Seriously hard to watch these "hitters" bat. awful. 

Also, Greene might be good.....he's sure been healthier than Leiws.

Has he??

Hes had TJ already. Last year he had shoulder issues. This year he hit the 60 day IL.

He hasnt exactly been a beacon of health and his issues are ones that directly impact pitchers in a big way.

Lewis didn't even play last year, or the year before....so, ya?

Neither has been healthy.....which stinks, as both could be great players.

Thankfully HR was before the swinging bunt

Why Cincy wear viking helmet after HR?

Perhaps because they have to bat before the homerun? And the umpire might not approve?

I will never understand sky line chili.  Watery meat on spaghetti

[GusGus11]

Vazquez is such a liability its not even funny.

Its just selfish and flat out bad baseball IQ swinging like he just did too. All that can possibly do is lead to a weak routine DP

We cannot play this guy when games matter and we have got to find a way to not have him for 2 more years.

Was Taylor bunting for a hit or a sacrifice in the 3rd.  Both are defensible with the top of order due up.  Can't have both Julien and Polanco striking out with 2 RISP.

Can.  Did.

[Mortimerkenny21]

It wasn't pretty, but Ober got through 5 with only 2 runs. The rest of the team needs to step up their game now!

[SwainZag]

Hat trick for Julien

[RpR]

Twins watch the ball go by, once again.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Terrible batting today! 12K's in 6 innings.

[SwainZag]

Hat trick for Polonco.  All looking too.

[MMMordabito]

Greene doing his best "ya shoulda taken me" show.  Geez.

I still think the Twins got the right guy.  Just poor timing.

[GusGus11]

I mean our lineup is awful and the ABs have been equally awful(Polanco like wont even swing) but Greene looks wow today.

Just read that CC's mri showed a "full thickness tear of the central cortex of his plantar facia" This is from Betsy Helfand of the Pioneer Press. Apparently, this is a good thing as it might alleviate the discomfort he's feeling in the foot. I sure hope he's back for the playoffs. 

That seems rather counterintuitive to me. Good thing I’m not a doctor!

[SwainZag]

Top 5 in the order:  0-12 with 10 K's and 1 BB.

[RpR]

Twins can still win this game but does not bode well for the post season.

A lot of credit has to go to Greene here, but yikes.

Crap crowd for a team in playoff hunt

When Greene is on he looks like a true ace.  His problems are when control rears that ugly head.  Walks and HR tend to be a problem for him.  

[IaBeanCounter]

 4 pitch inning!  Hope Greene is a little tired.

Nah. The umpire wouldn't care. But Mr. Manfred would object.

Really no has bearing on the post season.  Cincy is desperate for a win and really needs a win for their playoff lives, while the Twins almost certainly know their fate.  The Twins are without Correa, Lewis, Jeffers, Kiriloff and Wallner who I would assume will all be in the lineup against a RHP in the playoffs.

Well, if he gets another inning let's hope that ugly cranium rears!

[RpR]

The umpire was unintentionally helping Greene with some of his strike calls

[Mortimerkenny21]

Willie, cut the lead in half!
