I stopped watching halfway through. Has the broadcast crew dug deeper into yesterday’s fiasco on the basepath?

Over the top anger. 

At the very least, we found the 1 fan with the highest standards possible of a baseball team. I’m not sure if the Dodgers are a fit for them. They lose games too.

Don’t you know his career numbers? Release this guy tomorrow /s 

If I wouldn’t be stuck with it for a month, might consider changing the username to DFA Kreidler just for the giggles.

If he ever gets DFAed it should be changed to "Bring Back Kreidler"

I hate to bring this up, but Culpepper is a RH batter.  Although I think Kreidler, even RH, would be the better player than Gray.  You know how much the Twins LOVE their platoon splits.

We keep giving you better ones but you aren't reading.

This discussion began with the point that Kreidler would be wanted by any team playing for a World Series.  That is very much a matter of opinion.  And in my opinion a bad take.

The facts are he had a .133 batting average coming into the season and there weren't a lot of teams looking for his services.  The Twins didn't even think he could be their utility player coming out of spring training, he was beat out by Tristan Gray.  He is the best defensive shortstop on this team currently and has had a good month.

But to extrapolate that into thinking he is a top tier utility player that any team would want is rose colored glasses thinking in my opinion.  If he remains as the utility player for this year,  I am fine with that, but I think the bar should be raised for that position.

Load up the bags and head to Cleve. Hope they play better there than they did in Chi.

A very tough series, but for all the moaning and groaning, sure glad I spent it with you losers! 🧡

Wait… does that mean I’m a loser, too…?

[RpR]

I wonder why the Twins bad bullpen shutout the Cubs but the starter should be in AAA.

This proves even more that Matthews isn't an MLB pitcher

Mirror, Mirror on the wall.  Who is the biggest loser of them all? 😉

[wesnewy]

hopefully we don't take this series into the Cleveland one. They have been our toughest team to beat over the last couple of seasons, and we NEED to keep winning most of these series.

Hm, maybe a little verbose for a screen name.

Well, that is kinda like telling people about a girlfriend that rides a moped. Some things no need to bring up 😇

I agree Matthews sucks ass. 

I don't think he would have made it so many innings in the bigs if he inhaled on anus.

Yes, because it seems like every time we do start them, the opposing manager obliges by penciling in a right-handed starting pitcher for us.

And The Miz really isn’t that good. It just seems the games he pitches the other teams decide not to get any hits.

I’m sorry, but if you thought this was going to be a World Series year, I don’t think I’m the only delusional one.
