Neither Larnach or Keaschall was running anywhere close to full speed on that fly ball.

4th straight game being down 2-0 in the first inning really blows 

Starting pitchers NOT doing their jobs.

This falling behind in the 1st inning b.s. is getting real old.

Seems like the repeat of last week. I'm sure we have a ninth inning comeback coming lol.

Let's do it earlier..pretty please

Joe Ryan is broken, they will have given up all that prospect capital and still collapse down the stretch with him throwing like this.

[Vanimal46]

How do you compensate a player who is a Cy Young candidate the 1st half of the season and a borderline #5 pitcher when the season matters?

We get Cameron again too! Bet they leave him in longer.

Would be real cool if we could have a game where the opposing team doesn’t score in the first - just a thought!

And we would actually score in the first. Especially against Dobnak.

Like a #3 starter, but actually have 2-3 pitchers ahead of him in the pecking order

Fortunately they didn't give up that much at all, but no hitting help.

Well not today LOL. 

And I wouldn't bet against it happening tomorrow, too.

Why does this happen literally every year after the All Star break? 

His body starts breaking down after 4 months. We need to build in a 3 week break around all star break. 1 star on each side. Let him work out, refresh and get back to it.

A 22 pitch, 2 run, first inning for Ryan.....ahead of Saturday and Sundays pace...

All that prospect capital? Seriously?

By fly ball do you mean 103 mph line shot?

A #3 starter doesn’t request 7/$210 million contracts like Dan Hayes reported him wanting in 2025. 

[Patzky]

Royce has been a bright spot lately.

[HarmonK03]

Way to get it started Royce!

 

[S Bart]

Okay.  Let's talking about hitting...

[David HK]

Central time games start at 7 am at my house. Ah, morning coffee and the Twins!

In the time it took to grind some beans, we're already behind. This is gonna be another one of those Joe Blows games again, ain't it? Might as well take the dog outside for a 💩.

[Patzky]

The Lee doldrums continue.

The opportunity cost of not trading Ryan. Twice…so far.

[thelanges5]

Playing worse against these guys than the Mariners. Cmon Twins!

[Twinsfan33]

Nothing against Dobnak - I hope he does well, but I don't know that I could stomach losing to him twice.

Or, in our case, the lack thereof. 

[S Bart]

Is Dobnak really that good ???
