Paddack and Ober, afraid to throw inside to righties, this is the result 

Ober pitched well and was screwed on 2 swings with xBA of like .220

 

Royce Lewis having only 3PAs as the 5 hitter and Rocco’s man crush on Thielbar were the problems.

5 innings, 4 walks and 3 runs is not “well”. I mean I guess against the Yankees it should be considered a gem.

For the Twins, they should retire his jersey.

Rodon can be beaten; the question being can Paddack hold the line.

I guess that question was answered.

If the bar were any lower, you’d trip over it 

[Patzky]

Time for another closed door meeting.. might as well wait until after tomorrow's game.

[Aggies7]

Notice how often our batters chase out of the zone. And how infrequently theirs do.  It’s a stunning difference. Talent? Coaching? Both?

Like I said the 3 runs were on swings that based on xBA should be outs 

Twins could never get a pitcher like Gil and never would have had a chance at him so we have to take what we can get. 

[Aggies7]

Of course he catches it lmao

[Patzky]

Noisy out. Moral victory.

When do the law of averages kick in?

[Azviking101]

Watching the Yankees telecast to make things more miserable on myself. The announcers and fans acted like that was the most incredible catch of all time lol. It was good, but that kind of catch is made daily lol 

If Verdugo wasn’t in the 28th percentile for speed he could have camped under that 

[Patzky]

Maybe Paddack can go five.

Innings or outs?

It’s taken 22 years and hasn’t kicked in yet.

Pretty sad isn’t it? This isn’t football where the better team wins 90% of the time.

[Patzky]

See there he threw up and in on Soto. Learned sumptin.

[CRF]

The sad thing is...even if Paddack and whoever follows him, shut NY down the rest of the way, we're still gonna lose this 4-0 or maybe 4-1. UGH!

You mean Paddack threw up and in?

”See there he threw up”— you could have stopped there 🙂

Other than the Globetrotters and Washington Generals, no where in sports will you find such domination of one team by another.

Hey it kicked in last year during the worst Yankees season this century. Just have to wait for them to suck again 

[Aggies7]

Pathetic

I saw the Globetrotters and Generals at MSG back around 1970 or so, with the immortal Red Klotz playing for the Generals. I think the Trotters won.😜

[Aggies7]

Paddack just had to get those 4 runs out of the way and he settled in 

[RpR]

If the Twins batters can stop chasing crap or hit the ball where some one is not they can still win.
