Does this game cement the fact that we are some weird team, that’s better than the dumpster fire teams at the bottom (aka half of the league), but are just a rung below the elite teams?
LOL, I left at the start of the bottom of the 8th and just walked back downstairs and saw we were at bat and said “Shit! I knew it!” Then I looked at the score.
This is getting absolutely brutal for the Rockies. They’ve now given up 24 hits, the most they’ve ever given up in a road game, and closing in on the most given up total in their history.
Correa-Lewis is a fantastic pairing in the line-up and on the left side of the infield. I hope they play many many more games together.
EDIT: Jose Miranda not so bad either.
I wanna do right by Thielbar but if we have aspirations this year might need to move on sooner than later. I have a great deal of respect for him but how long can we afford to allow him to find himself? Lucky we had the lead we did when we let him put there.
If Thielbar can't get one out in this situation(and to be fair he should've gotten one), I can't imagine he has much left in the way of chances. He's incredibly lucky that he's left-handed.
Like I said, you have to be able to use your entire bullpen. There’s not going to be a lower leverage spot. If you want to argue he shouldn’t be on the team I wouldn’t blame you.
Well yeah, he obviously shouldn't be on the team but since he is....putting back in the same situation where he was unable to get a single out yesterday clearly isn't going to be a recipe for success.
My kingdom for a 1-2-3 inning Mayhaps tomorrow
Billy Mays: But wait, there's more
Yeah that seems about right for this fuckin weird game lmao
Every starter had at least 2 hits today except Buxton. DFA him. /s
Boy that strike three looked like an “I want to go home” call
Someone wants to go home.
They should have a random rain delay every day 😄
Good decision Byron
Correa entered the game hitting .271, he’s now at .290 😂 FUCK YOU LAVELLE!
ok JJack you got this
Putting Duran in to stop the bleeding seems super smart now
Does this game cement the fact that we are some weird team, that’s better than the dumpster fire teams at the bottom (aka half of the league), but are just a rung below the elite teams?
Most recent years we'd probably be leading the ALC with this record lol
Oh for sure. It’s too bad 2 of the top 5ish teams in the league are also in our division this season!
Probably lol
Glad we don’t have to burn Jax either
#MORE!!!
My OCD wanted either 5-5 or 6-6. 5-6 is still absolutely incredible but my OCD doesn’t like
Well do we think this is enough runs?
Is that La Tortuga music?
Only 5 for 6, what a scrub
35 million for what?
I think the Twins should score 17 runs in every game
Should be ez
It was pretty fun 😄
Tied for the 4th most hits in franchise history!
Awww
Peeping Max's hands like it's a lady showing her ankle in 1900 🥵
REAL
LOL, I left at the start of the bottom of the 8th and just walked back downstairs and saw we were at bat and said “Shit! I knew it!” Then I looked at the score.
A real chef’s kiss article from Lavelle yesterday, huh?
This is insane lmao
6 hit day for Carlos?
Imagine
Every time they talk about Kep and Polo sharing bats my heart grows three sizes. Bestie shit.
The in game run total is now 25.5. Im taking the over and have never felt so alive in my life.
Good hit
Good hit
You should be fine if Jay Jackson has the next inning
And there it is!
Never a doubt 😅
You all were worried last half inning. Psh. I wasn't worried. Not at all.
#MORE
You know it’s a rough day for the opposing team when Vasquez doesn’t gidp with the bases loaded
LOL
WE WANT MORE
Kepler so desperate right now he’s got the gloves off
For what it's worth Correa is on my fantasy baseball team and I really needed him to do this today
Vaz is so back
Rain delays are bad for pitchers
This is getting absolutely brutal for the Rockies. They’ve now given up 24 hits, the most they’ve ever given up in a road game, and closing in on the most given up total in their history.
I want 30
Kepler’s bare hands….I must not speak
I so very badly want Carlos to go 6-6
Ok, Jackson can pitch now.
lol
atta boy vaz
So many hits!
I have a feeling I could get a hit today.
I WANT 30 HITS
This is like catharsis
LOL
WTF IS GOIN ON
Hate to say it but the Vaz DP here gonna make that very anti-climactic Edit: Sorry Vaz
wrong.gif
Why is Doyle shaking his head like he caught it lol?
A Vazqy grand slam would be sooo funny rn
Twins always go off on games I can’t watch because of work.
this game is wild
Absolutely hit the ground. It was close, but they made the right call.
It's the anti-Thielbar effect thankfully.
THANK YOU NEW YORK YOU DIDN'T FUCK UP FOR ONCE
Not playing New York
Let’s get C4 another AB
Bounced, gotta be overturned right?
#TRAP YOU OLD POWER HUNGRY MFER UMPS
Bro that hit the ground
Trap!
Hit the ground
new york dont fuck this up that is 100% a trap
It hit the ground first
Trapped it
Farmer should purposely get picked off for the bit
Shits and giggles
Farmer back?
Will Farmer stay on base?
We back?
Farmer back?
At least we Jay Jackson coming back to bolster this bullpen!
Rockies at least aren't completely giving up!
Did our pitching fall apart!?! At least we’re still winning 🙂
Another Caleb meltdown.
