Game Thread: Twins (Maeda) @ Royals (Yarbrough), 7/30/23 @ 1:10 CT

Another sickening loss.

[Vanimal46]

We gave KC their first 3 game win streak all season. You couldn’t time this poor play any worse. Sell sell sell! 

[Winston Smith]

Gallo K'd just shocking! Really should be his last at bat for the Twins.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I'd like to congratulate the front office, coaches, and players for such a successful road series in Kansas City.

People should be fired after that performance. Sorry.

I'm wondering why I put myself through this frustration.  

[mrtwinsfan]

Cant make it up,    

[CRF]

Perfect analogy! I think I will steal this for other things 

[ChermesZ]

I for one won’t be buying any tickets for this dumpster fire.

 

waste of money.

I believe that Gray could bring back a good return in a trade to a team that needs pitching.

You can’t just look at that 3-1 pitch Gallo… and of course he strikes out. 

Gallo is official Strikeout King!!!

They lost again.    Baldelli should be fired, but Pohlad and FO do not have any gut to fire him!!!!!

Yep.  Count me in!

[Aggies7]

Hopefully any player of any value is actively being shopped. Like now if it hasn’t already been happening. Do us all a favor. No one wants to see this in the postseason

Someone would pay a good premium with the way the last few days have gone by the way of moves for starting pitchers.

They’ll make the postseason?

 

I'm doubtful.

All an opposing team needs to do is start 2 Tommy Milone types and it is game, set, match.

You're not wrong and I think people around here know me well enough that I'm not one to say that lightly.

Who here has watched Letterkenny? The hockey coach screams something constantly that absolutely applies to the Twins right now.

It’s bad karma to call for another man’s job…but it’s a performance based business unfortunately

I mean, there's no excuse for a lineup this talented (and expensive) to be THIS BAD. It's inexcusable.

Even now, Jamie Moyer would destroy us.

I don’t think so..   No chance!

Yep, he’s in his own head. Fastball low and inside to a lefty, he should have crushed it.

5 game losing streak to worst teams in baseball 

Seattle and Kansas City

all these threads on what the twins need to make the playoffs, are a joke. All it will take is for Cleveland to get back on track for about two weeks, and Twins will once again be an asterisk ( leafing at Allstate break and fading like the Titanic)

this team has the parts, but can’t ever get the big hit or big strikeout 

[Robert Floren]

Takes a very devout fan to keep watching.  Painful.

They get big strikeouts as hitters.

Seattle is not even close to one of the worst teams in baseball.

And Cleveland is just as frustrating as the Twins.

...and Jamie Moyer is 60 years old! Just think what he would've done to us when he was in his late 40's!

[gman]

The Twins could win the division by default. We could trade for a 2 month rental. We could get our butts handed to us in the playoffs. But would any of that make this a better team?"
