Astros 10, Twins 3: Chris Paddack Clunker Sinks Return to Texas

[David Maro]

Clueless manager keeps running a pitcher out to get shelled inning after inning. He apparently decided it was a give away game after the 2nd inning. 

Rookie pitcher watching Twins hitting groundballs to SS and 3rd base on 1 and 2 pitches makes for a easy night.

What happened this morning, was horrible, terrible and every other word imaginable. But Paddack has the nickname sheriff and the rest of it was in reference to a song (I assume), tragic crap happens everyday, if you can't make a clever joke/quip about the damn Twins and a song, which has nothing to do with the events of today then we are done. Mourn today events, and all the events that are happening all over the world, but lighten up when somebody makes a clever comment about something in the entertainment world that may or may not put a smile on somebody's face just for moment. If you didn't like it click the disagree icon or ignore it but don't say it is in poor taste, but other's may think you are in poor taste for conflating the two. 

I guess we’re done, then.

The Twins do struggle against lefties. That is true for most teams. Hitters across baseball this year have had more trouble against left handed pitching than right handed pitching. The difference in OPS is 38 points. In OPS+ terms it is 103 vs right handed pitching and 93 vs left handed pitching. Only 6 teams have an OPS+ over 100 against lefties. The Twins rank 17th against left handed pitching.

The Twins need a lefty starter. It will be a wait for Hill and Prielipp. MacLeod is in AAA but hasn’t pitched much returning from injury. If Ober is injured I wonder if Joey Wentz gets a look. None of that is promising for 2025 but there is some hope for a left handed starter in Prielipp and Hill.

Mike's comment was the first that I heard about it. 

I had no knowledge and am goofy enough to make a similar type joke.

Agreed

I have knowledge about the dangers of watching news these days and therefore don't and therefore didn't have knowledge.

News and Politics attack from the bottom, top and sides. The informed electorate is bunched up in a ball. 

I'm the Sardine in the very middle of that ball. I decided long ago that I'm not going to choose a style of news so I can be manipulated into committing such acts. 

I'll watch baseball instead.

For clarification: 

The Joke or my comment about purposely not watching news? 

For a more light hearted topic. Where are you going on Vacation?

See my edit.... We are in suncadia, with my dad, sister, my kids, and a few others for Father's Day and his 80th. Or we'd be protesting again.
