Royals (Avila) v Twins (Ryan), 6/6 @ 1:10pm CDT

[MMMordabito]

Really uninspiring 9th. Forcing the Lewis narrative does nothing for me.

[Twindy]

Pretty good pitch there, but once again the twins batter was wanting to walk and struck out.

[Parfigliano]

At least Lewis went out not swinging

Don't worry. We are just setting up the walk-off grand slam for Royce.

We just needed one more runner and I'm sure it would have happened.

Orze should not get another save opportunity. He's now 1/4. The guy isn't close to being a high leverage pitcher. I'd rather Gomez get another inning.

.160 hitter fails.

Didn't spend enough time in st paul

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Royals 9th inning compared to the Twins...all we need to know. This team will be in dead last by July 1.

[Recognize]

They doing a Sano. Oh he's been hitting HRs in st paul so he's ready

Great pitch honestly. Royce never saw it coming. 

One of many.

[h2oface]

Begging for walks. Last two batters. Hittable pitches. Witt would have swung. 
 

Lewis was gone for a while, He changed his eye black, but I saw him on the dance floor and nothing had changed.

Twins 5-10 in 1-run games for the season.

Plus….. his brain is compromised.

Send him back down

He has almost caught up (DOWN) to Outman.

The very audible, Let's Go Royals chant, was icing on the cake.

How many have they lost in the eight or nineth inning, sad.

[thelanges5]

Batters 0-4 w/risp and only 4 hits. 5 LOB

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

There is no reason for not letting Gomez get the 9th. Shelton has been pretty good this season but going with Orze was a major fail.

He did not face any Big League pitchers on rehab, or he would have had a AAA golden sombrero.

Damn analytics. Managers are afraid to trust their gut anymore 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

A contending team usually has a bullpen, solid defense and clutch hitting. An FYI for T.Pohlad.

5 blown saves and relievers have 12 losses on the season.

Lewis’s ceiling is AAA

Outman was like Gallo, good glove, no bat any more; Lewis is like Sano, no glove, no bat.

Great pitch - for a batter. High center cut no movement meat in the zone at 94. Great pitch to homer on! Like the pitch that Arcia swung at (except more center cut) instead of watched.  AT LEAST GO DOWN SWINGING!

I'm shocked they are that good.
