The basic problem is, the team just isn't really very good.

Surprisingly, we have only lost a little ground within the division to Detroit.

We are no longer a wild card team though.

And if the Reds played well against Detroit, i suppose we gotta come out sharp. Instead of flat. And sorry if i my humor is accidental. It's hard to just be natural.

Your articulation of the Twins measure of success, or rather lack of, is spot on. Your humor is a minor masterpiece. 

Time to head to the bar.

It seems every team we play is the Hottest Team In Baseball ™ when we get them.  Toronto. Houston. Cincinnati. 

Or .. maybe it's just because we're the Nottest Team

I suspect that most teams are circling their dates with the Twins on the calendar as a  “get right” series. 
 

I did vote yes for will the Twins win today. It is getting harder and harder to see a way out of this though.

Yet another lefty. I bet Wallner, Clemens and Larnach are getting sick of this. Another start for Bride, ugh. Please prove me wrong Jonah.🥵

Twins face 3 lefties this week. Larnach in the lineup tonight.

No Wallner in the lineup against a lefty. At this point, wouldn't he be better than Bride regardless of the matchup?

I agree, but if Bride is on the roster, when is he going to play? 

If you check my posts, you will see that I don't think Bride should be on the roster.

Yeah, and they brought up Keirsey Jr. instead of Gasper, to pretty much not play him. I'm not sure; it doesn't make sense to me. Bring up players who are producing and put them in the lineup, regardless of the matchup. That's my take.

To add to this, Wallner only had 38 at-bats vs lefties last year and 20 this year; those numbers pretty much say he's a platoon player when a lefty is on the mound.

He's getting many more opportunities this year. It only makes sense to rest him and Larnach against lefties--look at the numbers, but they are being pinch hit for far less often and getting occasional starts vs. southpaws.

play the money line, good odds if twins win--  run total is 8.5   ??  wonder if its just for the reds ?  Twins win and the Reds and Twins will have the same record ,  Go Twins

"He's been scuffing a bit lately."

 

Of course who hasn't..

Reminder of Abbot's last performance against the Guardians:  9IP/3H/0ER/5K/1BB and held a 1-0 lead.  One hope is that he threw 110 pitches in that outing.

Greene, Bubic.. they are as advertised but can be gotten. This guy's in the same vein.

I’ve heard he’s terrible at third base, if that helps.

Wut? When the heck else would he play?  Unfortunately this exact circumstance is why he is still on the roster-in case Lewis got hurt.  

I know this is a game thread but come on.

Why would anyone want Bride in the lineup, no matter who is pitching?

Neither have many PAs, but Wallner's OPS against LH pitching is 90 pts higher than Bride.
