Twins have 2 players with 100 games played. One of them is a utility guy, the other is Manny ******* Margot.

Cleveland has 4. Jose Ramirez, Josh Naylor, Andres Gimenez, and Tyler Freeman.

Kwan missed a month,  UT has 91 games played.

Cleveland believes you play your best players. Every day.

You have to be a switch hitter to play every day for the Twins.

Was hoping the Twins would rally, doesn't look good.

This is the danger of playing huge series-big city national media always screws twins!!! Rocco needs to keep them away!!!

We should play the Saints and Kernels?

[Craig Arko]

I think next Spring Lewis needs to learn to play second base.

[Patzky]

Vazquez player of the game.

[CRF]

Vazquez ate his spinach today...too bad nobody else did. 

[gregens]

I'm thinking that Farmer shouldn't be allowed to hit for a team trying to win games in the mlb.  It's just not working out no matter how many times they try.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Can someone please help Vasquez and drive him in! He can't support the team by himself!

[thelanges5]

Vaz and Buck are the only ones that came to play today. LFG offense!

St Paul is a pretty big metropolis. 

[Aggies7]

World class at bat by willi there 

[thelanges5]

Three pitches three strikes that’s not gonna get it done

[karcherd]

Great at bat Willi, but don't worry you will be in the lineup every day.

Farmer should be DFA'd, he is toast. He is not an asset on defense.  Martin would have caught that floating  chip shot broken bat hit.

3 called strikes. Only 1 was a definite strike 

[CRF]

Smith, Gaddis, and Clase...all pitched last night for Cleve. You can't do that! Someone should remind Rocco that you actually can use a reliever on consecutive days/games.

I certainly agree with the premise of your post.  However the Twins currently have 3 players who have appeared in >=100  games: Castro, Santana, and Margot (because he's a pinch hitting specialist. lol).

Yesterday was frustrating but at least competitive today is just hard to watch.

Prepare for the Manny experience in the 9th inning, maybe this will be the day for a hit when pinch hitting.

Most likely only if Cleveland brings a lefty.

[Patzky]

This is how it feels when a real pitching pipeline leaks all over your beautiful 🎯 mound.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

This team has one clutch player and he's been MIA for over a month.

They had one warming up, I thought for sure they would bring him in to face Larnach and Wallner.  Maybe the threat of Margot on the bench made them change their mind.

Cleveland is simply a better team. Better bullpen. Productive at bats. They put on a clinic today and they'll win this division by 5+ games.

[USAFChief]

Sad news: looks like Twins Daily owner and founder Nick Nelson's major league Dreams might be coming to an end:

Why they're the best team in the AL.

[USAFChief]

Buck Truck!

4 runs

6 runs

1 run

1 run

That's some really bad offense.
