Braves (Sale) vs Twins (Festa): 8/28/24, 6:40pm

[Irishman]

This Twins lineup tonight is not impressive.

With day off tomorrow, Lewis and Kepler are not in lineup.  Is that joke or what?

Wait..wut? 

You're allowed to add players during the season? 

 

From other TEAMS??!?

Twins did that...and then put him on waivers 3 weeks later. 🤦‍♂️

[gregens]

I actually don't want Lewis in the line-up at this point.

Yeah… let the one guy who could actually do some damage sit. Yes he is in a funk, it won’t last forever. Rocco might have a spot on the coaching staff for you😉

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Wallner almost decapitated him...

[mrtwinsfan]

Nice  p.a. Wallner

I don't understand this.

He's been struggling, but unless he's injured he has to be in the lineup. 

I suspect he's more injured than I've suspected.

Perfect game watch begins...

Bally will be doing twins playoffs-don’t want the big city National tv networks having small town twins on

Bally won’t have to worry if this display of ineptness continues

I more accurate statement on my part should have been, I'd rather Miranda play 3rd than Lewis.  Lewis at dh is fine.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Lead over Boston likely down to 3 games after tonight. Still have to go to Fenway in late September. If Correa and Buxton aren't back soon, the playoffs aren't happening.

Cmon Miranda 

 

Edit: terrible. Had multiple pitches to put in play.

Kind of unlucky that bounced into the seats. Even slow Jeffers mightve been close to an itphr had that bounced into the corner behind soler

[mrtwinsfan]

even over his head roy

Yeah...but also kind of lucky it dropped fair.

[mrtwinsfan]

Figured out the Problem   -----Roy  ?

[mrtwinsfan]

Gotta score -- or Done here

[gregens]

Come on Castro... ducks on the pond.

[2wins87]

Ugh. Can't do this again tonight

[USAFChief]

Heh.

 

Nice AB Castro

[BiggestRoccoFan]

This team plays like their manager manages. With no pulse.

Pretty good example of why "run expectancy charts" are by and large caca.

[jaimedude]

Festa is pitching his butt off, and Twins hitters batting like a collective butt pucker. 2nd and 3rd with no outs and no scoring. How much frustration keeps setting in. Self defeating, Sale is good but not even a sacrifice fly. 

[exeoud]

Don't worry Rocco wrote "stay hungry" on the whiteboard, everything is fine
