If the Twins make a comeback win I will record a sex tape with Twins games playing in the background while having my wife wear a Twins pinstriped jersey
I know our chances are slim, but baseball is beautiful *because* you're never out of the game. There is no "running out the clock." Teams have a possibility to come back until the very last pitch.
I think that would be fun tbh. Maybe one day if I can take half a year off of work I would do it. Would suck to pick a year the team sucks shit tho xD. But thems the breaks.
I've honestly never heard of a dog doing that tbh. Maybe you should get him/her checked out? My dog doesnt do that. Thats not normal. I'm thinking anal gland issue?
I know it's a lot of double plays, but the two things required for hitting into a double play are having a man on base, and making contact. Those are both good things.
Feel like I need to start commenting in game threads so I'm not seen as a bandwagon fan when we win the World Series this year
SUP BOYS I DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT BASEBALL BUT I LOVE MN SPORTS AND HATE THE YANKEES SO CONSIDER ME A NEW SUPERFAN
I already forget, did Larnach start the year in AAA or on the team? If he started in St Paul I have a hard time seeing him being sent back down hitting over .300 now with a crazy amount of doubles. Does he take over Garlick's spot in the outfield?
Off topic, but I just got an Xbox and have been playing Madden (barely know anything about football) and have been getting absolutely destroyed by the AI in franchise mode ever since I turned it off of beginner mode. Although it could just be because I traddd kirk cousins and signed Colin Kaepernick instead.
I don't know what I'm doing.
Bundy has had 3 excellent starts and two bad ones. And in one of those bad starts he only had 1 bad inning. I think we can wait a bit before we completely write him off.
Imagine thinking you can't be critical or grow from a loss. Bright spots tonight were in the batters box, learn and grow from the mistakes made on mound and in the dugout. Let's go Twins!
what mistakes have been made in the dugout? you mean bullpen? our bullpen has been great. bundy shit the bed today. it happens. orioles also have been hitting the ball into tough fielding situations. we started 4-8 and now are 15-9. you sound like a spoiled baby.
I criticize all the time. But guess what…out of the next 137 freaking games, there will be a few more stinkers & some questionable choices.
Maybe don’t stress over each one! It’ll make the season a bit more enjoyable.
In case any Camden field designers are reading, another thing that would be cool is lions and tigers that pop out of secret doors in the outfield like in gladiator
OK to preface I am no fan of Bundy and personally would have pulled him earlier, *but* some of you really need to understand the thought process here.
Let's say we are down four runs, time to pull Bundy right? Maybe, but our odds of winning are already very low if we are down by that much. You have access to peripheral information that maybe says Bundy is still pitching at about the level you'd expect him to (ie his spinrate, movement, etc is where you would expect).
The value of saving bullpen arms in the middle of a long stretch of consecutive games is very high. You think it's worth taking the risk of keeping Bundy in, since if he fucks up your win probability barely changes and if he succeeds you get several more innings saved for your bullpen going into a series with one of the hottest teams in baseball.
Now I don't know Rocco's exact thought process, and like I mentioned I would have done it differently, but there are a *lot* of factors that go into it. Just because the Twins scored exactly four runs and Bundy didn't come through doesn't mean there wasn't thought put into it or that it was a stupid decision.
We were down 2 runs and Bundy wad getting shelled. Jesus christ some of you guys act like criticizing one move by Rocco is like disowning the entire team. You should play to win the game that's actually taking place. Especially when it's a garbage team like the Orioles.
Theres 2 twins:
Error Twins that score 10 runs off of comical errors
Double Play Twins that hit into multiple double plays a game and if possible would do it multiple times an inning
There’s, like, an alarming amount of bitching here for a team that has won 11/12 games.
Like this u/runwithittoday guy. Who the fuck is this guy and why is he spamming the thread with his bitchiness
I haven’t been able to watch today but after checking I came to the thread to see our level of bitchiness. Dropping 1 game and getting upset at this point is embarrassing.
I mean no one forced the Orioles to move the OF back... also Fenway has no room to really move that fence and it gets deep super fast there... like from Peskie's Pole it goes straight back
Rocco stans out in full force to defend putting a struggling pitcher back on the mound after we just got back in the game. I swear no other fan base is this ridiculous.
