Didn't see the beginning of the game.

Please tell me that Jon Jay is only batting 4th because he replaced and injured player.

So if one foot is on the batter's box line it's not considered in the box?

Can't win em all.
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

Now that the road trip hangover is out of the way, they can hopefully KO the immaculate Reynaldo Lopez by the end of the 5th tomorrow.

Any word on if he was walking around funny the rest of the game with Abreu's dick lodged in his ass?

Polanco has a free double hitting the other way. And hits it right at second.

Just think... He actually had trade value last year and we wouldn't trade him. :(

Ok. Walkoff time for Miguel.

This is too much like when we kept losing a bunch and it was the bullpen giving up 1 or 2 late runs that kept us justness our of reach over and over again. We gave up 1 in the 7th and 8th...and are down 2...

Ugly loss to a garbage team.

I get they can't win them all but this run of allegedly easy games is only helpful if they win a vast majority of them.

This was not a good way to get it started.

Total team effort. Huge mistake by Gibson, terrible at-bats with men on base and a manager who flat-out refuses to show any emotion or stand up for his players.

I mean, I'm glad that they made it interesting at the end but this team has to lead MLB history for threatening blown saves to the opposition and doing just enough to not get the job done.

Giolito to pitch the series finale.

Feels like a sweep to essentially cancel out the 4 game sweep against the Rangers.

I’m guaranteeing a win tomorrow barring Pineda royally fucking up. We’ll hit at least two bombs off the starter.

That's pretty bold considering what happened tonight.

-235 and the Sox won pretty convincingly.

Much more convincingly than the final score would lead your to believe.

I can already hear the excuse computer booting up to rehash the same shit the FSN crew spewed all night.....

"well, Lopez actually has pitched pretty well in his last X amount of starts....."

"yeah Anthony, just not much a team can do when they run into a buzzsaw like Lopez"............

Nevermind the guy fucking sucks.

Nova is actually a real MLB pitcher and is on fire. Just came of a complete game 1 run showing against the Astros (and 8 shutout innings against the Tigers the game before). The dude tomorrow has a 1.5 whip and 25 hrs against. We have Pineda instead of Gibson

Can Twins out fielders hit the cut off at least once a night so runners can't advance another base to get guys in scoring position? Jesus fuck, When they threw with no chance of getting the runner at home, if they hit the cut off guy which was the shortstop, the runners dead at 3rd. Inning over.

bad loss. gibson is very good except when he absolutely had to be-with runners in scoring position and two outs. they're losing his starts and that's been an issue in the last two of them. nova was in trouble in the first and got out of it without more runs being scored because of eddie scorching a ball at 102 mph and hitting into a DP. bad luck there-and if that goes for a hit i think the twins win. it didn't and they lost.

indians catch a break on their off-day and we're at the same place we were when they came into target field 12 days ago. turn the paige and focus in on tonight's game and see what happens. that's all you can do now.

Tuesday 7:10 p.m. CT
Michael Pineda (8-5, 4.20 ERA) vs. Reynaldo Lopez (8-5, 4.20 ERA)
The Twins have had issues with their starting pitching lately, but Michael Pineda has not been part of that problem. Although he’s had issues with his help, Pineda has posted a 4-2 with a 3.14 ERA in his last 11 starts. The Twins are 8-3 in those games and his consistency has been there throughout the season allowing three or fewer runs in 15 of his past 16 starts.

Reynaldo Lopez has been terrific for the White Sox, but his last start against the Los Angeles Angels didn’t follow that pattern. After posting a 2.13 ERA in his previous six starts, the right-hander allowed five runs in 5 1/3 innings against the Halos. Lopez had similar results in his previous start against the Twins as Minnesota tagged him for eight runs in 3 2/3 innings in a win on May 24.

Outside of that start, the Twins haven’t had too much success against Lopez in his career as he’s allowed 10 earned runs in 26 2/3 innings against Minnesota. Meanwhile, Chicago’s Ryan Goins has had great success against Pineda, going 6-for-14 (.429) with three doubles and an RBI lifetime.

I have a feeling it will be more because the Twins offense goes limp dick against this scrub.

Either way, Twins lose and the Sox broom them tomorrow.
