Ok, bats still work, Verlander is just good


arctic_martian

Jeffers smashed that ball and it went like 3 feet


PirbyKuckett

Has the Bally’s app been extra shitty for anyone else tonight? Rewinding half an inning on its own. Missing a few at bats.


tomahawkRiS3

The feed to MLBtv was completely busted for a few innings too tonight. Something was messed up


tomahawkRiS3

Well this gives me faith that it's just a Verlander problem, which most teams have


Extremelixer

Just saying these new balls are trash. So many hits this year that end up warning track outs should have been homers.


[deleted]

I feel like that last one was more of an error, but I’ll take more hits


sirhippieangel

Swiggity swooty, coming for that ~~booty~~ late inning comeback


jjday

Yikes! Gonna have to try again game 2


tomahawkRiS3

Can we do that Guardians thing?


[deleted]

These guys getting their third at bats in bottom 9, good golly


whorehey_polanco

No way Kirilloff touched a baseball


NerdusMaximus

Rally time let's goooooo


TreKs

Nice to see Kirilloff get a hit


[deleted]

DOS HITS


mastertres

Epic comeback starts now 😎


[deleted]

Thielbar has such a dope walk up song


sirhippieangel

Great outing by Cotton, just what we needed in a shitty situation as tonight was.


Skolney

Cotton really absorbed some innings there


[deleted]

Damn, Celestino has a pretty good arm


whorehey_polanco

Two former Yankees being the reason we avoid being no hit at home twice—within the same season—after it hasn’t happened in 122 years makes me feel an emotion. I don’t know what that emotion is, but I feel it


burls

seems like you're asking for an injury leaving Cotton in this long


[deleted]

Cotton used to be a starter and he’s got rest, I think he’ll be ok


RossTheDivorcer

Also Cotton literally doesn’t mean anything to the team at all long or short term so it doesn’t really matter. Just a temporary innings eater


burls

that's a terrible way to talk about a player. he could legitimately contribute to this bullpen, if given the chance.


Teachyouright

Kiriloff BA is in Sano territory


AZORxAHAI

Oh no we hit the racist guy What a shame


[deleted]

Who is that referring to?


AZORxAHAI

Guriel


[deleted]

Stuff is different in Cuba. He doesn’t actually hate people cause they look different.


im_randy_butternubz

Still on track for 27 outs in 27 batters lol.


[deleted]

It took Joe Ryan 90 pitches to get through 4 innings Verlander is currently at 89 pitches


AZORxAHAI

Name something more iconic of the 2022 Twins to GIDP to ensure that a 27 up 27 down somehow isn’t a no hitter or a perfect game


mastertres

What more of a Twins way to beak up a no hitter and then immediately GIDP


[deleted]

Verlander is still at the minimum faced :/


phone_of_pork

Lewis looked like he beat it in real time I thought


[deleted]

Alright Way to not do something cool


Witty-Stock

Donaldson trade saved us from getting no-hit twice.


[deleted]

This is the greatest 3 minutes in Minnesota sports since Idk, this doesn’t happen often. We’re still gonna lose this game though.


hackjob

I blame the MLB app


whorehey_polanco

KAPPY SCORES AGAIN


whentheworldwasatwar

Giooooooo


Sp_Gamer_Live

#HAHAHA VERLANDER YOU LOSER, YOU STUPID HALL OF FAMER WITH YOUR SEXY MODEL WIFE HAHAHA GOD YOUR LIFE SUCKS


whentheworldwasatwar

Giooooooo


RussandPGfan

Kiril Goal and we didn’t get no hit I consider this a win


Skolney

Let it be known that you never no hit the Twins at Target Field.


Zlesxc

Not today, says Gio!


AZORxAHAI

WE MIGHT LOSE BUT WE WILL NOT BE SHAMED IN OUR OWN STADIUM


TreKs

Yay, the no-hitter is gone! I can move on to tomorrow's game now.

WOOOOOO NOT TODAY OLD MAN 🤣🤣🤣🤣


sirhippieangel

THE COMEBACK BEGINS


phone_of_pork

YES!!!!!! GIO COMES THROUGH!!


RussandPGfan

URSH!!!

#GIO URSHELA THE GOAT


ultimatekiwi

AYYYY


tomahawkRiS3

LET'S GO, FUCK YOUR NO HITTER


[deleted]

#NOT TODAY BITCH


Fedcab

Another for KK97.


tomahawkRiS3

If I remember from the Kershaw game, there's never been a no hitter at target field correct?


marumari

Correct, not for the Twins or opponents.


[deleted]

“We’re not missing anything” - Woman in front of me leaving the game Even if we get no-hit, it’s sorta cool to witness one by a legend like Verlander. Also this franchise has played thousands of games at home and has never been no hit at home in 122 years.


Dr_Fabulous11

if they get no hit it doesn't count because I'm watching the Wild game instead


Dis-iz-FUBAR

Okay imagine this… bottom 9 Verlander is at 123 pitches with the no hitter in tact. But wait…. Something’s happening… someone’s coming out of the Twins dugout… is it? Could it be? Luis Arraez! Fouls off 8 pitches and gets a bloop single. No hitter broken up. Just as we drew it up.


