This is an AWFUL performance from Lopez. One bad pitch after another. Very disappointing. -
Wow. Per Perkins, the Rangers have 146 more PAs with RISP than the Twins...and 9 fewer Ks.
-
Has Correa gotten a 2 out RBI hit this year?
-
Better hope the current Mrs IT doesn't lurk the game thread
-
I said the same yesterday. I always hate seeing good teams on losing streaks.
-
Sigh. Some shi**y pitching. Can't finish anyone off.
-
Tight zone tonight
-
Must be fun watching a lineup this good every night.

Max Kepler isn't good at anything anymore

? The math doesn't work. -
Luplow hitting 3rd again. That should embarrass the organization.
-
The Angels had him in as DH for the second game AFTER the diagnosis. Seems pretty sketchy, no? Anywhoo, what a shame.
-
So 3 guys who have never been relievers, never warmed up in less than 45 minutes, and at least one of which will be a starter past the 1st round? Terrific plan.

Gonna wager you didn't watch yesterday's game.

They're also at their highest payroll ever. But most of the targets they'd have been after just don't cost much. And FTR, average attendance is actually up around 1700 per game over last year. Not at 2019 levels, but then recovering from 2020 has been slow for most every team. Dunno, but your thought is at least worth considering.

How Did the Buxton Process Go So Horribly Wrong?
USAFChief replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I don't think everyone agreed. At least not with the second part. I've never understood how he could be healthy enough to run the bases but not healthy enough to run the outfield. That just doesn't seem perfectly reasonable to me. -
Just another example of new and "analytical" doesn't equal useful or insightful. Check out xBA for another example. Duran wasn't 5 times more responsible for that loss than any other player. He didn't even give up an earned run. In fact, I wonder if that's not an error. It happened previously this year.

I think the season turned with Seattle in town. 9-2 coming out of the AS Game, rare successful west coast road trip completed, one W vs Seattle in the books, up 6-2 on Seattle going into the top of the 8th...and Jovanni Moran happens. Four batters later it's tied. All the good vibes, gone. Lose that game followed by 4 more in a row and back in the ****. Almost entirely due to the bullpen, too.
-
Some piss poor play, some piss poor managing, some piss poor GMing, with Ortega not available today and a replacement an hour plane ride away. No bullpen tomorrow, with Texas in town.
-
I'd rather they had won 6 in a row.
-
Willy Adames. .212/.295/.393 on the season, and we can't get him out. One bad pitch after another.
-
C'mon, Lewis. Gotta be better than that 1-0 swing. Terrible.
-
But the ultimate issue is...there's too few bullpen options. Which should have been addressed last winter, and readdressed at the deadline.
-
Winder, I guess. Prefer that to Winder in the 10th with a runner on 2nd to start. And at this point I KNOW for a fact I have to get through the 10th, at least, to win the game.
-
I agree with this. I don't use Duran until the 10th here.
-
I think they're pretty much EXACTLY a .500 team. They started 10-4. Since then? 55-57.
