Yankees (Schmidt) vs Twins (Ryan): 5/16/24, 12:10pm

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

26 straight scoreless innings. Bats better wake up tomorrow night.

[Fitzpatrick54]

1 run in 3 games vs. the Yanks. Please, T-Wolves, give us something for us to cheer about...no wait: they're playing the NUGGETS!

Great performances for the hometown. A sure way to bring out the fans.

 DaShawn Keirsey went 2-for-3 with a walk. He stole his 11th base. That accounted for half of the Saints hits.

He has been ripping all year, and plays center...... I'll let you look it up.

Wallner was 0-4 with 4 strikeouts and an error yesterday. 

 

The cupboard is empty.

So stupid, it's hilarious. An insult contest between Melissa McCarthy and Hugh Grant is a personal favorite

I will add that to my list thanks!

It'll get better tonight when the Timberwolves get destroyed by the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets!

Go Lynx! Go Minnesota United FC! Make our city proud for a change!

You should mention this another half dozen times or so.

A constructive question was asked. I answered with the best option. It wasn't Wallner. In spring training, when Wallner was made a lock by posters and management, even though all he could do is strike out, I said that he should be in AAA and strike out there for a month and only bring him back up if he got hot and settled in again (it is on the record), and got dissed for saying that.

Keirsey has been really good for 2 years now. If someone is to be a brought up that can play center and run bases and field and hit, it should be him.

I'd love to drop a fresh face on the field against the Guardians. I was wondering who would Buxton replace.. now I'm wondering who should replace Kirilloff. Maybe Larnach too..

 

Historically the team won't do this.

Like I said before, the Twins' 44-119 record against the Yankee$ since '02 is the Pohlad family's fault. 

You want to know why? They don't spend big money on free agents like the Yankees and Dodgers do.

So, blame it on the Pohlads for being stingy on free agents, and Manfred for not installing a salary cap so we (and other small-market teams) can be competitive with the large-market clubs.

In the meantime, can't wait until the new City Connect jerseys debut...tomorrow, the Guardians (Twins' next opponent) wear their new CC jerseys!

Unfortunately some owners and the players' union do not want a salary cap. The players especially do not want to limit salaries for the big free agent superstars.

Bummer, on to Cleveland, hope they remember their bats.

Thielbar has been next to useless as well as Jackson (today notwithstanding). Alcala? Boushley?

I'm shocked we saw Okert and Jackson go back-to-back without giving up runs.

No pressure. Hmmmmmmm

The Yankees are 114-49 vs. the Twins since 2002. Who's running the Twins: the Pohlads, or the Estate of Charles M. Schulz (Minneapolis native, creator of Peanuts, and responsible for Charlie Brown's All Stars losing all the time)?

We've beaten the Yankees 49 times? I call BS.

The guy's posts were repetitive. It is ok, I guess, to have a thin skin on these forums, but name calling is a no no.

[Irishman]

FO and scouting dept should be replaced.  Baldelli needs to go.  Very embarrassing!

Sigh. We can't seem to do anything right, can we?

I think we're playing the long game.

As Luke told the Emperor in Jedi "You're overconfidence is your weakness."

I bet they'll be less overconfident later if we put them in their place now.

 

That, and just maybe having Buxton and Lewis back next time might make a difference.
