Ballgame. Extra innings against Clase. 0.5 game lead after the Royals meltdown is complete.

Extra innings sounds like a pipedream rn.

[gregens]

I wish there was some way the Twins could get Wallner more PAs the rest of the season.  But, I guess I can't think of any way they could.

Leadoff double and at no point did I feel like they were a threat to score.

Wallner came to play

[mrmpls]

NO WALKS LOUIE

[David HK]

Let's see, did I forget to thank Rocco for starting Duran against the bottom of the order in the 8th with a 4-run lead, then having to bring in Grif in the 9th, thereby blowing our 2 best relievers for today? 🤔

Oh, yeh, I did that yesterday.  Just reminded myself, that's all.

[USAFChief]

Nice play Correa. I wonder if Lee (or Castro) makes that play. 

[TwinsCD]

At the very least, Buxton has to bat for Margot in this inning.  Lewis for Lee or Miranda?  That may be a push given his latest slump.

Yes.

Take every game into extra innings.

Calling Rocco  Stupid ??  --  i will  4ya

[exeoud]

Wallner/Correa are the only shot to score with this atrocious lineup Rocco cooked up. Don't think they're getting another chance.

[gregens]

Nice inning Mr Varland.

Where's New Jersey tonight?  We need some magic!!

[NYCTK]

Just flipped from the Mets game and, man, the Twins booth really isn't great. When Plouffe is in there it's fun, but otherwise they're so dry and boring.

Incredible. Only time in history someone's wanted to see New Jersey.

That’s the worst part with facing Clase. It doesn’t help you psyche any when you’re in a slump.

[Aggies7]

Maybe clasé stinks in non save situations too

You're worried about Duran when the lineup outside of three guys is O-16

Go Mets

[David HK]

I remember when Kenny Lofton and the crew used to bully us around.  Now they're bat-flipping and smirking on the mound.  

And we're just gonna let ém.

Lotta pop outs

[USAFChief]

Lee tosses his hat into the "Worst AB of the Year" ring.

[Patzky]

Hopelessly overmatched

[2wins87]

Lee's body language... just looks defeated

[jkcarew]

So close

right?

And playing that ball off his glove at 3rd the other night into a double ... not a good look. 

[exeoud]

Correa to Lee "yeah dude you struggle to make good contact against 90-95, you're not touching 100 good luck"

Correas fault

We just have zero chance with Clase.
