I know people don't like us to witch about lineups, but really? Does anyone know why our top or and rbi guy catcher is sitting today? Jeffers was 0-3 yesterday.

Fitzpatrick54 Verified Member Posted May 16, 2024 Posted May 16, 2024 The Rally Sausage is nothing but a fad. The 2024 Twins are frauds. The Pohlads are to blame for losing to the Yankees often. And the T-Wolves will be eliminated tonight. What else do you expect from Minnesota sports? 33 years without a title, and all 4 teams are awful (well, the Twins are awful in this series). When will the Twins, Vikings, Wolves and Wild stop losing big games & give us a World Championship after all this? Pathetic.

It should have been 1-0, and he goes into the sixth and gets pulled with runner on second, and Theilbar doesn't provide relief. Are we watching the same game? USAFChief 1
Aggies7 Old-Timey Member Posted May 16, 2024 Posted May 16, 2024 0-6 with 5 k’s for the first two “hitters” in the lineup. i don’t think that’s ideal, but im not big into analytics

Thanks, Manfred, for not implementing a salary cap and a level playing field for all 30 teams. Manfred, why don't you quit being Commisioner of MLB, and have someone who can give the Twins a fighting chance vs. the Yank$$$$.

Has to be other people getting hits or walks before or after to make it happen. It's a double-standard.
