Sigh.

Some shi**y pitching. 

Can't finish anyone off.

Must be fun watching a lineup this good every night.

They've scored 25% more runs than MN! Staggering.

Waiting for Mr gopher to appear and put this game on ice.

Yep…they can hit.

I don’t take the 6-game losing streak they’re bringing into the series as a good thing for the Twins.

I think we're just about there.

And it's playing out that way, thus far.

[RpR]

Lewis apparently is not as fleet footed as desired.

[CRF]

MAT is gonna lead this team in homers.

I said the same yesterday. I always hate seeing good teams on losing streaks.

Luplow is who we thought he was. Why does he have a job?

Consider becoming a Caretaker. Best money I ever spent. 

I mean, besides the ring for the future Mrs. IT. 

[Mike Sixel]

62% chance of scoring 1 or more runs with a runner on 2nd and no one out....

 Better hope the current Mrs IT doesn't lurk the game thread

Did you get a stern elbow to the ribs to remind you of that afterthought?  🤣

Never tell me the odds!

[USAFChief]

Has Correa gotten a 2 out RBI hit this year?

Would Buxton in center really make the team better at this point?

[RpR]

It should be 4-3.

Make that 5-3.

[USAFChief]

Wow. Per Perkins, the Rangers have 146 more PAs with RISP than the Twins...and 9 fewer Ks.

[GusGus11]

Polanco not advancing the runner is not what vets do. And Correa rarely coming through to pick guys up is also a major issue.

Zero percent this inning. 

AARGH.

That's almost the exact number of runs more they've scored than MN! Seems like not a coincidence...

[GusGus11]

Lopez has got to be better than this

No. But he doesn’t have any 2-out GiDP, either.

You have to take the good with the bad.

[USAFChief]

This is an AWFUL performance from Lopez. One bad pitch after another. 

Very disappointing. 

[IndyTwinsFan]

Pablo will clearly need to take one for the team, as he clearly doesn't have anywhere near his best stuff tonight.

[RickOShea]

Hey, I thought King Kong Bundy had passed.
