Bats are afraid.

[weimy froob]

three hits.

[SKOLMN]

Quickly losing interest in this team. For us to win the division we need to win games where our starting pitching outside of Lopez and Ryan only gives up 3 runs because that’s not going to happen often

[D_H]

I hate to say this because I’ve been a diehard fan my entire life. My dad was as well / but I almost hope we only win 60 games and only about 7000 people show up in July. What ownership did after we finally won a playoff series last year is just criminal. What a rotten message to send the fans. Sickening!!

Hang in there buddy...remember, it's a marathon not a sprint. That being said, counting on Ober, Verland, and Paddock to hold down the 3,4,5 spots is ridiculous.....thanks Pohlad.

[weimy froob]

the team has hit only one home run--and that was by a guy that might not play again until june.

In his first AB of the season.


Sheeeesh!

[The Real Ted]

Paddack was very lucky to get out of that.

If he keeps this up the bullpen will be needed by the 4th inning.

[weimy froob]

delayed steal--then jeffers can't catch the foul bunt. two plays that could've been made--but weren't.

[weimy froob]

twins pitchers 3, 4 and 5 need to start pitching ahead of the count. too many 2-1 and 3-2 counts. 1-0 milwaukee.

[weimy froob]

delayed steal has now been ruled a wild pitch. julien scuffling right now.

[LwnmwrMan222]

Bases loaded, 2 out. New pitcher... Can the Twins blow this open?

[LwnmwrMan222]

Margot with the pinch hit duties for Julien

[boxter432]

not quite a homer lol, but on the board
edit nevermind, and now its 2-0.

[LwnmwrMan222]

Margot tried to bunt, bases loaded and is called out on a challenge to end the inning.

Yay.

[weimy froob]

call overturned. rocco didn't push the right button.

[The Real Ted]

I was waiting for Margot to strike out… and then I was going to bitch about pinch hitting for their best hitter.

[LwnmwrMan222]

Or not.

[LwnmwrMan222]

This team is just pathetic at the plate. Still.

[weimy froob]

i can't stand rocco pinch-hitting for julien. especially that early in the game. now it's 2-0. i did think that was a tie goes to the runner.

[The Real Ted]

OK… now I’ll bitch….

Why the fuck did he pinch hit for Julian?

He’s the only guy on the roster you can count on to swing at strikes, not swing at pitches 5 inches out of the strike zone…

And in general, have a good at bat.

Looked to me like the ball was there ever so quickly then Margot was.

But, it was so close that he should have stayed safe.

Only real answer is that Julian is not a good enough bunter apparently.

Margot should sit 3 games simply for trying to bunt there.

And if the bench called for the bunt there, they should be suspended 3 weeks.

And if they called for the bunt there, because that's the level of ability they have in players, well then this season is just over.

[weimy froob]

unproductive AB from kepler.

[weimy froob]

bases loaded. one out.

[boxter432]

needed more runs there

[weimy froob]

twins still can't get the big hit. at least they scored a run--but that pitcher was struggling and they couldn't get more out of that inning. then they give up a HR.

[weimy froob]

walks aren't doing much haunting today. six of them so far for the twins today. margot batting for julien? yeah, right. nice button pushed rocco.
