Seven guys in the lineup hitting under .250 with OPS under .700.

Saying there are 7 guys under .250 with OPS under .700 doesn't really capture the staggering ineptitude of the Twins hitters. A bit more accurate take would be to say that 6 of the hitters are under .155 with OPSs of .580 or less.

Sure can't complain about this bullpen (and to a lesser extent the pitching in general).

[MMMordabito]

Clase has never blown a save against the Twins. 🙂

[Parfigliano]

Im hearing boo's

[rwilfong86]

We are looking at a 3rd place level team

I think the statement is, the Twins have never been able to get to clase.

[jkcarew]

Zero missiles from Castro this season. 
It’s a full-blown crisis.

[Aggies7]

How do you have 3 hitting coaches and stink this bad at it?

[Hubie29]

As I said earlier this week, Gallo would be king in this lineup.  Another HR today. 

[RickOShea]

Notice how the Guardians cover their faces in their sleeves when they laugh.  They can't even take the Twins, seriously.

[Parfigliano]

Popkins teach them the take a knee swing?

[notoriousgod71]

No hitter averted!

baseball's version of football's victory formation.

Laughable

[Parfigliano]

To quote someone "sad"

[Hubie29]

Progress!!!

[Hubie29]

This is when we should be glad DISH took Bally Sports away.

[ChermesZ]

Twins, that was pathetic.

[darwin22]

I would suggest it would be hard to find to WORSE home games in Twins history than these 2 clunkers (being nice)

0-23 with RISP

29 whiffs 

 

Praying for a rainout tomorrow.

It can (and likely) get worse with the Dodgers coming in for 3.

Pitiful. Embarrassing. Horrible.

[Hubie29]

I am a lifelong Twins fan all the way back to the Herb Carneal days.  Killebrew, Oliva. Tovar, Carew etc.  Didn't go to a game last year, first year ever, but was kind of excited to go to a few games this year.  Not so sure that is going to happen with this team and management. I did buy tickets for the Kernels coming up.  I might just make that a monthly trip. 

[ChermesZ]

A worse opening series?

 

This on the tail of cutting payroll.

 

twins are a dumpster fire.

[Schmoeman5]

Do we Twins fan's not get to hear Rocco sell something like how the Twins are getting close. A couple ball just missed etc etc.

Exactly what I expected. Thanks Rocco. 👍

How is Popkins still the hitting coach? The bats have gone thought these streaks every year. It’s absolutely embarrassing 

[Peter]

Season is over 😡🤮💩🤬💩🤮😡

[Schmoeman5]

He's inexpensive? Can't go over the budget. These hitters are all professionals. Maybe it is on coaching. Something isn't right. Same coach who was there for the 2nd half last season. Even though they won 3 playoff games last year it wasn't like they were lighting it up. Most of the contributions came from Lewis and Correa. This season more of the same so far

[Azviking101]

I truly hope they’re bad this year. It sounds awful I know, but we can’t let Joe Pohlad get away with this. If they make the playoffs and lost in the wild card round then the Pohlad’s will see that as a good season.