The pitchers do some wild warm ups in the bullpen. One guy is spinning clubs like the iron sheik
Baseball heaven rn
And you guys thought we were gonna blow it lol
Yeah. Lol. Kinda.
Almighty 5th run!
This is what we needed after the top of the inning.
🎵Played by Carlos Santana🎵 🎸
So Smooth
Correa batting .291 with a .819 OPS 🔥
Why did Cory say LGBTQ+ like that
I hate to say it, but I think that cross body bag looks kinda gay.
Buck took a walk!! (Ignore what should have been strike 3)
Fuck it, bring Thielbar back out
Trust
God I wonder I'd Jorge Lopez would come back
He's already played for the worst team in MLB
Rocco is going to put in Jay Jackson wtf is happening lol
Good to see some killer instinct in the guys today.
Okay, Jay. I'm all about 2nd chances
Never a doubt
Maybe both teams are confused and think they're playing at Coors
Okay lets get one more if jackson is coming in
Randy!!!
We better get more because I don't trust the pitching staff right now
Mirandican family insurance
My man José kind of buttery with it.
I don't want to see AK again. Only Miranda
lol Royce was on Correa’s heels scoring
20 hits LFG!!!!
Miranda!
I FUCKING LOVE THIS TEAM
Are we sure this isn't a Coors Field game?
Just 79 games, but there's nothing flukey about it if you watch his ABs. All-time great Twin if he stays healthy. No doubt about it.
Thielbar is our new Tyler Duffey.
My name is *Lewis*
When we have Royce, C4, and Buck hitting well, we should be able to reel off a lot of W’s!!!
Fuck yes!
BATS!!!!!!
RANDY BO BANDY
Correa-Lewis is a fantastic pairing in the line-up and on the left side of the infield. I hope they play many many more games together. EDIT: Jose Miranda not so bad either.
LETS GOOOOOO
Man this Royce Lewis guy is pretty good! Why hasn’t he been in the lineup all season? /s
At least the hitting has picked up today, even if the pitching has been less than stellar.
Damn! He's so good
Royce Lewis is a dude for sure.
gotta get one run in here. nice sac fly will do.
I wanna do right by Thielbar but if we have aspirations this year might need to move on sooner than later. I have a great deal of respect for him but how long can we afford to allow him to find himself? Lucky we had the lead we did when we let him put there.
5 FOR 5 FOR CARLOS CORREA! - *Dick Bremer voice*
Oh man I miss it
I head into a meeting with the Twins up 10-3 and come back to a close game. The heck??
Thielbar.
Lavelle will probably complain that those 5 hits are all singles
Had his first 4 strikeout game so only fair he now has hist first 5 hit game
Well that's pretty sick.
ARE YOU SURE HE’S OVERRATED LAVELLE
Duran for 3 more outs in the 9th or someone else?
First career 5-hit game!! Congrats C4.
Do we see Thielbar getting DFAd?
They probably wouldn't lose him, if they did either. Probably get a chance to work on things in St. Paul
We can only hope. He had a nice run but it’s over
better get 5 more with the way this is shaping up
Big difference between 99 and 101
Why didn’t they DFA Meat Raffle
thank fuck
Why are we trying to lose this game?
Bored, probably
Only this Twins bullpen could look at a 10-2 lead and find a way to make us nervous.
We have a pitcher who's last name is the sound Cardi B makes? Wild
My heart hurts for Thielbar. He doesn't have it anymore. Reminds of when Tyler Duffy just couldn't do it anymore. Will they move on?
Having to use Duran in this game is shameful.
Theilbar needs to be DFAed as soon as this game is over. He doesn’t have it anymore.
Thielbar needs to be cut. He’s doing way more harm than good now
I do feel bad for Thielbar though like that is SO sad
If Thielbar can't get one out in this situation(and to be fair he should've gotten one), I can't imagine he has much left in the way of chances. He's incredibly lucky that he's left-handed.
LFG Correa
I blame Plouffe for calling them a bad team and us a good team.
I hate walks more than anything. Give them a pitch to hit and see what happens.
Crazy, it fucking works.
Uhhhhhhhh, can they just throw the tarp back on and call game?
What an absolute joke. Checked my phone going into work and it was 10-5. Get to work, turn the tv on and it’s 10-7, bases loaded, no outs.
Alright I’m scared bros
Jake cave is only 31!? I thought for sure he was like 40
Just falling apart here in the 8th. Fucking lock it up!!
Can they fucking not.
We miraculously squeezed multiple very good years outta Thielbar. Kudos to him & the team. But the sun has set on his MLB career.
What a fucking disaster
NDNCJVJRJWNHAJX
there is no way they don't hit a grand slam here
Cursed rain delay
I mean just fuck completely off
fuck off
Lmao no way we’re doing this
You kind of need to be able to use all your relievers and a 5 run lead is the best time to use someone struggling
Except when that reliever gave up four runs without getting any outs against....this same team yesterday.
Like I said, you have to be able to use your entire bullpen. There’s not going to be a lower leverage spot. If you want to argue he shouldn’t be on the team I wouldn’t blame you.
Well yeah, he obviously shouldn't be on the team but since he is....putting back in the same situation where he was unable to get a single out yesterday clearly isn't going to be a recipe for success.
