Game Thread: Yankees (Stroman) v Twins (López), 5/15 @ 6:40pm CT

[RickOShea]

Santana has that inside swing with a miss, well mastered.

[killebrewlover]

As usual, Twins show they're sheep in wolves clothing.  They can beat up on the lesser teams, but when it comes to the big boys, faggetaboutit!!!   Ho hum...

 

[h2oface]

Back to back to back and its tied...........

[Irishman]

I always hate New York Yankees!  D  F Yankees!   

[Aggies7]

How many 3 strike at bats have we have this series 

[Patzky]

Guess it's been awhile since I got to use the AL Central feel good excuse.. at least the Guardians are losing and the Royals and Tigers lost too..

Addition by subtraction.

FO is to blame.  Can't afford to have Castro on the ML roster.

Alright already.  We may have crossed the feasibility line here. 

[killebrewlover]

I'm done.  A good nights sleep, and all of this nonsense will be forgotten. 

[h2oface]

Our bench is hitting .143 Farmer, .175 Vazquez, .177 Margot, and .224 Martin. It really is sad. How long can they keep some of these guys? 

[Aggies7]

We can’t do anything right lol

Nice thing by living in our time zone.  I can head down to the local LL fields and watch some decent play with far more effort.

Unfortunately, not an option tonight in Eastern Daylight Time, where I live.

[RpR]

Juliens fielding skills shine once more.

Jeffers had him easily.

Does a pitcher lose a quality start, if they have it through 6, but come back out and pitch longer, and give up more runs?

Yes.

It gets measured in total, so four runs in nine innings would not be considered a QS, ironically enough, even though three runs in six innings is.  

[USAFChief]

Eddie just doesn't have soft hands. Never will. He's been better at 2nd. But he just wasn't born with soft hands.

WAY down the list of immediate or long term issues, though.

Is it feasable to make roster changes to change the personell make up of our team?

Martin may still have a future, but not so much for the others.

First ya gotta have heart!

Yes.  However, this front office just doesn't seem to want to do anything other than sit on their collective hands.  I call that gross incompetence. 

[RpR]

3 pitches -- your out.

[Aggies7]

Given up 9 runs over 17 innings and haven’t really ever been in either game.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Last year's series won was an obvious outlier. Twins play scared against the Yankees. This is the kind of game where you need Royce Lewis. 

[RickOShea]

They say the Duran bobblehead doll is really cool.  I guess after so many bobbles the arm falls off.

[Aggies7]

Yankees broadcast just did the “parents are ballet dancers” trope. Never get tired of that story

Lewis is not a miracle worker, for Pete's sake.

No, but his personality and enthusiasm would help.

Kind of hard to when you can't score even a single run to save your life.

[Longdistancetwins]

How bad can this get??

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Twins play listless and scared against this team. Lewis is anything but that. So, yeah, I'd like to see him out there when the Twins go to the Bronx. Doesn't need to work miracles. Just give a shot in the arm.

[RpR]

Well, the Twins only have 5 strike outs.
