In other news, Steven Kwan pulled from the game with wrist inflammation.  Maybe the Cleveland voodoo magic is wearing off

Peter, this lends itself to sooooooooooo many questions.

[Patzky]

A loss without Fundy is an unfun loss indeed.

[RpR]

LIans, and Tigers and Blunderburk OH MY.

[thelanges5]

No runs even off their 5 era relievers? Come on dudes. Salvage some of your dignity.

Take what we can get.. but I do hope it's nothing major.

Days are ruined when twins lose 

[Patzky]

Yandy will be the only guy happy to see the Twins leave town

Especially when they leave multi-runners on base.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Aranda is really annoying.

[Patzky]

One thing you can always depend on. Walks will haunt. Prepare to be Funderstruck again

Visiting old friends --- Polanco -Garver -and Solano  in seattle

Still 5 games over .500

Lots to like but the offense isn’t one of them. 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

The Twins' line-up didn't necessarily figure anything out during the winning streak. They got hot and stayed that way for a while. But going back to the second game of the DH against Cleveland, the bats have been scuffling and I just think that's who this group is. Starting pitching will have to be dominant and more efficient, i.e., pitch deeper into games, if the Twins are going to contend for the wildcard.

DBarrels! I always liked him

Silver lining - Alcala's ERA continues to retreat. It's hovering at 6.5!

With upcoming schedule 5 games over .500 wont last long. Won’t beat Seattle/win one against A’s then be lucky to win on homestand-it’s going to get worse before it gets better

We’ve basically become the Seattle Mariners. Pitching staff that’s capable of 90+ wins with a slightly above average offense. But stuck with an offense that holds the team back to 85 ish wins.

I've never seen a team called for so many balks.........

[RpR]

Blunderburk strikes again.

Just hope we can contend first wild card. Can’t rely on pitching. Bats have to start producing. Otherwise it’s going to be long summer

Funberbalk

Looked like a correct call to me

[Vanimal46]

I just tuned in very late. Where’s Provus today?

A's have been horrible for weeks. Perhaps the re-visit there will remove Royslump's curse. Perhaps not as it's in Sacramento. Someone has to drive him up to the Coliseum to pay his respects..

Yup. That's a good comparison. 

[RpR]

They would lose without them but Lopez dinger fest by Tampa Bay, is what makes this REAL bad.

IIRC, he's been away the entire series.

[Patzky]

Guards come back against the Dodgers. If you want to see how it's done.
