Can’t even capitalize when the ump gives us one.

For real. That was a gift and we still couldn’t capitalize.

Nobody to blame but themselves

BIG BREAK

Well, it was.  And yet, six pitches later, it didn’t matter.  

[USAFChief]

You can see the moment gets too big, sometimes.

Even MLBers succumb to pressure sometimes

We've had 5 walks and not made them pay for any. Frustrating.

Yet, the only hit was the Kep double in the 1st.

Have we used up all the magic 

[RocRedWing]

this is such a winnable game. left sooooooooooooooooooooooooo many runs out there on the bases.

[Aggies7]

Maeda does nothing for me 

[2wins87]

Maeda has not looked good in this series.

Might rather have Paddack or Varland

A major YUK there.

[CoastiePilot08]

Awful awful approaches by the 3-4 hitters. 

[Aggies7]

I do not understand the love affair with maeda

[insagt1]

these are the kind of nightmare games where our key hitters just aren't coming thru. Is the stage too big for the Twins to compete in such an important game? They have been dreadful. And today, I doubt it will improve.

Tomorrow is another day.

[Linus]

Kenta getting way too much of the plate. 

[USAFChief]

Don't see Dusty sitting on his hands with a lead.

Leadoff walk...H and R with 9 hole hitter. 

HOF manager. One area Houston Outclasses us

 

[Danchat]

Surprised they aren't saving Maeda for tomorrow. I guess Paddack is the backup to Ryan?

He's been hot-and-cold this year, he's been great when hot. Unfortunately he is not right now.

[IndyTwinsFan]

This game is almost making it look like the moment was way too big for us.

UGH!

[USAFChief]

RBI opportunities cashed.

Zero stones.

c'mon really?

[TWTwinsFan]

Houston is teaching our hitters how to hit when RISP

 

[Aggies7]

That’ll do it. Guess I’ll stop stealing time from my employer and go punch out 😂

[wavedog]

Well, I try to be optimistic but I think that about does it for this one.  Come back tomorrow and don't let the leadoff hitter get on each inning.

At this point Maeda is just eating innings

That is not very difficult to do.

Royce lewis turning from hero to miguel sano right before our eyes.

[TWTwinsFan]

tomorrow is a must win game 

Ryan will be taken out early in the game

and Duran will pitch in the 7th or early

You are down 5-0 in the 6th and your offense can't produce ****.  You potentially have 2 games in the next 3 days, why waste anyone you might need?  Maeda has been pretty solid the last 2 months.  What declares using him here as a "love affair"?
