Yankees 4, Twins 0: Pablo Day Empty
Twins_Fan_in_NJ replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I think people need to keep proper perspective. The Twins just don't match-up well with the Yankees. Never have and for at the least time being, still don't. If these last two games happened against someone like the White Sox or Tigers, then I'd agree, there's some cause for concern. -
Tyner really provided a spark for that run in 2006. Was one of the faces of the 'piranha' squad.
-
There's just nothing to take away from this series, IMHO. It sucks but it is what it is. Judge is on fire. The Twins are in their own heads at both the plate and in the field. Try to win today and go to Cleveland, which is far more of a measuring stick.
-
20 years worth of futility.
-
Pitching has held up thus far. Bats are in a coma.
-
Twins play listless and scared against this team. Lewis is anything but that. So, yeah, I'd like to see him out there when the Twins go to the Bronx. Doesn't need to work miracles. Just give a shot in the arm.
-
No, but his personality and enthusiasm would help.
-
Last year's series won was an obvious outlier. Twins play scared against the Yankees. This is the kind of game where you need Royce Lewis.
-
I really dislike the Yankees.
-
Byron can't get back soon enough.

Self inflicted wounds are the worst...
-
Did I mention that I can't stand the Yankees...

Martin goes to show that it takes more than a good athlete to play the outfield.

I don't really know how Cleveland is winning games. Their rotation is iffy, the bullpen has a heavy workload and the line-up is very dependent on J. Naylor and Ramirez. I think their ceiling is a .500 team. Time will tell.
-
Yup, no lies told.
-
Instead of trusting analytics, Rocco needs to trust his players. Kepler, Larnach, Julien should have been in the lineup last night. Would it have made a difference? No one knows, but give yourself a puncher's chance.

The game turned on misplays and mental mistakes in the field - and the bats went ice cold - essentially, last night was a carbon copy of what the Twins have done against the Yankees more or less for the last 20+ years. I'm not going to take too much from it.

The Twins were playing their worst baseball - in years - when they played the Dodgers and Orioles. They are better teams, but I think if they played them now, the Twins would be far more competitive. Even last night, if Buxton is in centerfield, the game looks dramatically different.

Twins served this one up on a platter.
-
Yeah, a Rocco special.
-
Twins just play scared against the Yankees.
-
Nicely done, Jackson.

Jackson!

Way more!

Just not our night...
