Not C4's best effort.

 

As seems to be the case far more often than not.

Tigers - as they seem to often against the Twins - singled us to death.  Quick tally was 17 hits on 28 balls in play.

Twins bullpen are terrible tonight.  I think Baldelli left Balazoviv in there too long.   He allowed 6 hits in two innings.   What the hell was Baldelli doing?   

Using up innings to rest the best arms for tomorrow ...

A trait we haven't been been good at for quite some time now.

Every time I think about coming back in on the twins, they pull me back out. Bizarro Michael Corleone

Every time there’s a slight bit of positive momentum, this team makes sure to cut that out immediately and lose series to terrible teams… I suppose that’s just what .500 teams do.

4 game series, but your final point still stands.

Let's come to type tomorrow!

Oh and hope our Twins come to play, too.

said earlier..Twins don't exactly shine against the Tigers. Bullpen awful tonite. Had a glimmer in the 9th but Correa had a miserable AB to end it. But won't win many with this awful pitching.

At least we lost no ground with the Guardians losing too.

 ( I had similar frustrations as Houston beat up the O's pen again..they were terrible, but TB lost also.)

Funny thing: when do you know how many runs is enough? Tonite Lehigh Valley was leading Rochester 14-8 late (it was 13-4 at one point) The 14th run came in the 8th inning. Rochester needed to 6 to tie and they got 5. Who knew how crucial that 14th run would be.

Blame it on James Rowson, who teaches contact as a way to score runs.
