Game thread: Twins (SWR) @ Pirates (Mlodzinski); 6/8 @ 3:10pm CT

[Squirrel]

With those pitchers’ names, I see why no one started this thread yet. At least with one you can use initials. With the other, well, I grew up in a town with lots of Polish names, so I’m used to surnames with lots of consonants and few to no vowels!

Here goes … win this one, Twins! I dare you!

If we don't blow away PIT there's something seriously wrong.

Twins need to get off the schneid and end this four game losing streak today. Hopefully Woods-Richardson can pitch well to start so the Twins bat's can wake up.

Wrong -  they're the next Orioles.  Bucs have tons of very good young talent.  I believe the Twins should follow the same model.  No more high dollar losers like Correa.  I would be a seller at the deadline and bank tons of good young talent.  This version of the Twins is going nowhere.

They paid 4 million for Taylor who is not doing well this year.

He still plays a solid cf. He'd be the backup cf and start at a corner spot vs lefties. Margot or Taylor, which would you chose? 4 millions not an overpay

I would have preferred Talylor, but this year  he has been no better than the worst Twins with a bat.

Just curious….. how so? I enjoy the passion of so many on the site… positivity and criticism alike.

Would be a boring echo chamber if all the site accepted was rainbows and sunshine comments towards the Twins and especially during game threads.

It's so comfortable watching Kepler track down that long fly ball to RF.  His body language tells you to not worry, when the distance and angle could be trouble.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

What i miss?

[ashbury]

Castro with the dive back to first on a two-out grounder. WTF, Willi? A few less Little League brain cramps, okay?

Yes……. not in a stalking way though…….   yet.

[Schmoeman5]

That pitch to Joe was clearly a ball. These umpires. When are they going to start calling these games fair?