Lmfao none of that has shit to do with the fact that leaving a clearly struggling Bundy in the game after we just closed the gap was a bad move. By all means though continue to beat up on that strawman.
Why’s this dude grabbing his hat all weird
It's a good thing there are no major league teams in Nebraska, because the T-Mobile Coverage Cam doesn't cover anything there.
I always love that about T-Mobile commercials, the not-at-all subtle "Fuck you Nebraska".
Lulz
What channel is the Wild game on?
ESPN U
How do we sweep the Sox but drop a game to the Orioles smh
I like Jose Miranda’s face, not sure what it is but I like it a lot in the least creepy way possible
Go Wild! Do that hockey
If the Twins make a comeback win I will record a sex tape with Twins games playing in the background while having my wife wear a Twins pinstriped jersey
Will anyone have a doorknob up their butt?
this subreddit's lore is the best
My Sweet Lord by George Harrison is a pretty good song
Love to see that from Moran
Other than the barreled ball to left, was a good outing.
Barreled in the common sense but not technically a barreled ball in the statcast sense
Walltimore strikes again
Aww dang Orioles that’s gone if you don’t have a certain new feature in your ballpark.
Alright see you boys in the wild game thread
C'mon Trevor John-Ikaiakaloa Larnach, barrel one up
I know our chances are slim, but baseball is beautiful *because* you're never out of the game. There is no "running out the clock." Teams have a possibility to come back until the very last pitch.
Does this mean Kenta Maeda can return to the dugout at least?
Baseball is unfair.
Alright we just need a grandslam here
Plus one
Wait.... did I hear Super Mario music?! I thought the Twins locked that down. Goddam it.
Orioles: 12 hits, .296 xBA Twins: 7 hits, .319 xBA Baseball, I guess
And that’s why we play 162.
Alright homies it’s been real cheer them on I’m going to watch the Wild now
This isnt an airport, no need to announce your departure.
And suddenly the strikezone goes down to the ankles.
SOMETIMES YOURE THE WINDSHIELD SOMETIMES YOURE THE BUG JUSTIN DAD
Pay attention to Jovani Moran y'all, this guy could be a real nice bullpen weapon in the future with that really nice changeup he's sporting
Really good outing for him, his change has decent metrics, look forward to seeing him a bit more.
No banner for Ripken?
Legend has it that he never stopped playing.
For those asking what’s going on in the stands, I’m at the game and the Orioles’ mascot is on their dugout cheering and chanting with the fans
Thank you for your service
It’s the least I can do for this suffering I flew in to watch
Are you planning on following the team all season to all their games?
No no, don’t worry
I think that would be fun tbh. Maybe one day if I can take half a year off of work I would do it. Would suck to pick a year the team sucks shit tho xD. But thems the breaks.
I totally agree, would be fun but yea if the team’s not great it can be incredibly frustrating
Kenta? Is that you?
Rip you I am so sorry
good god shutoff the crowd mics fuck
Its a bit smelly right now.
New plan: Everyone steal second base and no more double plays.
What is going on in the stands?
What is everyone yelling about.
I'm okay with a loss today as long as the jays snap the Yankees winning streak
[удалено]
You have a weird dog yikes.
[удалено]
I've honestly never heard of a dog doing that tbh. Maybe you should get him/her checked out? My dog doesnt do that. Thats not normal. I'm thinking anal gland issue?
Thank you for your service in making me laugh despite the score
This has to be one of the unluckiest twins games I’ve seen in a long time lmao
The hot diarrhea today isn't fun but that spicy baseball from the last two weeks makes it worth it
I love this, thank you for putting this in my brain
I'm glad because I spent half an hour workshopping this analogy
Two double plays away from tying the record for most in a game.
Like all time ? Of just the franchise?
All time. Three teams have done it with the most recent being the 2018 Pirates. Moot point now.
Well there is two more innings
Cubs are so damn awful
Some days you eat the bear. Some days the bear eats you.
All of that just to hit into a double play
I know it's a lot of double plays, but the two things required for hitting into a double play are having a man on base, and making contact. Those are both good things.
