Game Thread: Twins (Ober) @ Royals (Lyles), 7/29/23 @ 6:10 CT

[TWTwinsFan]

There is your Twins,sweep Royals?

[jkcarew]

Roh-roh…Fangraphs has our pitching staff at 20th in the league since the AS break…the best club we’ve played being offensively challenged Seattle.

Add starting pitcher to the list of needs for the epic run to the AL pennant.

I think that meltdown against Seattle Tuesday brought a dark cloud that is still hanging over this team.

Maybe this game convinces the front office to sell.

I would hope, if they have any honor and humility….. they would retire en masse 

[CRF]

There's a reason Lyles is 1-12...we're a couple big hits away from being right back in this game.

Same thought here,like vs yankees last year,once again proves that coaches have no ability to lead this team,the veterans too.

 It follows up a blown call at home plate on the blocking the plate call.

He effectively ended the threat.

[MABB1959]

Bright side Cleveland is losing to the White Sox.  

[rwilfong86]

Jordy Blaze up in the pen

[wsnydes]

Scherzer headed to Texas.

I hope the Twins bring up Keuchel and let Ryan go to the IL until Ryan gets over his dead arm syndrome.

[PDX Twin]

Mendoza's back under the Buxton line. Or something like that...

[Parfigliano]

Pity TC spotted them 6

[wsnydes]

Keep it moving, fellas...

[wsnydes]

HBP isn't quite what I had in mind, but it'll work.

[Parfigliano]

Ruh-roh bases loaded.

Good way to get on base in an 0-2 count.

Now if Correa can do... something

He did what he does best.

[CRF]

KC is trying really hard to give us this game, we just need the cajones to take it.

[wsnydes]

Sigh...

[CRF]

Anyone else getting tired of Sherlock Belzer?

[ChermesZ]

Hey, Correa leads the league in…..something.

[cHawk]

That's a shame.

Hit it hard

Yup. On the ground right at an infielder. He extends his league lead in GIDP to 5, 21-16. At least in the leadoff spot he should often bat with the bases empty.
