Now that is a good marketing team.

I just showed this to my son who is a gamer....he said "Blizzard might be a bunch of scumbags, but they sure know how to advertise!!"

golden.  Level 23 barb so far!! lol

 

Twins down 4-1. 

 

Not a lineup guy usually as I always say but JFC. What does Burger have to do man? Why are TA and Beni, both in terrible stretches, getting the most PA?

Isn’t the entire offense pretty terrible right now? Burger needs to hit on the road.

It's a bad offense, which is why we need to squeeze the most out of it with lineup construction. Anyways, just win the game, maybe TA will heat up.

Agreed, but that was sort of my point. How can you construct it better if everyone sucks? Burger has been brutal on the road, right?

Twins lose

If we win both games, we are 2.5 back, right? If we split we are 3.5

It's just plain dumb batting Burger 7th and Moncada 5th. I would rather see Burger hit higher so he can potentially see better pitches than sitting at 7th. Moncada hasn't done s%*# on the road either.

I know Burger has done bad on the road, but so has the entire team. Hence why the Sox are 11-20 on the road.

All AL Central divisions teams are now under .500, the division is there for the taking.

The Twins not only got swept by the Rays 3-0, but that was their 5th straight loss.

The Twins are now officially one game under 500 at 31-32 and lead the lead the Central division.

The Central division is the only division in baseball with every single team under 500. 

Grifol is an old school lineup guy.  Handedness and what the offseason plan was matters more then the actual results.

Just Split Baby!

I can't fucking stand watching TA's approach. PULL THE FUCKING BALL

Yoan still battling long covid apparently.

Moncada looks absolutely toast up there, he has nothing on his swing 

cannot wait until this fraud is gone

He’s got to go.

He’s going to be out of baseball in a few years.  They need to stop playing him.

Is it just me, or is Eloy being more selective at the plate recently?

I think sadly he has chronic back issues.

It doesn't help with who is behind him. Pitchers are giving him less to hit because he is one of the only dangerous hitters we got

He was awful last year before the back stuff.  There’s a lot more going on than just that.

$24M in 2024. They're going to play him at least until next June. I don't know if they have the guts to DFA him even then.

Yeah, seems pretty obvious at this point. Feel like he should just go on the IL for a month again and figure it out if its even possible