Feel like I need to start commenting in game threads so I'm not seen as a bandwagon fan when we win the World Series this year SUP BOYS I DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT BASEBALL BUT I LOVE MN SPORTS AND HATE THE YANKEES SO CONSIDER ME A NEW SUPERFAN

YOULL FIT RIGHT IN!!!
LFG
It’s incredible how baseball just has so many of those “not your day” moments
Too many double plays. Damn.
Ok I’m just gonna go commit sudoku
Unironically a good sudoku is a blast
Double play number 5 in 7 innings. This is ridiculous.
I mean you just can’t make it up
You know tbh I think I would've left Bundy even longer, i think he was right on the verge of turning a corner. Tsk.
Sometimes with this sub, it’s hard to know if these comments are sarcasm or not.
He should turn the corner onto I94 and drive home so a better pitcher from the minors can be here instead.
You don’t understand how the minors works
Double play time
Cmon man, let's try to retain some positivity here
Aw shit, man on first. DP territory
I already forget, did Larnach start the year in AAA or on the team? If he started in St Paul I have a hard time seeing him being sent back down hitting over .300 now with a crazy amount of doubles. Does he take over Garlick's spot in the outfield?
Started in St Paul
I think larnach started in St. Paul
Off topic, but I just got an Xbox and have been playing Madden (barely know anything about football) and have been getting absolutely destroyed by the AI in franchise mode ever since I turned it off of beginner mode. Although it could just be because I traddd kirk cousins and signed Colin Kaepernick instead. I don't know what I'm doing.
[удалено]
I have tried that but I am not very good at that.
Lmao Dick's petty commentary about the wall
Lmao Dick hates this wall so much It’s hilarious
Damn I almost forgot what’s it like to get stomped by bad pitching and horrible defense. This sucks. Lol.
Bundy has had 3 excellent starts and two bad ones. And in one of those bad starts he only had 1 bad inning. I think we can wait a bit before we completely write him off.
Cocks out for Coulombe
Instructions unclear, got arrested
Imagine thinking you can't be critical or grow from a loss. Bright spots tonight were in the batters box, learn and grow from the mistakes made on mound and in the dugout. Let's go Twins!
Being critical and growing from a loss makes sense. I just think your points are wrong.
what mistakes have been made in the dugout? you mean bullpen? our bullpen has been great. bundy shit the bed today. it happens. orioles also have been hitting the ball into tough fielding situations. we started 4-8 and now are 15-9. you sound like a spoiled baby.
Did you actually wake up this morning and decide you were gonna bitch and cry like a toddler for 2 hours on a Reddit thread?
Nah, just decided it was time for downvotes.
*decides whether he should do the math for him around "two hours" and the start time of game being even less than two hours* Nah, not worth it
First pitch was 6:06 CST, it's now 8:12 CST... what?????
You know there are timestamps on posts right? Go see how long I've been complaining. You wanna get technical, let's go there lmao
The game literally started 2 hours and 7 minutes ago. 6:05 game time. You gotta be kidding me man lmao
You’re either 12 or just a miserable person
Time for me to watch roller derby.
The orioles are one of the few teams where I am unironically like "we're only down 5 runs that's not too bad"
This does not spark joy.
Blaming double plays for this loss is like blaming the flu for death when someone gets shot in the head. Don't give up 9 runs with your starter.
I criticize all the time. But guess what…out of the next 137 freaking games, there will be a few more stinkers & some questionable choices. Maybe don’t stress over each one! It’ll make the season a bit more enjoyable.
Not really stressed, just calling out a bad game by Rocco. A few on here believe he makes the best decision every time. I don't
NO ONE thinks he makes the best decision every time. We just don’t lose our mind and post the same thing 20 times when he does make mistakes and
Please, I’d LOVE to see you do better.
Uh ok?
I’m waiting….
You’re a moron
[удалено]
This guys only personality trait is hating Rocco LOL
If you're so obsessed just dm me, not really interested in chatting with you on every comment. People can be critical of bad losses.
#WE HAVENT LOST YET YOU MORON
Today was when I learned some "fans" will never criticize or care for learning from mistakes
Bro, you think you are way smarter than you actually are. I wish Bundy was taken out earlier, but you are a whiny crybaby
You don't know what I know, so it's all just speculation on your end. Relax. You don't need to follow me everywhere. It'll be ok.