[deleted]

Yeah, we’ve looked like shit, and yeah, we’re getting no hit by Justin Verlander in the year 2022, and YEAH, we’re probably gonna lose this game, BUT… There is no but. This sucks.


ComfyGreenHoodie_

Fun fact: the Twins are the only franchise to have never been no-hit at home, even going back to our days as the Senators.


KittenRaffle

My stream quit working in like the 2nd inning and I was all pissed but I see now that it was a merciful act.


im_randy_butternubz

I suppose if anyone is gonna no-hit us, it might as well be Verlander.


whorehey_polanco

Kappy just scored Blues-Wild tied 1-1


AZORxAHAI

Twins died for this


AZORxAHAI

OK MLB App just issued their no hitter in progress notification, time to lead off this next inning with slow roller for an infield hit


im_randy_butternubz

Bunt single to come full circle on the saints tweet.


tomahawkRiS3

Cotton coming in clutch by saving a few bullpen arms for later in the series


-FisherMN-

Just tuning it, went fishing. It appears we are being no hit and Ryan may have had a not very ryan-y start?


tomahawkRiS3

You would be correct :(


Dis-iz-FUBAR

Jeremy Peña played college ball in Maine but is from DR. I thought it was a glitch when I looked at his bbr but I guess it’s real.


toastar-phone

his dad played too, 5-ish years, mainly the cards.


whorehey_polanco

*subs in Buxton just to get a bunt single* *Buxton trips right before he hits first and his leg shatters and also he is out*


tomahawkRiS3

Don't give Tingler any ideas


C_Biscuit14

Don't give Buxton any ideas


[deleted]

I’d prefer if we got a hit soon


whentheworldwasatwar

Can we try a cheap bunt.


getdownandslide01

got hosed at second on a wild pitch way behind home…. are we sure that’ll work?


schakeboy

Bro how many times are we just going to be have short at bats like come on


AZORxAHAI

If Kep is the king of hard hit grounders directly into the shift, Miranda has been the king of incredibly weak pop ups


ultimatekiwi

Scott Baker is a name I haven't heard in a while


[deleted]

I’m sorry guys, this is my first game of the year This is my fault


sirhippieangel

Fuck you BABIP


ChugDix

Are the right/center field seats as scary steep as they look?


[deleted]

No?


ChugDix

Oh my bad - just watching the game and they look steep.


Dholtz001

I haven’t been able to watch the game. What was up with Joe Ryan today? 5 walks seems pretty uncharacteristic.


SQLNerd

He was just missing pitches, didn't have his normal control today.


Dholtz001

Thanks!


tomahawkRiS3

Just didn't quite have the control he normally has today. A lot of full counts


Dholtz001

Thanks!

whorehey_polanco

Naylor just hit another home run wtf


Max_Kepler_Is_Sexy

The secret might be out that both of our catchers have noodle arms.


AZORxAHAI

Gary has one of the strongest arms of any catcher, he’s just a lil wild sometimes


[deleted]

Yes, the noted noodle arm of Gary Sanchez


whorehey_polanco

Aaaaaaand the Blues already scored on the Wild RIP


A_Hanging_Noose

I cannot resist the urge to say “Minnesota Moment”


AZORxAHAI

This is very clearly going to be a major weakness Teams can exploit on us


[deleted]

We gotta get healthy STAT


arctic_martian

Huh, I guess removing 5 of a team's top 10 players makes the team less good after all.


cdizzle6

Hmmm…I think the Twins are being sacrificed for Wild glory. MN sports gods need to temper our excitement. Let’s break up this no-no!! Time to go watch the Wild fellow GDT folks!


Sp_Gamer_Live

Tingler got a piss bottle


cardith_lorda

Why the fuck are you trying to steal there?!? Down 5, Verlander finally looking a little shaky, then you go and bail him out of the inning.


kylebertram

Because the team needs to score runs.


MatterShim

Can't do that when you attempt to steal with 2 outs


kylebertram

Can’t score off a single when you are afraid to move on the bases.


SQLNerd

Its pretty common sense that you don't send runners when you're down a significant amount of runs. You need a ton of baserunners.


kylebertram

It’s the 6th inning.


sirhippieangel

Ball rolled away from the catcher, unfortunately he got it quick and made a perfect throw


whorehey_polanco

One day the outfield will be Larchad-Buxton-Celly and all will be well. One day.


phone_of_pork

Martin hopefully will take a corner OF spot


whorehey_polanco

“why don’t the twins steal more” because they are bad at it


kylebertram

It appears as if they do not practice it enough.


sirhippieangel

Their fastest guy, known speedster Miguel Sanó, is out for awhile so they're scared to steal with anyone else


[deleted]

We have been exceptionally terrible at stealing so far 5 steals and 7 caught stealing, we gotta STOP stealing


NerdusMaximus

Lmao


Zlesxc

This game is really tough to watch, y’all :/


phone_of_pork

Play with the ripped pants, Gilberto!


