Game 32: twins @ tigers

It's been a while since I posted a game log. Let's see what happened since my last one...

Oh....oh no.

Over the past few weeks we've gone from "stay the course. This will get better" to "I wonder how much we can get for Berrios and Cruz".

Put simply, this sucks. A lot. The season isn't truly lost yet, but it's very, very close.

We can argue over where exactly the blame lies. As is often the case during seasons like this, there are a LOT of targets. It's an exercise in misery either way.

Today, our best pitcher tries to best one of the few teams who is unquestionably worse than us. Let's make sure that lead is nice and big by the time that bullpen comes in.

Also, IT'S LARNACH SZN! Good luck, kid. We need you.

    1. Another welcome to the big leagues: If you don't get the ball in quickly, runners will take an extra base on you.

  1. Wish we could have got more but we are not getting shut out so that's good.

  2. It took 104 pitches but Berríos gets his strikeout. An effectively wild outing to walk five but only give up two runs.

  3. Provus said earlier that the Twins had not overcome a deficit of more than one run to win all season.

  4. If the Twins don't score in the ninth, it will be 19 of 32 games in which they have scored three or fewer runs.

  5. It would be awesome if Kepler tied it with a grand slam. I don't expect it, but it would be awesome.

  6. Are we at the point where we simply say, in the words of Bill Parcells, "You are what your record says you are"?

      1. Stages of grief. I’m bargaining. “But, but...I bought the MLB Audio this year!...”

        1. Them's fighting words.

          Also, my boss is a Grinnell grad, so this is a hill I will not yield.
