[Baumer67]

The 2 #1 picks with back to back at bats and fail to get runner in from 3rd.

[Aggies7]

Bleeping bums. All started with overanxious superstar wannabe Royce trying to pull an outside pitch.

[T.O.]

That's the Twins I know. 

The trades were ok. Nothing changed. 

Woo Hoo!

[Baumer67]

The hitting on this team is so pathetic!

Off the top of my head I'd say KC, DEN, CLE, MILW, STL all smaller and I'd bet there's more.

Using only city population (not metro area) the following are smaller than Minneapolis:

St Louis (80th...smaller than St Paul)

Anaheim

Cleveland 

Tampa

That is why one thinks out of the box and tries a squeeze bunt with one out.

Remember that "This is how we baseball". Not being able to score a leadoff triple sums up Baldelli ball and his crap line-ups.  I know it is hard to make soup out of S but these line-ups all season have been doing this. Twins have zero clutch players. 

[ziggy]

The Twins play 'me' ball, not team ball.

Been going on all year and continues even after Bloody Thursday.

He is right back to moving all over in the box ,  dont they talk -in game - ?

Rocco! WTF!? It’s not rocket science… when a guy gets three hits and plays fine in the field, you write his name in the lineup the next day!

Rocco is Bullocks at development and line-ups.

Wonder what kind of losing streak there gonna build up. Bring up some young guys with talent. I would option Royce Lewis to St. Paul. 

[Aggies7]

Now Cleveland has the same exact situation as we did last inning. With a guy making his mlb debut. Wonder how this will go 

[Baumer67]

Ober doesn't seem any different than before going on IR.  He's throwing a ton of pitches.

Size of the city has zilch to do with inability to bunt anyway.

[Joffell]

If ever there was a team that should be playing contact small ball…..  trying to manufacture runs,  absolutely must take advantage of what the other team tries to give you….

Not a factor for the Minnesota Twins. 

[Patzky]

As simple as that! An RBI groundout.

[Aggies7]

0-2 hittable pitch to the debutante. Why does Lee not go to second? I don’t think I can do this much longer lol

Ober looks no different to me.