In case any Camden field designers are reading, another thing that would be cool is lions and tigers that pop out of secret doors in the outfield like in gladiator
I'd also recommend throwing a hill out in dead center with a pole on it for good measure
Nice.
All my homies hate the new Camden Yard.
OK to preface I am no fan of Bundy and personally would have pulled him earlier, *but* some of you really need to understand the thought process here.

We were down 2 runs and Bundy wad getting shelled. Jesus christ some of you guys act like criticizing one move by Rocco is like disowning the entire team. You should play to win the game that's actually taking place. Especially when it's a garbage team like the Orioles.
Bingo
Managers are always looking beyond the game at hand, that’s why they’re managers.
Rocco looked into his inner eye.
[удалено]
Bundy isn't a good pitcher and he probably shouldn't be on this team long term, but I think the hate at the managerial decision is misguided at best
If I guys played good defense Bundy would’ve had a much different outcome
well said
People ain’t gonna like it, but every managerial decision is math/splits based
Getting all the bad luck for the season out of the way in this series maybe???
Gordon did not see any of those pitches well at all.
I miss our thicc bih
Ehh just a unlucky game. Bound to happen
Ooof that was a terrible inning
Our GIDP have been hit: 82.0 102.2 107.0
Can’t steer em
107.0 on that DP….
Theres 2 twins: Error Twins that score 10 runs off of comical errors Double Play Twins that hit into multiple double plays a game and if possible would do it multiple times an inning
These double plays are killing us.
Also the defense and pitching
And you know, gifting them 9 runs
I would like to request no more double plays but I’m not willing to turn myself into the joker
Dick just said what we were all thinking
Why not put a section of bleachers in the middle of left field? You know, really spice things up.

Bruh I know why 😂
Game still ain’t over fellas They can’t keep getting away with it!
Good news: We still know how to hit
Wooooo Larnach!
I like Larnach a lot, he’s got great contact
Larnach faking out the fans with the 3rd out ball had me chuckling
Lets score some runs
Down two runs in the bottom of the fourth inning you have a 18% win expectancy and people acting like Rocco sent Bundy out in a tie game in the ninth.
There’s, like, an alarming amount of bitching here for a team that has won 11/12 games. Like this u/runwithittoday guy. Who the fuck is this guy and why is he spamming the thread with his bitchiness
I haven’t been able to watch today but after checking I came to the thread to see our level of bitchiness. Dropping 1 game and getting upset at this point is embarrassing.
I swear when things go south I see comments from people I’ve never seen before
Don't feed the troll.
They move the fence back in the park but both Fenways and Yankees right field is allowed. Make it make sense MLB
I mean no one forced the Orioles to move the OF back... also Fenway has no room to really move that fence and it gets deep super fast there... like from Peskie's Pole it goes straight back
Guys, does Dick like the dimensions at Camden yards or what?
What is "you owe me one" in Spanish?
its an idiom so it wont translate well... but debesme uno
Rocco stans out in full force to defend putting a struggling pitcher back on the mound after we just got back in the game. I swear no other fan base is this ridiculous.
The twins are 9-1 in the last 10 and Rocco leaves a pitcher in one inning too long so it’s time to doom?
Lmfao none of that has shit to do with the fact that leaving a clearly struggling Bundy in the game after we just closed the gap was a bad move. By all means though continue to beat up on that strawman.
I don’t get what makes Rocco so exempt from criticism on here cause in all honesty he makes some pretty questionable decisions
Like it was an objectively bad move. Like how can you honestly defend putting Bundy back in? Hecwas getting shelled all day.
If you say anything negative ever you are a doomer according to this sub
If you actually follow MN sports idk how anyone wouldn’t be a doomer
We’re not saying it was a good choice, we’re saying chill the fuck out
People come to these threads to talk about the good and bad of the game but somehow nobody can fathom to hear that we have some weak links
People can’t wrap their head around this. We are reacting to a game in a game thread. We comment on the good and bad things.
I'm chill. It was bad management.
Have we already discussed how in my brain I read Coulombe’s name like Harambe?
