37,5...I can hit that speed at 70 years old

Right there with you….but it’s the 90 feet to first base that will do me in!

I’m sorry, but I don’t think he would do well against Buck’s Little League team.

It looks even worse when an Arizona position player enters, pitches at 37 mph and makes it through the inning well

[thelanges5]

Shouldn’t be so mad when they’re up by nine, but can we close this thing out, fellas?

You're right.  Lawrence would have all those poor kids crying and scared to go in the batter's box since he would be beaning those poor kids with all those bad 90 mph splitters.

Twins signed him ,   cant blame Lawrence ,  -- ?  who wouldnt take a few weeks of the  Show with all the Perks ,   nah fellas   this is what dumpster diving gets us ,   needs to change 

He sucked badly in Puttsburgh, so  what Scout in Twins organization would have  watched any of that film, and said yeah we should claim this guy because he has a funky side arm delivery and we can use him.  That and at 31 he isn't likely getting  better command. Who cares if it is funky when even the catcher doesn't know where the ball will end up. Lawrence isn't dumpster diving, he is drinking and driving level by a pro scout, or smoking weed delusional. 

[Linus]

This is getting ridiculous.

I’m starting to think some bribery was involved.

[jaimedude]

Maybe Royce Lewis will collect his first hit tonight. Of this game.  LoL

[S Bart]

intentional walk?

[S Bart]

Sign Up Vargas for the Twins bullpen

[thelanges5]

Their position player out pitched our bullpen. Joke 🤮

[Linus]

This is particularly stupid. Guy is out there screwing around. 

[thelanges5]

Gómez? RU Fing kidding?!?

Now Arizona will put in some wannabe or has-been pitcher and the Twins will not get another hit.

Welp. 

[Western SD Fan]

I hate bringing out someone you trust in high-leverage situations here.  He gives up a couple of runs and kills his mojo when we actually need him the next time.

[Blyleven2011]

Not pretty at all when you face a position player and don't score

I guess to shake the rust off, since he hasn't pitched since Monday?

At least he could find the strike zone.  He must have watched Dora the Explorer.

[Church of Kreidler]

Well, on that note, I will be fleeing to Canada to avoid my sudden debt to the Pohlad’s.

What a game! Absolutely worth staying up late for! Now let’s rinse and repeat tomorrow!

Too bad he didn’t at the end of the half. Turned the game around. It was going to be a possible rout at that point. I cried, I was 12. 09 had the better chance to win it all but 98 was a worse loss

So much pain for so many years...I could have cried in '67 when the Twins lost the last two games of the season in Boston to finish one game behind them for the A.L. crown. Kitty popped something in his arm in the first game or we might have won it...and the beat goes on.

I have been a Twins and Vikings fan all my life. My disappointments/heartbreaks with the Vikings have far exceeded mine with the Twins. They go back prior to Tarkenton's days. At least the Twins can bring the state championships (2).

The Vikings were the 1970 NFL champions...that's something-eh?

Not only that but they used a position player for 2 innings.

Lawrence has to be one of the bottom five all time pitchers to ever wear a Twins uniform. He is awful. No free jerseys or gloves either, send him home on a commercial flight. Nothing redeeming about any of his appearances. Kick him out of the team hotel. 

And no buffet after the game!

[howeda7]

We released SWR so we could keep Justin Lawrence. LOL.

Since when are the Twins players allowed to play really small ball?

The announcers talk about golf frequently enough, it sounds acceptable...

Reading up on Sundays opponent..
