball beside home runs.