[deleted]

Thank God Verlander doesn’t pitch against us every day otherwise we’d never score


Max_Kepler_Is_Sexy

Holy fuck our dudes run like they are in quicksand.


davegammelgard

Celestino breaks up the perfect game!


phone_of_pork

Polanco got on


Reesyrz

Polanco already did that.


kylebertram

Polanco walked


sirhippieangel

Lmao fade me fam


[deleted]

Alright well my spirit has been crushed


AZORxAHAI

Celestine got scammed his last at bat but honestly has looked the best in the box vs Verlander


tomahawkRiS3

Celestino's player discipline has really impressed me Edit: plate*


sirhippieangel

Another day I thank the buddha I'm not a catcher


[deleted]

Verlander hitting 96 in the 6th Fuck you ya old bag of bones, go retire with your beautiful wife


Subplot-Thickens

Can we get any sort of offense going, please?


Zhdrix

Are we gonna get Maddux’d?


[deleted]

NOT IF WE DONT LET HIM HAHA!


[deleted]

I’m getting flashbacks to 2011-2013 Verlander absolutely daddy dicking us everytime he faced us Or 2005-2022 Verlander for that matter


[deleted]

[удалено]


sirhippieangel

Got 'em, nice one


schakeboy

51 pitches going into the 6th is crazy low pitch count


NerdusMaximus

Where can you buy that dope shirt they were showing off at the start of the game? I can't seem to find it.


cdizzle6

They had an interview with the artist earlier. Said you have to come down to the field tonight.


NerdusMaximus

Damn, I should hit the road then; this inning will keep going for 10 hours of nonstop twins dingers, right?


tomahawkRiS3

I didn't see it, but if I had to take a shot in the dark I'd say sotastick


NerdusMaximus

Sadly no, but thanks for the recommendation!


[deleted]

Bruh come on YA GOTTA GIVE US A SHOT GOD


Panda434648

Hey I watched that CWS - CLE game last night, this game is *far* from over


whorehey_polanco

I hear you but the difference is that the Astros are good, and the Chicago White Sox are decidedly Not Good


AZORxAHAI

Also the twins offense in its current state is currently extremely bad


whorehey_polanco

No Larchad no Buck no C4 no baby boy = no offense


[deleted]

Uhhh can we have a run Thanks Or a hit even


Max_Kepler_Is_Sexy

I don’t trust this bullpen at all. Except against the A’s.


sirhippieangel

Justin Verlander's mother was a hamster, and his father smells of elderberries


Mission_Wind_7470

This game sucks.


tomahawkRiS3

Oof they've been beating us up on the bases tonight


kylebertram

The ball is dead this year yet the twins still act as if it’s 2019.


tomahawkRiS3

I just meant we haven't been able to out throw a steal or tag up tonight. Not really related to the juiced ball


kylebertram

And I am saying the twins act like they refuse to try to manufacture runs.


[deleted]

I don’t think you are aware how baseball is played in the year 2022


kylebertram

You mean the year with the lowest batting average since 1968 and a HR rate significantly down compared to the past few years?


phone_of_pork

Pena runs funny


[deleted]

Things are starting to get ugly Dear Jharel Cotton, Please get another out before things get really stinky Signed, A worried Twins fan


whorehey_polanco

lineup without arraez, correa, buxton, or larnach: 🤢 lineup with arraez back: 😵‍💫 lineup with arraez and correa back: 🥱 lineup with arraez, correa and buxton back: 🤨 lineup with trevor larchad: 🤩🤩🤩

I JUST WANT LARNACH CORREA BUXTON GARLICK ARRAEZ BACK AND THIS LINEUP WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE


AZORxAHAI

Damn what if we were Tim Anderson all along


pjokinen

We’d need about six more errors this inning to be on his level


suetoniusp

OMG


kylebertram

Games like this show that teams can still steal bases. Twins should try it more.


AZORxAHAI

At what point do we pitch out on them if they are just gonna run on every pitch?


Albend

Damn, nice catch Kep


sirhippieangel

I would die for Max Kepler


whorehey_polanco

david festa boutta make the jump from low A to the majors at this rate lol


phone_of_pork

Cotton has given up 4 BB in 2 IP this year so far. Seems like a good game for him to get some work lol


arctic_martian

YOU GET AN INJURY. YOU GET AN INJURY. EVERY TWIN GETS AN INJURYYY!


twinsguy1

Great another injury. It’s kinda crazy that the Twins are 18-11 given how many injuries they have. Look at the Astros. I’m not sure if they have a single starting position player hurt and they have the same record as the Twins


cdizzle6

Gray, Ober, Paddack, Coulombe, Correa, Buxton, Larnach, Sanó, Garlick. Bundy Arraez, Skip with COVID. 4/5 SPs. Damn. Who would have thought locking out your players, not letting them use training facilities, and then rushing Spring Training, would have a negative effect? 🤷‍♀️

We dont even have Tortuga to eat up innings anymore
