You know how much it sucks being a Twins fan?

Imagine being an Angels fan.

I can't imagine TC having  LAA's 67 wins.  TCs 64 wins seems right.

Four errors. Dude sitting dejectedly on the warning track after failing to catch Royce's home run was quite the visual.

The Angels played a terrible game yesterday, no question. They have had as little success overall as the Twins since they won a World Series in the early 2000s despite having both Ohtani and Trout on their team. They were around .500 until the last few weeks, but never looked like a playoff contender. I really don't know which franchise (MN or LAA) is in the worst state.

Emmanuel Rodriguez called up to St Paul today.

Am I the only one that want's the Twins to sign Josh Naylor as a free agent to play first base next year. I've always thought he plays a decent first base, and has hit well as an opponent in Target Field. I'm not saying it will happen but Naylor is on my wish list to start at first base for the Twins next year. Hoping Twins go for a quick rebuild and compete for Division and playoffs next year. If we keep Ober, Lopez, Ryan, Matthews and Woods Richardson I thinks Twins already have a competitive rotation. Keep them all healthy and add to the offense  a first basemen and rebuild the bullpen and I think Twins could return to competitiveness next year.

Heh... and the Tiggers just sent in Paddack to mop 'em up. 😜

How much we Naylor cost?

[David HK]

A quick check of boxes before I'm off to class- what da heck, here's old friend Dietrich Enns still chuckin' for the O's!  And with his stats, he'd be a leading light with this BP.

Which brought to mind his trade partner Zach Littell- who's now slinging for the Reds- 28 starts, sub- 4 ERA.

Hmph.

Awesome!  

Heh... I hope she gets a chance to run Rocco... 😅

[Parfigliano]

I was hoping Rocco had been fired as a "game time" decision.  No such luck.

[Parfigliano]

Not a nice AB Larnach.

It a good day when the Yankees lose to an opponent  ...

It's a great day when the twins beat the Yankees  ...

I was watching that game , Detroit sent up a bunch of hitters and scored a bunch of runs with no body out in that seventh inning , commanding lead by detroit ...

[ziggy]

Jen's strike zone is a little wobbly right now.

And what a treat for the fine fans of the NYY- they get to see that beatdown in their home park! 😅

[David HK]

Hmm... runner on 3rd, less than 2 outs-  I wonder which team knows how to get that guy home?  🤔

Twins with the infielders playing in.

Try calling a strike ump

Angels.

[Parfigliano]

Always swings at 1st pitch...why throw strike?

[Parfigliano]

Oh boy.  Big hole early.

[IndyTwinsFan]

What is it with TC starters and continuously poor and lengthy first innings?  Seems to happen on a very regular basis.

It's a tradition I'd prefer to get rid of, permanently.  But I already know that's asking way too much from this staff.
