He can only play the guys he's given. 

Like leaving Bell in the game at 1b then 2b  with options to pinch run , it was last call , Jackson or gray could of and should of been in  running for Bell ,   you mean he can only use who again ?  That blown opportunity yesterday will be the downfall of this years team ,  Thanx Derek

This game is a wash. Time to forget it and move on to next series.

I stated a few days ago in another article before games resumed that the twins would win 1 game against cubbies  , if we don't win 3 in Cleveland we are sunk ...

Today is a bad game , see you during a Cleveland series , I'm out of here , can't give these opponents extra outs , runs and bases  ...

Cubs are quite a bit better than Cleveland but not as good as NY. Regression to the mean

Hardly an Alcala moment. If PCA catches it like he's supposed to, we would have had a better chance ☺️

If we are still TBD on a starter for Tuesday, 1 of Adams, Rojas, or Peredes will get optioned for a “fresh arm” I’d bet.

Sometimes it's also just not your series really looking forward to getting back soon.

Kevin Butler kick is good

Ironic coming from Kreidler's only stan

You’re right - I’d have so much more fun as a Twins fan if I hated every single player and thought every game was a loss before the first pitch.

[Recognize]

Time to watch something else

not like the world cup final is going on or anything lol

[Patzky]

I predict a Wallner solo shot. Oh yeah.. forgot.

It's interesting to me.  Being a scout may be harder than we think.  Zebby is a huge guy, blazing heat, good off speed stuff.  Then you have joe ryan or Radke, Greg Maddux, etc whose 'stuff' isn't remotely close.  I'm curious what separates the greats......as i know folks on  forum usually have all the answers :)

A Bell garbage time solo shot can play the part.

[Hubie29]

And then people think we can just trade Ryan, Lopez and such because we have such a strong pipeline with Matthews, Festa, Abel (insert any garbage pitcher here), and we will be fine. It would be really foolish.

I just always wonder with a pitcher like Zebby it seems like its always the command of the secondary pitches

I suppose ignorance and delusion are a fun state to be in for some people. I would rather see a world series 

[wesnewy]

I wish we never let Sonny Gray walk 😭😭 He was such a catalyst in our rotation

Hardly an Alcala moment.-  agree ,  all it did was show the world how inept Twins are  at taking advantage of a mistake by making a much bigger mistake -

a world series has nothing to do with someones favorite player

I'm sure it made the video lowlights.

A smart organization certainly trades them...

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.
