The Alcala control/command problem makes an appearance.

Edit: whew.

[Patzky]

We have the right guys up for the 9th. Who's pitching the bottom.. Okert?

That was a raggedy inning but it ended the way it needed to.

[USAFChief]

In play, run(s) if you don't mind.

We better hope the first three guys do something because Margot is due to hit 5th this inning.

Pirate fireball pitcher, get the bat squarely on the ball and it should go a long way.

Nice try.

[Aggies7]

Leadoff double don’t even move the runner. Bunch of bums 

[USAFChief]

Still don't have a run producing hit this series.

This ENTIRE series.

But let's not hold anyone accountable.

No. You nailed it.

We're all shocked.

Is it a rule that Twins hitters can’t take a pitch or two?

They often do if is down the middle of the plate, sadly.

[Aggies7]

How many six game losing streaks would this be if we were to fail? 3?

[Patzky]

Seems like that Michael Taylor did is alright. Can make a play and steal a base. Sure wish.

 

[Cave Bear]

Just once I'd like to see our hitters give themselves up to ADVANCE a baserunner. They have got to be the worst in MLB in that regard.

There also seems no set approach at the plate,
